Little anvil next to weapon enchanments?

[commandokline]

What is the little anvil next to enchantment recipes? How to I increase that to do better enchantments? I couldn't find it in the wiki.

It's the "cost" in terms of how many enchantment points per item are used. At the top right you see the total number of enchantment points, and each enchantment you want to add to the item costs a few points. Enchantments cannot be removed. And enchantments of type "Quality" may only upgrade eachother, if enough free points are left on the item.

That makes sense, thank you.

Typically better enchantments have higher character level requirements. To some extent it's irrelevant, since the crafting materials won't likely be found until you reach those levels, but on the other hand you may very well find better quality weapons before you have the ability to upgrade weapons to an equivalent quality.

Holy balls dude, you have all the achievements.

Smells odd, though, with 129 achievements for Baldur's Gate all having exactly the same date and time and just five minutes after PoE achievements. Not even with offline playing that would be plausible.

AH, good catch, didn't see that haha.

He's one of the players, who have given up early. Watch this!

Then unlocked almost all achievements including the kickstarter backer achievement at exactly the same time on 27 Apr, 2016 @ 1:05pm. If at all, the kickstarter achievement would have unlocked before any other achievement. Five minutes later all achievements for Baldur's Gate 1 and the Siege of Dragonspear DLC.

And even before that a negative hater review for PoE:

I hate this. I don't have the patience for this outdated D&D $*!# - it's frustrating and joyless; a chore of stupidly hard micromanagement. What might have passed for fun once upon a time just doesn't hold up in terms of good game design. Color me shocked that people are still asking for this style of gaming, like they haven't tried modern games or didn't enjoy them.

I didn't try Baldur's Gate at all until very recently, but it was a hell of a lot better than this. Graphics don't excuse poor design. Graphics don't excuse your supposedly easiest setting from feeling impossible without rerolling over and over until you figure out which few builds are even viable. RPGs are supposed to encourage unique choices, not punish them.

I wish the devs would see my feedback, but I doubt they ever would, much less chance that they would care if they even did see it. This game is garbage in a post-Skyrim age. This game is garbage in a post Mass Effect age.

But it's good-looking garbage? Good-looking is generous. It's good-looking relative to what Baldur's Gate and company looked like decades ago, but not even by that much.

This game is for people who hate progress. This game is for people who either can't take criticism or just can't figure out how to address the criticisms that have been amassed.

I'm going to re-roll one last time, just to try and get my money's worth. I'm going to play, joylessly looking up a walkthrough, just so that I can get to the point where I don't feel outnumbered. Maybe I'll finally see more than the 6th map of the game.

Or maybe I'll just have to watch this on youtube to ever see the story. Somehow I doubt I'll ever give this genre another chance, though. This genre needs to die.
