129 | =head3 How can I Prepare/Improve/Enchant Weapons? |
|
|
130 | |
|
|
131 | This is done in two steps: first you have to I<prepare> your weapon |
|
|
132 | for the desired number of enchantments, then you apply the enchanments |
|
|
133 | (weapons remember how many times they can be enchanted further). |
|
|
134 | |
|
|
135 | To prepare a weapon, wield it and L<mark> (e.g. using the popup menu in |
|
|
136 | the inventory) some diamonds, as a sacrifice, then read the I<Prepare |
|
|
137 | Weapon> scroll. The square root of the total number of diamonds sacrificed |
|
|
138 | this way determines the number of enchantments the weapon accepts: one |
|
|
139 | diamond for one enchanment, nine diamonds for three enchantments, 100 |
|
|
140 | diamonds for ten enchantments and so on. |
|
|
141 | |
|
|
142 | After that, you can apply improvement and enchantnment scrolls: |

|
|
145 | |
|
|
146 | =item Improve Damage |
|
|
147 | |
|
|
148 | Each scroll read will increase the damage by five points, and likewise the |
|
|
149 | weight by five kilograms. |
|
|
150 | |
|
|
151 | =item Lower Weight |
|
|
152 | |
|
|
153 | This "improves" the weight of your weapon: each scroll reduces the weight |
|
|
154 | by one fifth (20%). It will not, however, create weightless weapons. |
|
|
155 | |
|
|
156 | =item Enchant Weapon |
|
|
157 | |
|
|
158 | Each scroll read increases the magic by one point. |
|
|
159 | |
|
|
160 | =item Improve Stat |
|
|
161 | |
|
|
162 | This scroll improves one of the basic stat improvements (Strength, |
|
|
163 | Dexterity and so on). For this it needs a further sacrifice in form of |
|
|
164 | stat potions. The stat potions must be of the same type and will determine |
|
|
165 | which stat gets improved. |
|
|
166 | |
|
|
167 | The number of stat potions you need to improve it is twice the number of |
|
|
168 | stat points the weapon currently gives, plus one (the minimum is two stat |
|
|
169 | potions, however). That is, a weapon which gives no stat bonus needs two |
|
|
170 | (C<0 × 2 + 1 = 1> which is less than two, so two) stat potion, one that |
|
|
171 | already gives I<Str +2> and I<Int +1> will need seven (C<3 × 2 + 1>) stat |
|
|
172 | potions. Negative stats are summed normally, so I<Str +4> and I<Int -2> |
|
|
173 | will result in needing five stat potions only (C<2 × 2 + 1>). |
|
|
174 | |
|
|
175 | =back |
|
|
176 | |
|
|
177 | Keep in mind, however, that your character can only handle a limited |
|
|
178 | number of weapon improvements, see the L<skills> command. Item power will |
|
|
179 | also increase. |
|
|

|
|
181 | =head3 How can I enchant Armour? |
|
|
182 | |
|
|
183 | Enchanting armour is easy: each time you read an I<Enchant Armour> scroll, |
|
|
184 | the magic value will be increased by one, the speed, armour (physical |
|
|
185 | resistance) and weight are increased by some amount, as well as the item |
|
|
186 | power. |
|
|
187 | |
|
|
188 | =head3 What is this item power business? |
|
|
189 | |
|
|
190 | In general, the more interesting/powerful items have higher item power |
|
|
191 | values. Your character can handle only handle only a limited amount of power - for each overall level |
|
|
192 | you can handle C<1.25> item power points, so if you are level 16 you can handle a total of 20 item power points |
|
|
193 | (see the L<skills> command for your current limit and remaining item power points). |
|
|
194 | |
|
|
195 | All the equipment you wear adds to this limit, so if you wield a weapon of |
|
|
196 | item power 30 plus two rings of item power 14 each you will need 58 item |
|
|
197 | power (and a level of 47). |
