Non-crafted weapons and armor will be treated as follows: Tier 1-4 : Steel Tier 5: Kertig Tier 6+: Tyrium In other words, they won't be as easily enchanted as items crafted from appropriate materials - but for Kertig and below it should be possible. Going to suck if someone uses a "chance to destroy item on use" Focus to fit something on a Katana though! NMU enchanting will require Arcana skill ranks and be less efficient. Don't believe there won't ever be some repercussions for learning too much about it as a Barbarian. Base items equivalent to steel will be for sale in the Enchanting Hall so you won't NEED another player to make stuff for Work Orders. I am currently muddled with the alloying process. In forging it is all or none. It is kertig, or it is crap once it becomes an alloy. I would prefer a system such as: 100% Orichalcum Boardsword - Horrible stats, Excellent Enchantability 60% Orichalcum, 40% Kertig Broadsword - Poor stats, High Enchantability 60% Kertig, 40% Orichalcum Broadsword - Average stats, Good Enchantability 70% Kertig, 30% Orichalcum Broadsword - Excellent stats, Terrible Enchantability There will also be some extremely rare metals that when added in small quantities, provide a boost to the enchantability. You'd have to experiment to find just how much "space" you need to fit the enchantments you want. Enchanting as a whole benefits from cross-class interaction a bit more than the other skills. However, it can also be said the other skills benefit from Enchanting as it gives them a new revenue source. I do have plans for a "solo path" in the system. For example, an Ethereal Furnace can be set to produce to an orb, rod, or ring. Push it with the raw material in your hand, and get an 80-quality finished product out. Not as good as having someone make the orb, rod or ring for you. But it lets you sell reasonably good product solo.
