So I've struggled to find good source of info on this topic so after a lot of research and experimentations I've come up with this guide that should help you understand this cool new feature of Fractured, as well giving some optimal recipes for tier 1 (T1) enchantments. Feel fre to use this as base to replicate the knoledge for our community

I'll be referencing to some amazing spreadsheets put together by incredible community folks! You rock! =D

Here @Soaryng took the time to creat a spreadsheet compiling the reagents and their stats! Great work!

Here @maze and Cross I belive, went even beyond and made an interacting spreadsheet with many functions
Just Outstanding (If you know the author exactly, let me know in the comments)

But let these spreadsheets aside for now or they won't make much sense.

First up there are 3 tiers of enchanting. The highier the tier, the greater the bonus to the item. (Duhh!)

We have diferent categories of items to enchant. Each has it's own enchanting options. These categories and their enchanting options are:

• Weapons
  Damage increase
  Crit. Chance
  Crit. Damage
  Spell Damage increase
  Accuracy bonus
  Luck Bonus
  Durable

• Armor(chest, head, hand, feet)
  Endurance regeneration bonus
  Mana regen. bonus
  Armor increase
  Evasion bonus
  Accuracy Bonus
  Fortitude bonus
  Willpower bonus
  Ice/Fire/Shock/Magic/Poison/Acid Resistances
  Luck Bonus
  Durable

• Neckless (in the future I believe rings will fall in this category too)
  Bonus endurance
  Endurance regeneration bonus
  Dexterity/Perception/Charisma/Constitution Bonuses
  Damage increase
  Crit. Chance
  Crit. Damage
  Spell Damage increase
  Evasion/Accuracy/Willpower/Fortitude/Stealth/Detection/Lockpicking/Luck Bonuses
  Ice/Fire/Shock/Magic/Poison/Acid Resistances
  Lower Mana cost
  Cooldown reduction
  Durable

• Shield
  Evasion/Fortitude/Willpower/Luck Bonuses
  Ice/Fire/Shock/Magic/Poison/Acid Resistances
  Durable

How many enchantations can an Item recieve?
This amount depends on the Magic affinity of that item 

Above you see my armor that recieved 3 T1 enchantments, so it went from 7/7 brand new to 4/7 where "4" indicates the number of slots available.

The chest armor has the most with 7 "slots".
The Primitive Mage staff for exemple has Magic affinity of 3, so in other words, 3 slots for enchanting.

A tier 1 (T1) enchantment takes 1 slot. A tier 2 (T2) Enchantment takes 2 and a tier 3 (T3) takes 3.
(I'm not completely sure here on the T3 one so if anyone can confirm this info in the comments I can edit later)

Once you use one enchantment you can no longer do it again on the same item. For exemple:
Say I enchant my neckless with Inteligence bonus Tier 1 (T1). I will get +1 inteligence but it will take one slot in the Magic Affinity indicator changing from the original 7/7 to 6/7. Now I cannot enchant it with the same armor T1 again. You can however put Inteligence bonus T2 on it. The tier 2 inteligence gives 2 inteligence and it won't Stack up. So if you put T1 first and T2 afterwards you still end up with +2 inteligence from the T2.

How does it work?
when you get to an enchanting table and place the item on the center of the pentagram, it will display the enchantments options available, and each has 4 element "bubbles" that you will have to fill in order to be able to apply that enchantment.

When you insert reagents on the five slots you apply the reagent's stats. Althoug there are several Elements and it might look confusing at first, there is a good logic behind it, and whoever came up with this system is either a 4d chessplayer genius or a madman hahaha but don`t worry I'll help you understand it and it gets easier when you pass the initial confusion.

There are 19 elements on enchantation with cool names and nice symbols to them. Each reagent will have 3 different elements to it and you can see them hovering the mouse over the item so for exemple :

Above we have the spider gland Droped by the big spiders. It gives 2 Transform, 3 Life and 3 Order.
Tranform, Life and Order are 3 of the 19 Elements I mentioned.

