Any special enchanting in Aion?

[Deryck]

Like Lineage 2 had Armor/Weapon enchants, and World of Warcraft has Stat increasing enchants, will Aion have any type of cool and neat enchants?

[Shade]

We don't know. It'd be cool though... I expect there may be armour/weapon enchants... They seem to be quite popular in MMO's now.

[Mark]

Don't know. Sounds cool to me though. Just another way to customize everything.

[SilverNight]

I would imagine so, enchanting's pretty much everywhere in MMO's nowadys.. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be included in Aion, it's very useful and nice. Though I do find sometimes I think it's overdone and people seem to like to charge too much to do it. >.>

[TwilightAngel]

Not trying to be mean but why do ppl ask questions like this.....nothing ever been said about this so why ask it. Anyways most likly they will In almost all the MMO out there you can upgrade weps and armor or enchant them

Well I seen in some games where serten items you must unlock them befor you can add any effects to them, Well thats how the some of the relic weps are going to be in RFO

I would assume that this would be included. Perhaps your divine power is used with this as it is all magical and whatnot. The divine power explanation did say about use in crafting if enchanting can be classed as crafting...suppose it can.

I think a stat boosting trade will be included whether it is actually enchanting we will have to see.

My money is on it being enchanting though...or a process of the same idea with a different name.

[DoveSong]

it's sort of a tired idea....

I am all for as much customization as possible, but I'd rather see a new twist than the same old same old. Like perhaps a weapon that "conforms" to your playstyle:

For insatnce; if you are a ranger that uses a certain skill like (lets just make one up) "flaming arrow" alot...your weapon learns this and grows to into an "Ember Bow" which does additional fire damage....

Also it's more interesting way of making weapons instead of : buy enchant> stick enchant into slot

Many of you might recall the matira system in FF7? That was a cool system for weapon progression in my opinon.

[Lojik]

tbh i would be very disappointed if Aion adopts the standard lets make out weapons +5 and glow slightly route. I would much prefer a new and interesting way to customize your weapons and gear for your personal use. the skill way is kinda cool and has been adopted on games some games. Either way i'm not fussed but would like to see NCsoft making something new instead of doing what is commonly done.

[Cynthe]

Though I don't mind this at all and I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy it, it wouldn't make a difference to me personally if they did have enchants or not. TwilightAngel, I think the question was more: "Do you think they will have enchants..", And if it's not, then there's no way anyone would know this until more info about weapon customization comes out. (?)

I was basically asking what people would like to see aion use not asking if they released any information. I guess though you have some sort of grudge against me and seem to seek out any and every little question and comment i make. I guess next time I'll refrain from posting a topic because you think the questions I ask the community are stupid.

*points at other cheek*

*turns it*

I'd certainly be interested in anything you want to disscuss Deryk

That idea is awesome, but it'll promote farming Say you want a specific type of weapon for a new play style, you'll have to grind to get that customized weapon transformation I like the idea though, I think it could work well if they could think of a way around the possible grind requirement...

Ignore him, the thread bought up some good conversation

[MeinWeiner]

ACKL! run! Hide your rakes the farmers are coming!!!!!!!

make it so once the bonus is added, the weapon is not sellable as it is attuned to YOU. it can be sold, but the bonus is removed once it changes hands.

Make it a latent thing, not a "kill this many" or "use this skill this much" thing (sort of like in fable how many things were latent), and of course no need to make it take forever either....an hour or two, you can do it as you level...when you want to change...just hit the town and have the weapon "cleansed"...then you can redo it with a new bonus?

I figured it would, I am kind of interested as to see what system they plan to use or if they are working on a new system. I don't mind using armor/weapon enchants, nor do I mind the WoW system of enchanting either, both are pretty solid. Only thing I didn't like about the enchants is, its all luck. In order to have a highly enchanted item you need 2 things, money and luck which unfortunately luck is hard to come by for me as I am sure it is with other people too
