Enchanting Guide

For those that don't know a burin from a fount.

Enchanting is a craft that consists of three disciplines: Artificing, Binding, and Invoking. (Only Artificing has been released; the other two have yet to be implemented.) Artificing itself consists of five areas: Utility and Fluff, Magical Foci, Fount Creation, Artificing Tools and Wands and Runestones.

Required Instructions and Tools

Instructions

The first thing you need is a book of artificing instructions from the enchanting society. The book contains the recipes, ingredients, and instructions for each of the Artificing products you can make. There are three, only the master artificing instructions contain all of the projects. The smaller books contain subsets. All three books are for sale in the local Enchanting Society's Bookstore.

Tools

Below are the tools used in artificing.

Tool	Used In	Crafted by	Item Crafted From
Enchanter's burin	Artificing	Shaping and Carving	Burin
Fount	Artificing	Carving	Sphere
Loop	Artificing	Shaping and Carving	Pole
Imbuement rod	Artificing	Shaping and Carving	rod
Enchanter's brazier	Artificing	Blacksmithing	brazier

As soon as you are able to make a mastercrafted tool, make one of each for yourself and use it. Then work your skills up for the next tier of tool. You will always craft better end-products with master-crafted tools. The best available crafted tools have not been sold yet.

Raw Materials

Now Artificing consists of sigils and capacity so you can work the items you need to work at the quality needed. Most folks including starting folks can use the society-bought sigils and base items, but you should go hunt your own sigils down. Enchanting uses base items from all different crafts. Below are some of the capacity for the different materials.

Material	Capacity
Silver	50
Electrum	55
Niniam	60
Niello	60
Indurium	70
Orichalcum	80
Belzune	90
Marble	50
Granite	50
Quartzite	45
Zeltfish-bone	70
Deer-bone	50
Reaver-bone	50
Alder	55
Larch	62
Balsa	70

Farming Sigils

Sigils come in Primary and Secondary sigils. They have two aspects to them to judge their strength and how easy they are to use. clarity (quality) and precision (hardness).

1. CLARITY is the quality rating, like a material's quality property. It determines how pure the Sigil is.
2. PRECISION is the strength. Like the hardness property is to weapons, the greater the precision, the more powerful the enchant from the sigil will be.

When you farm sigils you are looking for them in any room in the realms. They are supposedly separated by different seasons and rural and city areas. This has thus far not shown to be the case. They also tend to be the same ones in the same rooms. This means if you find a rare sigil in one spot you can continue to farm them at that same spot in the future.