Now here is what happens when I put it on the wheel:
 image url)
(You can hover to mouse over the simbols to see what element they represent)

Here we see that except Luck, all the other possible enchantments use either Transform or Order. Let's look only at Critical damage for a sec

The Spider gland gave it 2 ticks of Transform and 3 ticks of Order.

So what is the minimum requirement to be able to Enchant?

First it's good to note that you dont need 5 reagents on the wheel in order to do that.

For a Tier 1 enchantments you need a combination of Reagents that grant at least 2 "ticks" on the four elements like you see here:
When the condition is met, the line lights up like you see above for Critical chance and luck bonus.

(note that here there are two options of enchantment. There can be several at once depending on the combination of reagents. In this case the game will randomly select one of the lit up lines. Because of that whenever possible you want to find a combination that isolates the enchantment option you desire)

For tier 2 enchantments you need a combination of Reagents that grant at least 5 ticks on all four elements of the desired enchantment.

At this stage in Alpha this kind of combination is not yet possible for most enchantments since we have a limited number of monsters and reagents. The curently limited available reagents have low stats, but in the future with more content there will be more reagents. They can be hard to find and rare or have better stats.

Our Bright developers can play with this in order to make Tier 2 and 3 enchantments something very desirable to give you a significant edge over your opponents and at the same time make the gathering process something to stimulate us to go to a diferent planet, hunt certain monsters or bosses, and even create a nice economy around it. We have to remember that items have durability and if there is no repairing tool, you'll have to keep recreating your "perfect set" from time to time and this gathering and enchanting may be a great deal in the universe of Fractured.

For Tier 3 Enchantments you need a combination of Reagents that grant 10 ticks on all four elements of the desired enchantment. 

Above you can see the different collors on the "ticks" in the element "bubble". This one is the Energy element. The first 2 ticks are blue for Tier 1, the next 3 are purple for Tier 2, and the last 5 are Pink for Tier 3. Very Smart, very cool! Congratulations to the Devs =D

I can already see a great challange being the isolation of the desired Enchantment. Reaching a High Tier combination is already a challenge, now when you have multiple lines lighting up, that means you have one in two, one three chances of getting what you want. If you want to combine 2 or 3 different enchantments than it becomes an estatistic nightmare!!! That can be a real pain! so unless the Devs balance this in a way you have unique combinations for the various enchantments with 5 slots on the pentagram, 19 elements, 3 tiers and countless reagents.... getting those specific enchantments is going to be no more than a gamble... and more often than not, sadly, you won't get what you want.
Edit 04Apr2020: In the AMA @Prometheus clarified that RNG should not be an issue and that it should be easy to isolate the specific recipes!!! Great news!!

Here are some recipies of T1 I've come up with by experimenting thanks to the spreadsheet of @Soaryng. I've tryed several combinations and came up with the ones tha not only isolate the desired enchantment but also use the most commonly and easily found reagents.


Increse armor by 8%


Increase Durability by 50%


Increase Crt. Damage by 15%

Increase Crit. Chance by 1,5% Here I could not isolate so it's a 50% chance to get it right which suck because the rabbit paw is hard to get. (rabbits respawn in the same place so if you find one close to your house try to memmorize it's location and keep coming back for it =D)


Gives +1,5 something Mana regen



Tier 2 Inteligence!!! gives 2 inteligence

Conclusion:
Enchanting seems daunting at first but it eventually starts making sense. Like many other features of the game I'm very impressed with it. It looks like this will be a big part of the gameplay and it gives back meaning for hunting certain monsters and gathering stuff on the way. I noticed that after you discover all the knowledge of a monster, and accuire it's abilities, hunting it loses purpouse. But with this in place some hunting will get a whole new meaning and I'm excited to see how this is going to create an economy around it.

