Enchantments and masterwork

A trophy picks the enchantment on a piece you make and a gem picks its grade. Some enchantments can only be crafted, and the best smiths make masterwork.

When you make a weapon or a piece of armour, the window's First affix and Second affix rows let you add up to two enchantments. A trophy in your bag picks what the enchantment is and a gem picks how strong. No research, no luck: the right materials make it, and a crafted enchantment is the same as one found on loot. Only the enchantments that fit the piece are offered, and not every one comes in every grade.

Grade	Gem	Trophies	Profession level	Station rank
Minor	Agate	1	30	2
Lesser	Onyx	2	55	3
Greater	Diamond	3	80	4
Masterwork	Bloodstone	4	95	5

So a town's station sets only minor enchantments; the higher grades need a player city's station of that rank. Gems come from richer rock seams (see Chopping trees and breaking rock); trophies from kills and skinning (see Fishing and skinning).

Craft-only enchantments

Loot never carries these. Each needs the profession at 95 in any grade, its trophy, and the grade's gem and station rank (minor, lesser or greater only):

Enchantment	On	Trophy	Minor, lesser, greater
Beastbane	Weapon	Elephant Tusk	+10, 20, 30% damage to beasts
Gloombane	Weapon	Gloomfang Fang	the same, to gloomfangs
Werebane	Weapon	Werewolf Pelt	the same, to were-creatures
Serpentbane	Weapon	Serpent Scale	the same, to reptiles
Verminbane	Weapon	Scorpion Stinger	the same, to vermin and crawling things
Monsterbane	Weapon	Chimera Horn	the same, to chimeric monsters
Dragonbane	Weapon	Dragon Scale	the same, to dragons
Giantbane	Weapon	Titan Heartstone	the same, to giants and brutes
Gravebane	Weapon	Tarnished Locket	the same, to the undead and spirits
Demonbane	Weapon	Demon Horn	the same, to demons
Stonebane	Weapon	Golem Core	the same, to golems and constructs
Woodbane	Weapon	Ent Bark	the same, to walking plants and fungi
Seabane	Weapon	Kraken Beak	the same, to creatures of the sea
Siegebreaker	Weapon	Rhinoceros Horn	+25, 50, 75% damage to buildings and siege engines
of the Packmule	Armour, jewellery	Hippopotamus Tusk	+10, 20, 30% carrying capacity; at most +50% from all you wear
of Plenty	Armour, jewellery	Pine Amber	+10, 20, 30% chance of one more with each gathering swing; at most +50%
of the Pearl Diver	Armour, jewellery	Crab Claw	+25, 50, 100% breath under water; at most +200%

A Bane works only against wild creatures, never against a player or a creature a player commands or rides.

Masterwork

A masterwork enchantment is a greater one made with a Bloodstone and 4 trophies, at profession level 95 and a rank 5 station: only a player city's best. Against players it is exactly the greater grade. Against creatures and NPCs it is more: a masterwork weapon deals 15% more damage, and each masterwork piece of armour, shield or jewellery you wear takes 4% off their blows, at most 20%. It sells for twice a greater one. A craft-only enchantment has no masterwork grade.
