Scrollcrafting
Enchantment scrolls are created via scrollcrafting using a scroll, silver, and a variety of runes. Enchantment scrolls can be applied to a piece of gear to provide passive buffs/effects.

Notes
There are some important things to keep in mind before enchanting equipment:
- Only one kind of enchantment can be active per equipment piece. Adding a new enchantment of a different type will overwrite the previous enchantment.
- Overwriting an enchantment does not refund the previous enchantment scroll. It does however automatically disenchant the item before applying the new enchantment, which refunds some of the scroll ressources.
- The same enchantments do not stack over different equipment.
- Multiple scrolls of the same enchantment can be added to a single piece of equipment to increase its effect.
- Adding enchantments to gear will give you mind essence based on how many scrolls you add.
- See Skilling Efficiency for a table on gold to exp efficiency.
Enchanting
Enchanting allows you to use your enchantment scrolls to give your item new properties.
This process has a 100% success rate and cannot fail. Applying new scrolls with a different effect to an item with an existing enchantment overwrites the old one.
Not all enchantments can be applied to all equipment; enchantments exclusively related to farming, for example, can only be applied to a hoe. In addition, only a single type of enchantment can be applied to any piece of gear at any time; a helm's enchantment slots cannot have some attributed to reckless and others attributed to protection.
Different tiers of equipment have a different number of enchantment slots available; from bronze with only a single slot, to stygian with six. Exceedingly rare items, such as the moss maul, can hold up to eight enchantments. To see how many slots any given item has, check the Equipment page.
Augmenting
Augmenting allows players to increase the base stats of a piece of gear. This process cannot fail and on every action will increase the augment counter by one (two if critical augmentation happens). Once the counter is full, the item will upgrade by one level and reset and increase the next counter requirements.
Almost all items have no limit to the number of augmentations. However, the time of augmenting will progressively increase with each level of augmentation. After level five, it will start to require base copies of the item you are augmenting, progressively scaling every five levels there after.
Exceptions to the above include Dungeon Keys and Elite Scrolls, which cap at +20.
Exactly which stats are improved depends on the item. Augmenting bronze armor, for example, increases all defensive stats per augmentation level, while augmenting pickaxes increases their mining level bonus, and subsequently their mining speed. To see a full augmentation bonus list, check the equipment page.
Augmenting an item has a material cost. This is generally about 1% of the item's crafting cost, but it varies from item to item.
Augmenting critically starts at a static 10% chance, but can be increase with Enchantment Scrolls and Talents.
Researching
Researching is a new mechanic introduced in season 2.
Researching an item will produce dust on a successful action or scrap on an unsuccessful action at a base rate of 90% success.
These chances can be increase or decreased with Enchantment Scrolls or Talents capping at either 98% or 10% chance of success.
Researching has a chance of transforming items into a different item. Check the table below for more information. (This has replaced augmenting transformations, unless otherwise stated.)
