Hammerwatch II – Apprentice Herian Adventurer Enchanting Guide

This guide offers a quick introduction to enchanting for Apprentice Herian Adventurers and serves as a handy reference for Master Adventurers. It specifically emphasizes the advantages of using components for enchantments and does not cover random enchantments. Please note that this is the ultimate and only version of this guide.

Die Grundlagen

When and Where Can I Enchant?

You can enchant your gear in the Royal City of Aventurine, located just south of the main square and northeast of the lake. Look for the enchanter, symbolized by an axe on the minimap. You gain unlimited access to this enchanter after leaving Hammer Island, the starting area.

What Can I Enchant?

You’re free to enchant items you can equip, wie zum Beispiel:

• Mainhand Weapons: Enhance damage and penetration.
• Head Armor: Boost spell bonuses and acquire new skills.
• Chest Armor: Reinforce physical defense.
• Hands Armor: Gain attack bonuses.
• Feet Armor: Enjoy movement bonuses.
• Zubehör: Enhance resistance.
• Offhand Weapons: These can be enchanted, but not with components (more on this below).

Gemeinsam (Weiß) and uncommon (Grün) equipment are eligible for enchantment, while rarer gear comes pre-enchanted.

How Do I Enchant?

Enchanting requires several components:

• Ausrüstung: The gear you want to enchant.
• Gold: Gathered from various sources, primarily quests and commerce.
• Elven Runes: These come in Lesser and Greater forms. Disenchant uncommon (Grün) gear for Lesser Runes and rare (Blau) gear for Greater Elven Runes. They can also be found as drops or in secret rooms.
• Komponenten (optional): Diverse enchanting components, often obtained as enemy drops. Use them to influence the enchantment outcome for customized gear, focusing on aspects like armor improvement or health regeneration.

Dinge, die Sie beachten sollten

• This guide emphasizes controlled enchantments. Jedoch, you’ll encounter uncommon and rare items with fixed enchantments.
• In the enchantment interface, avoid selecting a component if you want a random enchantment. Gold and runes alone will do the job.
• If you accidentally select a component, right-click it to remove it from the slot without closing the interface.

• Offhand equipment, inklusive Schilde, Kugeln, Wurfmesser, Bögen, and tomes, can be enchanted but not with components, resulting in random enchantments. Some players believe that offering skill bonuses to offhand equipment would have been a more mechanically fitting choice than head equipment.
