The way it works it you can't get a different enchantment until something has been enchanted. Best way is to check everything you have until you have something on that item you want permanently. It does take a bit of extra time to check everything, but worth it to know any potential ability to get something you want on something else when you don't like what's currently being offered on the item you want to enchant. It can cost extra prismatic shards if you're unlucky, but RNG is a pain to us all.

It isn't that much of a pain when tools like Stardew Predictor[mouseypounds.github.io] exist, a lot of things that appear random are only semi-random and can be predicted in this game.

so enchanting is basically like minecraft enchanting.

Where you actually NEED to enchant one in order to change what you can get for it.

From what I've seen, the enchantments you get are already predetermined at the start of the day. So if you go to enchant something at the beginning of one day and it isn't what you like, reset and try again the next day to see if it's better. This'll save you on Prismatic Shards.

That and the previous enchantment it seems.

For example my axe has Powerful now, according to Stardew Predictor if I re-enchant it it'll get Swift instead and then back to Powerful with a third enchantment. If I enchant something else before though I can get Shaving (which I find better) instead of getting back to Powerful.

Yes it is already predetermined for that specific day. I tried to reload many times to see if the outcome changes but it doesn't so you have to wait for the next day for a different outcome.

BTW it took me 30+ shards to get vampiric without save-scumming. I guess it is a rare enchantment but the activation of the effect is very low so it's best to stick with food/potion than rely on it.

Yeah, I thought Vampiric would be a small bit of life per hit but little did I know...

I'ma keep it for the time being and then once I get my Infinity Blade I'll re-enchant it with something like Crusader.
