Enchantments

Enchantments are powerful upgrades for your Weapons & Equipment.

Acquirement Methods

Enchantments have a set chances to be applied to a weapon during the following scenarios. Note that some methods of obtainment are more effective/have higher probability for obtaining them.

• Any gear you find in chests or dropped by enemies have a small chance to be enchanted. (Except rings, neck and face slot gear, which cannot be enchanted.)
• Talking to Laplace and trading 3 enchanted items for a new random enchant on your equipped weapon. Note that all Enchants added within the Layer 2 update and forwards are not rollable, such as Stormbreaker.
• Talking to Klaris allows you to turn 5 Kyrsan Medallions into either a random equipment enchant (you can roll the same enchant twice in a row) or a random enchant stone.
• Using an Enchant Stone. (Found in L2, Galeswax and from Maestro's Lootpool.)
• Using the Deepshore Fossil to get a desired Enchantment Stone.
• Defeating a Star knight that only spawns during the Resonant Dawn event. (Only drops the Astral enchant stone)
• The Weird Trader has a chance to give you the Astral enchant stone.

Mechanics

Enchanted weapons/equipment have special mechanics compared to their regular counterparts.

Enchanted items cannot be dropped on death.

• You cannot 'stack' enchantments. I.E. if you obtain a helmet with Multiplicity while having boots with Multiplicity equipped, you can't equip the Multiplicity helmet.
• Equipping an enchanted item for the first time will Soulbound it to you. Soulbounded items cannot be dropped. However, they can still be unequipped, stored in your bank or sold to an antiquarian.
• Enchanted items can be passed down at the Hippocampal Pool at a cost of 60 Echoes per item.
• Enchanted items appear as light purple in your inventory.
• Legendary weapons cannot be enchanted. As a failsafe, any enchanted legendary weapons that exist will have their enchant removed upon loading.

Variants

There are two variants that enchantments come in:

• Blessing - They have an effect with little to no downsides.
• Curse - They have an effect along with a downside with the severity depending on the upside.

When unsheathed in The Depths, you will instantly lose 100 sanity (each time you equip it). Unless you have a huge amount of willpower, this will kill you no matter what.

Tips/Trivia

• A few enchants are based on other series and shows.
  • Elastic is a reference to Hisoka's Bungee Gum from Hunter x Hunter, hence why it was called Bungee Gum previously.
  • Nemesis' visuals and sound effects are based off the cursed status from Spiral Knights.
  • Bounce, Viscosity, Deferred and Stench are most likely a reference to glyphs and enchantments from Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
  • Stormbreaker is based mechanically on Thor from God of War and it's namesake is the mythical axe Stormbreaker wielded by Thor from Avengers: Infinity War.
  • The sound effect for the Displacement proc is taken from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Remote Bomb explosion.
  • Curse of The No Life King is a reference to the No Life King from Fantasy of Grimgar and Ash.

    

    Yayafino confirming the "Curse of The No Life King" is a reference from grimgar

    • Curse of the No Life King has the most individual changes of any thing in Deepwoken, and is made fun of within the community as being the most nerfed thing in the game.
• Enchanted equipment used to not be able to be smelted by Jarvis. When attempted, he would respond with: "Huh? What're you doing bringing something like that to me, go take that wicked thing somewhere else."
• Umbral Knight lost its curse in a shadow update on 26-27 December, 2021
  • Before that, it used to be: "On proc will summon the Umbral Knight behind your target and will copy your M1s." It was mostly untested, but common belief (said by Infernasu) is that if you didn't grip at least one person per day, you would be absorbed into the weapon.
  • When asked if he would consider adding it back, developer Arch_Mage dismissed the idea as it would cause too much lag, and still holds that sentiment to this day.
• Having a shield or parrying dagger equipped along with an enchant will transfer the visual effect of said enchant to the shield/dagger. Do note that it is purely cosmetic and does not affect the side weapon's capabilities.
  • Equipping an enchanted item as a sidearm will have its enchantment be overriden by your main weapon, including the lack of an enchantment itself.
• Providence of Storms, an enchant widely believed to be a removed enchant that combined Providence's Thorns and Obfuscation, was proven to be fake by Developer yayafino on January 1st, 2023 on DaboSenpai's stream.
• Ferocity has negative acceleration on its particles meaning they will follow your movement at 5x speed or higher.
• Nemesis causes enemies to react to its critical even without a hitbox.
• Obfuscation is incredibly useful when fighting block-heavy mobs like Immortal Guardians or Enforcers.
• Umbral Knight used to hit yourself when procced on an enemy with hyperarmor, this no longer occurs.
  • It was initially believed to be an intentional feature, but not even Arch_Mage was aware it happened and eventually it was removed.
• Astral previously required having met a Wishmaker to obtain it.
• Unbidden has weird PvE interactions. Humanoid mob attacks can be countered, while non-humanoid ones can't be. More testing will be done (As of 12/2/24) - Proof : https://youtu.be/MTHxAKa5cD0
• In Verse 1, it was possible to obtain a fourth enchant on the neck, face, or ring slot.
• Despite being a medium weapon with fist m1's Purple Cloud counts as a gun for procing enchants (chilling is tested others not)
