Notes[]
- The enchantments can be performed on either a blank weapon or an already enchanted weapon.
- A maximum of three enchantments may be placed on a weapon that is being crafted. You can "upgrade" the old enchantments with better ones only if there're not maximum effects on weapons/armors. Once there are three(four in MOTB) you can not change it. This means you can upgrade certain unique weapons. The new ones still retain the old item's description, though you can change the name.
- In MotB, Epic level casters can add a fourth enchantment to a weapon.
- Certain item base properties are considered enchantments. For example, Darksteel, Mithral and Adamantine place effects (+1 electrical damage, 40% weight reduction and +2 magical damage respectively), on the base weapon that take up an enchantment "slot". Cold Iron and Alchemical silver, however, do not place any enchantments and do not take up a slot.
- This page does not note whether any enchantments are exclusive (e.g., holy/unholy).
- Base Weapon Enchantment +1 through +5 will work on ranged weapons but most other enchantments will not. Note: other than keen, most effects** can be put on ranged weapons - for example, Acid or Holy weapon on bow (make sure it shows the damage and visual effects).
** Vampiric regeneration is an an example of an enchantment that will not work on ranged weapons.
