Deepwoken – All Enchantments and How to Unlock

Why swing a sword when you can swing a magic sword?

Any dime-store shmuck can run around swinging a sword at people, that’s nothing impressive. You know what’s really impressive? Swinging around a sword that sets things on fire, or steals people’s life, or calls down thunderbolts, or all sorts of cool stuff! If that sounds appealing to you, and I know it does, then here are all the Enchantments and how to unlock them in Deepwoken.

Deepwoken – All Enchantments and How to Unlock

Enchantments are special effects that can be applied to both weapons and equipment in Deepwoken. Enchanted items, besides being naturally heartier than the regular stuff, gain a variety of nifty perks from their particular Enchantments, from stat boosts to bonus damage.

Enchanted equipment (or just “Enchants” for short) can only be obtained as a random drop in a treasure chest. If you find an Enchant in a chest and pick it up, it’ll automatically be soulbound to you, preventing you from dropping it, though you can still sell it if you don’t want it. You can’t change or add Enchantments to a piece of equipment; you can only find pre-enchanted items in chests. The only other way to get Enchants is to trade three of them for a random one from Laplace at Greathive Aratel, though that kind of implies you’ve already found a few by chance.