Enchanting is like a puzzle where you try to find the perfect match with various pieces and I enjoyed it a lot! I hope my efforts can help others not so inclined to experiment get a faster result out of it. If you control the wiki please use this info!! and a shout out to @Vengu If you could add this to the "A compilation of everything we know about Fractured." page that would be great!

Leave a comment if I got something wrong or if there anything we can add to it and this can be a post to help people understand this tricky cool new system!

As a note for the Devs: Thank you so much! Your work is fenomenal and I love it! xD

Level 2 enchantments require +5 ticks on all 4 elements
When multiple are higlighted the game randomly selects one
Chaos has only rabbit paw and Dandilion, but in the future we should have more reagents and that should be solved

For that and more about echanting I`ve made a guide take a look
https://forum.fracturedmmo.com/topic/10306/enchanting-table-guide-basic-mechanics-how-to/2

@r6G4596Y7G9AwD0TzJTxFSZx Sorry mate you miss the point here...

We're not paying 90+ 150+ euro to consume something. That aperently is your mentality right now at least. We're donating funds for the development of a game that we believe can be awesome. In the meantime we get the priviledge of testing it, contributing to it, helping the devs with feedback. so on and so forth.

We fell in love with the concepts of the game and made an investment on something with potential.

It's not a purchase, it's the very funding of the game we will play and enjoy in the future.

And guess what, being a part of it makes it that much more special!

Might not be for you and that's ok

You can learn all of that in the main page of the game and in the forum... if only you look for it

For me the strong focus on dodging/eliminating/avoiding the grinding is one of the main diferentials on this game!

Other then the isometric camera, it is nothing like diablo dispite the comments above.

The focus on long and risky expeditions to accuire resources without fast travel also sets it appart for me.

I love the three worlds three gameplays in harmony proposal!

The fact that gear is not going to set you appart from the crowd, instead its your skill and knoledge of the game that might give you the upper hand!

With the basic mage skills (firebolt, magic missiles) killing the enforcer is nearly impossible.

So I climbed a rock that is unreacheble to the enforcer gobling and even fireing everything on his huge life combined with his insane healing skill makes it impossible to kill it! I ran out of mana and couldn't kill it.

It would be nice if his life and healing were adjusted to make it possible for a solo player to kill

Edit I noticed that with the implementation of mana potions killing it would be more possible but I still believe it is a bit overpowered specially considering the large population of gobblins together

Disclaimer: Full flaged fan here this is my constructive criticism not an attack or anything stupid and mean like that.

I remember when back in a day (far back) @Prometheus talked about how travelling would be diferent in Fractured and things would actually be far and going from A to B would not be so simple and there should be no fastravel or something on the lines of that. So on and so forth

Well having said that and having played the game a couple of times..... I'm not a big fan of how this is turning out to be. Going from the spawn city to valey of shadows is a loooooooooong and boring task that took us over 30 minutes I believe. Without the auto run buttom (That we desperatly need! Dev team please help!). Right now this task literaly hurts the fingers! to keep pressing down for so long is not fun.

I remember He also saying that we would get speed bonus for travelling on the roads which I Don't believe is yet implemented and if it is it could use a buff for it's unoticible. And I must also consider that we should see mounts comming on the future of the game. Those two should hopefully bring great improvement to that aspect of gameplay!

It's important to note that I see a lot of people complaining about this issue in the chat.

Now, since it's only Alpha and we barelly have content, there`s only a hand full of interest places, or diferent biomes you can visit on Myr but they are spread in the vast ramndomly generated Map. When you get to areas where the Devs have put some work into like the spawn city, heartwood, the last part of the valey of shadows when you pass the bridges. Those places are stuning and varied! it's great. But to get there you go through extensive and endless distances in only 3 maybe 4 different biomes all looking the same. Like I said it's not fun.

I wonder If the devs made it this way to give room for future content or if it was just to show how big the map could be.

Anyway I hope they adress that in the future and make it better some how! I wouldn't mind walking for 10 minutes to get somewhere far but more than that is a bit much IMO

Keep up the great work the game look beautifull! I'm very happy about it!

