Enchantment forge question
#1
This might be obvious, but I have a tower shield with 90% weight reduction on it. I'd like to add AC to it with the enchantment forge. But if I add +1 now and want to make it +2 later, will I be able to upgrade the enchantment or will I need to remove the +1 and add +2? Will removing the +1 AC from it also remove the weight reduction?

I usually like to wait until I can afford to do the +2 at once. It should not remove it as you are not adjusting the weight reduction.

If you don't add extra enhancements on it...ie...keep it to the weight reduction and +1....when the time comes you can just place +2 onto it without removing the the +1 first.

If an item has 3 enhancements, then one has to be removed before an upgrade can be done.

You are given a choice of which properties you wish to remove, so you just pick the one you want to remove, the rest will stay on the shield.

A tip....please make sure you read all the forge tells you...it could stop you making something you won't be able to use until a few levels later.

It should also let you know if you are going to lose a level enchanting the item so you can wait if you don't wish to lose the level.

Oh... so I really wouldn't be upgrading, I'd just be adding a 3rd enchant that would cause the +1 to be ignored? Good to know.

Hahaha... I've done that once already and learned my lesson :) It was with my weapon master's main weapon too Blush Luckily I only had to get another 2k xp to use it again.

If you only have the weight reduction, you can add the +1. When it comes time to upgrade the +2 will replace the +1.

If you have weight reduction, +1, and SR. You would have to remove one of the 3 to upgrade it to +2.

Yep. That is why if possible always leave the third slot open, less chance of mistakes :)

This offer still stands if anyone with the time and desire would like to see this changed.
