Artificing

Artificing allows players to add custom enchantments to their armor and weapons that add a boost to damage and healing. The runic tilesets used for the enchantments need to be designed and carefully tuned to the individual player's playstyle.

How it Works
→ Main Page: Artificing Theory

Every enchantment specifies a sequence of actions the player has to do to trigger it, giving a short boost to damage and healing with strength and duration depending on how close together the individual runes were triggered and how many runes are in that sequence. The page on artificing theory goes into more detail on this.

A Runesight Potion can be used to see what runes are activated during combat. The runes triggered will appear above the player's head, and can be seen by other players or with a Raven's View camera.

Tilesets
Tiles with artificing runes on it are the building blocks of tilesets.

The individual rune tiles are crafted with various ores at the cauldron in the player house, similar to potions.

Three to five rune tiles can be put together to create tilesets, which can be used to enchant armor and weapons. Rune tiles are put together into tilesets at the artificing station in the player's basement.
