When I was xull I spent more then 2 hours enchanting spears for Algon. That's just spears. The end result was very very good, he had something like +12 on a spear, but we were at it for hours. Blowing up spears over and over and over.

I actually have to cast doubt on you two hour time limit.

If you want something like +12 on a weapon, yeah, it's going to take forever. Most people are amazed if you give them a +8 weapon.

If you want to be cheater, though, you do what I do: You buy 500 iron lances from the Empire newbie shop, then you enchant each of them once, then again, then again, until you have about 30 lances that have survived the week long enchant spree, and all 30 have about +9. Then, you take the 30 and you enchant them all once again, and you have 7 that have +10. Then you do it again, and you get three with +11. Then you do it again and you get a +12.

You do this process four times, and then you take the four +12's and you possibly get lucky with the +13 or +14.
(Although calling it luck is a joke). And then ask a half-elf, sprite, or deep-elf without ironguard to tank it when you charge them and see how much you do ;).

Or if you don't want to go insane keeping track of 500 spears, you can just enchant two at a time and get the same end result.

There just needs to be a smaller limit on the number of enchants any single item can take. The fact can get it to that high is insane to begin with.

You don't need 30 will to be fairly safe against a casted charm, you only need like 22-24 and that's if you have horrible wisdom. That means you need to get 5-6 items, which can be achieved without even having anyone enchant.

It's not my fault you are a masochist.

I'm also not convinced that a weapon that has 12 enchantments on it is much better than one with eight on it.

If it's a ten percent difference..that's massive. I bet it's more than 10%.

When I played Shaamir, even the difference between the +6/+6 and +8/+8 on his spear was Huge. As it is, I like enchant armor how it is now. Its worth the effort if you put in the time, if you change that and make it easier in anyway its going to be a straight nerf to all the spellcaster classes.

There should be limits because right now pk is so unbalanced right now that newbs will always die to a vet. Heck, unless someone is obsessed with gear, most vets will always die to the OCD freak. Enchant armor/wpn is broken.
