Shattered Kingdoms

Sounds reasonable. Thanks!

Hi, Dulrik, what determines how many enchantments an item can hold before the risk of fading/exploding becomes really high? Material and quality?

That am secrat.

I tried it on an item with no enchantments (cute little dolly) and I got that message probably 3-4 times anyway.

Then it's obviously about to fade or blow up. D's code is flawless! Right...D???

There's no accounting for pure bad luck. That's why I said "probably". As in, there is a high probability, but not guaranteed.

The "Item is maxed out" thing makes sense to me, and if practice agreed with that, I'd live with it. However, I hit the string of "nothing happened" on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth endowment. I can reliably hit 4-5 endowments before fading and blowing up, but in between each endowment I am still blowing a quarter of my mana pool on "Nothing happened' with the mana sink progressively getting more and more with each added enchant. It's not like it consistently blows up after 5-6 "Nothings" for me, otherwise I would just take it as a hint as you say it should be.

tl;dr: I hit "Nothing happened" message rather consistently no matter what stage in the enchanting process I am. It just gets progressive worse as I add more enchantments.

Hmmm. Well it's not impossible that you are correct. But my primary goal was to add customizability, not reduce the grind. Reducing grind was more of a side affect, which I think has still been successful when compared to the old system.

Oh. I was under the impression you wanted to lessen the grind too. Oh well, the change is still a good one as far as customization goes. Not sure how the reduced saves will play out, but it'll reveal itself eventually. Thanks, D.

Yeah, the nothing seemed to happen percentage definitely was increased during the enchant changes. By a lot. Also, doesn't that still cause item level to increase without actually providing any benefit?
