Enchanting
Enchanting and Gems
Gems add permanent statistics to compatible equipment. This page explains which gem belongs on which item, the current limits and what happens on success or failure. For recipes, see Merging gems. To recover embedded gems, see Gem Disassembly.
How an upgrade works
- Put both the gem and the equipment in your backpack.
- Use the gem on the equipment.
- The first level of a gem family is guaranteed.
- Further attempts have a success chance. The next chance and current progress are shown by the client after an attempt.
- On success, the family gains one level and the used gem's value is added.
- On failure, the used gem is lost and that family's level drops by 1. The stat granted by its last successful gem is removed.
The ordinary chance progression is 95% for +1→+2, 90% for +2→+3, 85% for +3→+4 and then 5 percentage points less per level. Vocation-only extensions use their own chances; rely on the next-chance message shown by the client before continuing at high levels.
Protection Gem
Protection Gem prevents one tier drop.
- If you carry a Protection Gem, the system automatically places protection before a regular gem attempt.
- A successful attempt keeps the protection for later.
- A failed attempt consumes the protection instead of lowering the gem-family level.
- Only one protection can be active on an item at a time.
Protection Gems can also be crafted for 500 Golden Tokens.
Gem families
The value in the Available values column is the amount added by one gem. Different ranks can be mixed on the same item; each successful gem adds its own value.

 Paladin Vocation Gem |
Assigns the item to Paladin and unlocks Paladin limits. |
 Knight Vocation Gem |
Assigns the item to Knight and unlocks Knight limits. |
 Vocation Change Scroll |

Families not listed in this table keep their base cap. Higher caps do not guarantee success; the special extension chances become much lower near the maximum.

Common problems
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Nothing happens when using a gem | Move the target out of the equipment slot and into a backpack. Check the compatible equipment column above. |
| The item will not accept another gem | The family may have reached its base cap. A matching Vocation Gem is required only when that family has an extended cap. |
| Another vocation cannot move the item | The item has been assigned by a Vocation Gem. Only its assigned vocation can handle it. |
| You want the gems back | Use an Advanced Disenchant Crystal while both items are in your backpack. |
