What is Enchanting?
First of Ultimate Guide to Enchanting in Ashes of Creation. What is Enchanting? Enchanting is a method that can be done by all players and its benefits is used to enhance their gear and increase their stats further. The materials used for enchanting are enchanting scrolls.

How Enchanting Works
Next in Ultimate Guide to Enchanting in Ashes of Creation, How Enchanting Works? Enchanting can be considered as a high-risk high-reward type of gamble. Two scenarios could happen when an enchantment fails. The first one is that the enchantment level would be resettled back to zero (low stages of enchantment), and the other scene is where the gear will be destroyed (higher stages of enchantment).
Now let’s talk about the rewards. The more you enchant your gear, The more the stats for that gear will be increased. At a higher level of enhancement, it gives additional bonus stats. Thus, Will you take the risk?
Enchantment Types
There are two types of Enchantment. Horizontal Enchantment and Vertical Enchantment. The vertical enchantment is not yet available in-game and will be added in a future update. Thus, Let`s differentiate the two.
Vertical Enchantments
Vertical Enchantments provide direct power enhancement like increased damage, defense, or other power stats for a gear. Each attempt enchantment adds +1 to a gear you are enchanting. However, as the level of enchanting increase. The success rate decreases. Failure to enchant will reset the enchantment level or worst case scenario, the gear would be destroyed.
Here is an example of an enchanted gear. As you can see the bow has an increased attack speed, strength, and penetration. Proving that enchantment will make you more powerful ever than before.
Horizontal Enchantments
As I have said earlier, this type is not currently in-game and will be added in a future update. This enchantment does not increase the base stats such as strength, speed, etc. but makes your gear more useful in specific situations.
For example, You wanted to deal a certain type of damage to an enemy who is vulnerable to that. Thus, Horizontal Enchantment is the way to go. Also, This type of enchanting won’t have risks such as gear destruction, but it may take some time and effort.

Enchantment Myths
Some are spreading various Myths that make your enchanting more successful, with fewer materials, and other tricks that are found to be misleading and not real. As a player of various MMORPGs, that have a similar type of enchanting system. You should not believe in myths and I conclude that Enchanting is more of an RNG based instead of a ritual type or some say a ceremony for better enchanting. That ideology for players is not beneficial since it will deter you from wasting materials that could be used to a proper way of strengthening your character. Please do not believe these Myths.