(Edit): Not advocating for fast travel teleporting style but more of a balancing of travalling times. In a manner that gives the atmosphere long travelling times anable like very well point out by @Kralith , without being to extreme to the point it becomes anoying that's all

@Kralith said in Travelling is "complicated" to be mild:

There are also another big points why these fast travel is not good for such a game:

• PVE: very fast travel options lead to less player interactivity, its a bit like in real world, where you take a seat to your car in your garage, drive to your work/supermarket/cinema where you just place your car into the underground car park, take the elevator and vice versa at the evening if you want to go back home.

• PVE: just teleporting to the POIs lead to not to look to left and right, but to be able to tell everyone after 2 weeks of the game "I am done with the game, because i played it through."

• PVP: no preparation time for defenders, because the offender just can jump to your place and fight you down.

We are in a big open world, where it matters, what you want to do and how your plan your travels. It would take much atmosphere out of the game, if we just be able to jump from A to B on the other side of the map.

@r6G4596Y7G9AwD0TzJTxFSZx hahaha Hey man at this point I'm not sure if you are a troll or just a hard person to deal with.

But assuming you have good intention behind you, please allow me to give you a sugestion that whould change the way you look at factured entirely. I'm not being mean nor I want to diss you. It's a humble sugestion from the bottom of my heart.

https://fracturedmmo.com/news/page/11/
Here you will open the main page of the game, more especificly on the oldest page of theAll news* TAB. Please read the journals. That will clarify a lot of the conception you have and don't have from the game.

Then in the videos tab if you're still interested, whatch the Q&A videos.

If you do that I GARANTEE you'll change your approach twards Fractured beacause you'll actually understand the project and it's current state wich is Alpha By the way.

E tem outra, se for esse preço muitos players não vão comprar pq parece cultura no BR não pagar pra jogar ou pagar pouco e isso vai afetar muito o numero de jogadores e a popularidade do jogo... A grande maioria dos MMOs começa comprando pra jogar e comforme a população do game vai caindo eles abrem free for all e aí volta a crescer... Vamos ver como vai ser!
E outra cara, vc tem 3 anos pra juntar 130 pilas kkkk ctz que não será um problema pra vc! é só guardar 3 reais por mês até lá =D

I´ve searched all I could about it but there´s this particular aspect of it that I feel has not been answered. this especyfic for Demons but aplies to the rest too!

When you die wether is pvp or pve it is said By @Prometheus "you loose everything", or in other words, you drop everething if you can´t get to your corpse before it gets looted by other players.

What is unclear to me and my question is:
Does your gear like Armor, sword, helmet. etc drops in full too everytime you get killed or is "everything" related to everything in your inventory/Backpack?

Could it be that you drop everything in your inventory BUT your gear is treated slyghtily diferent: you have a chance of losing some of your gear, lets say 15 to 20% on each item.
In that cenario maybe you drop your sword, maybe a chest plate, maybe both, or even maybe with some luck no gear is lost only the inventory/Backpack content.

I ask becouse usually in an MMO, end game gear can be quite expensive or hard to come by. I´ve played other mmo´s with lootable PvP and for me and many other players this is one of the coolest features in Fractured.
But from that experience I found that droping all your gear on death may not be Ideal and it hurts the gameplay. The harder it is to acquire a good powerfull gear set the more this becomes true.

Enchantment/Blessing
Another feture that could be used to help in this is the enchentment/blessing of an item, something like a Divine quest, preferably a hard one that would either grant an one kill protection imunity to an item or just decrease the chance of dropping it on death, but it gets consumed in the next death.
After that you could regain that "Blessing" by re-doing the quest and it could be a diferent one this time for variation/anti-grinding pourposes.

I know it means more content and more work for our dev team but it is a very interesting feature to be taken under consideration even if for post realease updates!

