Enchanting 101: The need to knows

Mentalmelon

Brilliant guide, thank you for your time and effort into this!

Apparently this guide is outdated and there is no such feature as double enchanting. Wasted my 4 Grain Solvents on some useless quest item to make it a purple item and then waste half an hour on Google to find out on Reddit that double enchanting was a bug and is fixed now!

Good game. -.-

@JadeDarkstep‌ I haven't removed it yet as posted earlier in this thread as I have not fully tested legendary equipment. Yes double enchantment seems to have been only available to those in the PTS server and I have not found any confirmation one way or another. That is the only part of the guide that is unconfirmed.

I also have a disclaimer posted under the first sentence saying as far "as I have learned. ....."

It is mentioned in this thread. I keep finding these runes too. They're even voiced but seem to be leftovers from beta.

I wanted to add that I found Essence Runes - Jaedi and Lire. I think it is a glitch/mistake though because Jaedi = Kaderi (shield) and Lire = Taderi (Physical Harm).

Not only do these runes have identical features to existing runes but it does not say "Discovered" or "Unlocked" or whatever it says when you use a new rune for the first time. I only had 1 of each where I have 10-25 of all other essence runes which again leads me to believe it was some kind of glitch.

Although I have used Jaedi several times now, I still have it undiscovered (marked as ?) while a buddy of mine says he does have it discovered..

I'm VR6, but only at 24 Enchanting. I must be doing something wrong.

This is the only crafting that I would say has a "grind" to it. I use a trading kin partner. I send him sets 20 stones to make glyphs, he returns them and I decon for max enchanting XP. I do the same for him. We always do green and usually try to stick to blue. From level 30 and above the TAs just do not generate the enchanting XP to make it worth the time. Greens are ok, and blues x 20 will get you a level each round or pretty close to it.

I generally use which ever trapezoid and square (highest level possible) runes that I have the most of. Crafting in this manner the leveling goes pretty fast. If you are not in a good guild, PM me and I'll trade with you to help out.

Edit: In game toon is Tatt

I will be revising these charts shortly to reflect the new potency levels up to vr12. Been busy as of late.

Edit: Updated the Potency chart to reflect the changes in gear level and glyph name. As always, if there's any that are incorrect please let me know!

Thanks,

Atalle

Rune information
There are three types of runes gathered throughout the world. Each rune type has its own special property which when combined with the other two types of runes will create glyphs that can used to enchant weapons, armor and/or jewelry

Potency Runes (The Purple Square found in purplish blue shrines in the world)



Essence Runes (The Trapezoid shaped found in greenish yellow shrines around the world)



Aspect Runes (The Circular shaped found in reddish orange shrines around the world)

Ok well while this was helpful I still cant figure out how to get it started at all! when ever I try to use even the lowest level runes it says I need potency level one which makes no sense at all

You start with potency level one, does it say you need potency improvement one, because that's potency level two

Double enchanting does work on rings that have the Arcane enchantment allready on them when looted. I enchanted my two VR1 "Arcane reduce magicka use by 15" rings yesterday with add 64 max magicka. Can't say about necklaces, though.

Thanks for the excellent tutorial Atalle. However I have a question regarding the type of glyph. How do I specify the type? For example I would like to craft a stamina glyph to be used on a ring but I don't know how to specify the glyph is for jewelry.
