Suggestion: Reroll or Target Enchants

[Keyboard Warrior]

Many enchantments are near useless on some classes, mystic in particular gets virtually no benefit from enchants like Precise which do not benefit their magic or durability. Having to go and refarm a weapon to try the enchant roulette again, particularly if it is from a quest or rare drop, is a pain in the backside and doesn't make for fun gameplay. Especially with the steep Crowns cost to get gear enchanted over and over and over at higher levels.

Most ARPGs or Hack-and-slash titles allow you to either "reroll" or target specific enchantments. Meaning you don't necessarily need to refarm the exact same item again, but they do have a cost involved that requires gameplay of some kind so it isn't just a freebie that lets you get exactly what you want for no effort.

Some ways to do this I've seen include "Disenchanting" items to receive essences or another currency, which can then be used to enchant an item again. I've seen it done to "reroll" the enchant on an existing item, or these currencies come in particular types which allow you to pick a specific enchantment.

As an example; Disenchanting Precise enchanted gear could give Precise Essence (Or some other name), then allowing you to specifically choose Precise on an item of your choice.

Or any enchanted item can be broken down into Essence, which then acts as the cost to try and enchant the same item again for a different result.

Either process may involve Crowns or monster materials, but ideally at a discount since you've already gone through the effort to collect all these enchanted items to disenchant and put towards the reroll or specific choice of enchantment. Without such a discount you'd almost be better off just refarming an unenchanted version of the item again.

It's something that I think would greatly benefit the game in the long run as people hit "endgame" loops and gear becomes incredibly expensive to enchant, only for the enchantment to be a total dud. It would work if this were a loot-a-thon ala Diablo or the like, but simply not enough items drop to ease the pain of an enchantment being a bust and a huge waste of crowns and monster parts.

Just my 2c on what might be my only serious complaint right now!

Just tossing this out there after reading the first few lines, you can re-roll your enchants (even on gear you pick up that already have an enchantment; anything that isn't inherently "Exotic" can be enchanted), and best I can tell the cost is the same whether you're enchanting something for the first time or re-rolling.

That being said, it's still a toss of the dice as to what you're going to get, and I'd be all for an option to target a specific enchantment (no more Manafont enchants on my Fighter gear, please!), even if it would have to be more expensive than the existing option.

Oh I didn't know you could reroll, any time I slot an enchanted item into the window it just says it can't do it.

You need the same material and crowns to reroll it, maybe that's why? Idk.

yeah, need both money and the shown material to (re)roll enchantments

though the boss items needing soul pearls is a bit of a pain due to how rare they are (mitigated slightly by them being sold by sally at lvl 15+ for about 3200 iirc, though that cost does add up the more you buy)