The killed one should be afraid of dying and losing hight end gear and the killer should have the estimulus and expectation of the valuable loot, but all in a balance.
I´ll leave a poll here to see what the comunity feel about it!

Hope @Specter or @Prometheus or any dev could speak on this! =D

@Whisper said in Enchanting table Guide - Basic Mechanics - How to:

I feel like the game needs the RNG a little bit. Once you got the skills and knowledge for killing a certain creature there is little to no other reason to ever touch it again. If we are allowed to choose among the choices we get then no one would ever touch the majority of creatures in the game. They would get their skills/knowledge and then farm only the very best area and pick the perfect enchant every time.

The way the system works now it would be wise to get a wide assortment of items so you can mix and match as needed. People from certain areas might even trade with people across the map for regents, and trade with people from other planets and so on. It promotes exploring the world, and trading I count that as a huge win in my book.

This effect you are talking about of estimulating people to gather reagents hunting does not depend on RNG.

Like @Roccandil put perfectly:

@Roccandil said in Enchanting table Guide - Basic Mechanics - How to:

We'll still figure out the best recipes that remove the most RNG, and farm only those ingredients. All the RNG does is increase repetition and frustration, and waste players' time.

For me, that's a huge loss.

The enchanting system looks so good I don't think it needs to rely on RNG to provide an illusion of depth and complexity. It really is complex.

As long as there is no repairing gear mechanic you will have to recreate your set from time to time and that on itself will cause people to be constantly hunting the mobs that drop the reagents they need which will be many!!!

Hi Guys! Pedro From Brazil here and i´m really hyped for this game and glad I found it!

My first MMORPG was Tibia =D most of you probably know it some might have played it! I´d like to talk about two Reasons why Fractured made me believe in MMORPG again and how that relates to Tibia

1. The lootable PvP on the Deamon world. That can be awesome! In Tibia if you died, you would loose your loot, maybe some of your equipment and experience(level) and Skill (attack power) At the time i didn´t really like that and I can vividly remember the adrenalin rush, the despairing and terrifying experience of beeing Atacked and chased by a PK (player killer) that would be marked with a skull by his name. Beeng a PK was also thrilling beacause you could not logoff for 15 minutes you could not enter safezones and anybody who atacked you could enter safe zones or logoff easely.

Nowadays I really miss that because tha game was so much more intense and real due to that! You would swet, cry, rage, or reaaally laugh at that! Now if you die you just wait for respawn... it´s just not the same

1. is THE GRIND.... ohhh how bad that is for a game and tibia was full of it like many games... whenever you have to keep killing the same lame monsters, or attacking a dummy for hours on end to lvl up your exp or attack/ defence or to simply get money, that game becomes a job you don´t get paid for! I want to play! To have fun and most importantly: ENJOY!!! Doing the same over and over for hours on just to get to some point where you can actually enjoy an item, achievment, or a status is what killed a lot of games to me! I really hope Fractured can do it diferently!

I believe in this game´s concepts and potential! The only bad thing about it is that it will take 3 years for us to fully enjoy it hahaha

Nice to meet you all and let´s keep in touch! It´s amazing to see people already planning guilds and towns in a game that is 3 years from happening!!! that is so cool, I wanna be part of it!

@specter Wow! Thanks for responding so fast!! Aewsome! xD

Well that is clarifying! If I understood corectly that means that the quality of the gear is of small variety and doesn´t really influence the competitive perfomance of PvP that much, and good competitive gear is easy to come by. Is that correct?

I used to think that the crafiting of the game would produce among many things, these beter tier, rare, beter performing gear items, but appearently not

I wonder then what would the rare resources combined with crafting produce?(abilities maybe?) And what would make raids to collect resources you wont find in tartaros, worth it? To gain beter competitivness edge that is, I mean besides geting resourses for buildings etc

I´ll keep searchinf the forum for that but I´d really apriciate if someone could shine some light on that! =D

@Eurav Thanks for your reply! =D

@PeachMcD Hey man Great to know that! made my day! =D

Hey Sky! Welcome!

I've been following Fractured for over 1 year now. Back then it was just a promising concept. What I've witnessed of the Studio and the Devs is:

They are a small italian team, they are active on the forums, they put out roadmaps and do their best to stick to it. They have a sober aproach on what is possible and are responsible in getting to the roadmap milestones.

There's been a few delays and that normal for any development but they've aways been transparent about what was going on and what was wrong!

Very good in my opinion. I was an early pratreon and I'm very happy on what has already been delivered.

If you are considering to buy a founder pack or something like this I strongly advise you to go to the main page and read the articles on the news tab in chronologic order. Then watch the Q&A videos on the tab videos. I Garantee you'll have a good idea of what to expect!
https://fracturedmmo.com/news/page/11/

Found this fro @Prometheus on a different topic:

The item system of Fractured strongly empathizes equipment replaceability, so the average armor or weapon will be made of common materials and it will be easy for a player to craft a whole new set if he loses his own - or to buy it from another player, of course. The geographic distribution of resources will play a big role in this - a material might be common in a region of Tartaros but "rare" for you because you live on Syndesia and hell there are really a few merchants who dare to go THERE to trade or gather - and if they do bring back some, they sell it at 20 times the price it's found at the local market. That being said, there will be bosses, rare resources and rare items, but they are not the core of progression in Fractured. You aim will be to learn as many things as you can so you can vary your build as much as possible, and to have a steady supply of materials (not only for crafting - food as well!) for your everyday life. I'll be bold and say Fractured's progression is really something different from anything you've seen so far :slight_smile:

As for "levels", there are no levels in Fractured, so the right questions could be "how long will it take me to learn all the abilities and spells and proficiencies against different families of creatures". The answer is: hundreds and hundreds of hours, but that's a misleading answer, since to collect all of that is your personal choice as your character will be already competitive on day one.

I´m beggining to understand it better! The "problem is that Fractured is so revolutionary in some basic premisses that as an old mmo player it is dificult to imagine some situations hahaha!

@Prometheus Don´t loose morale!! We belive in you and support you! You guys made me dream about a reeeally cool game like i havn´t seen in quite a while. Obstacles may come you just got to find a way around it! no matter how big and intimidating it may be, there´s aways a way!

Keep up the hard work!

@maze Hey man Thank you for the great work on the spreadsheet! Prime stuff!

As for the devs, I believe they are too busy building the game to better explain stuff at this point, so It's still a bit early for that!

Hi!

So i bought the patron pledge pack and have a couple of questions i havn´t found answered in the forum.

1. In the description of the patron pledge features it says in one of them:
   "Reserve unique character name"
   I interpreted it as: I get to choose a character name now and it will be reserved or taken to me when the game in launched.

Did I understand it corectly? If not what does that mean?

1. If I understood it corectly, How can I reserve the name? When will this be available? Souldn´t it be already available? I´ve already created a demonic character but that was before the purchase.

Thanks! Love this community!

@Shivashanti What I'm trying to say is, that there are usually 4 tiers of enemies and here is how:

Harmless
Easy
Normal
Dificult
Boss

as you move up the dificulty level is should be more scarce to find. The problem is that mobs like the enforcer and wisps (given their stats) are dificult mobs that you can find in numbers matching the normal ones.

In Heartwood for exemple you commonly find 4-5 sproutlings 2-3 Wisps and an Antree. in this group the antree should be the one hard one and the wisps the 3 normal ones but their damage and hitpoints make them hard ones as well.

A tank can hardly take 3 wisps at a time letalone the other ones together attacking him. For me that doesn't feel right

@Darian What an unnecessary douchy comment man... Genobee´s concearn is a valid one! There are many ways to give your opinion without beeing rude. Maybe the dificulty due to mouse movement is a nice feature to make Fractured a more competitive game prone to favouring the better skilled player! I actually agree with you =D
