Talk:Of Enchanting

From Guild Wars Wiki

With regards to duration lengthening:

1. Guildwars.com states that, "Enchantments, Hexes, Conditions, Shouts, and Chants have no cap on how long they can last. Consequently, anything that extends these effects will stack."
2. This article states that, "Multiple effects that increase enchantment duration can only stack to +50% in total."

Which statement is correct?   Frostty1 06:09, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Umm, both? There's no error in logic here, both can be true. Enchantments have no cap on how long they can last (fair enough). Anything that extends the enchantments will stack (again, fine). Multiple duration stacking effects can only stack to +50%. Thats fine too, its just saying there's no cap on the raw amount of time, but stacking up say Extend Enchantments (100%), Blessed Water (environment effect in Kurzick, 20%), and an enchanting staff (20%) will only result in the 100% from Extend Enchantments.

You can have one effect that goes past the cap, but you can't stack multiple effects as you will only hit 50% or the highest % of your enchant duration booster, whichever is higher. Feragore 15:38, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I say that statement be taken out of the article. On the stack page it doesn't list enchantment durations. --JonTheMon 15:45, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Enchantment duration cap != Enchantment duration modifier cap. ~Shard 02:07, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Effects

My question about the Enchanting: Does it affect the enchantments that you cast, enchantments that are cast on you, or enchantments both that you cast and are cast on you?--JupiterStarWarrior 05:45, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

It affects any enchantments you cast, whether they be on you, or on someone else, but does not affect enchantments other people cast upon you. Magua 09:22, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rounding?

How does GW round off enchantment bonuses to the nearest second? Simple truncation? always rounds up?Driftwood 08:52, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd say that Guild Wars only rounds up fractional durations above 0.6 seconds; according to my math, my SoA should be lasting 11.508 seconds, but it's only lasting 11 (7 (base duration) *1.37 (Blessed Aura at 16 DF) *1.2 (Enchanting mod)). Go figure. is for Raine, etc. 19:41, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I take that back; GW always seems to round up (1.2 second Holy Haste rounded up to 2 seconds). is for Raine, etc. 01:51, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

On an unrelated note, the of Enchanting mod doesn't seem to activate until after a weapon swap. is for Raine, etc. 01:55, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Except it does... when it feels like it? Swapping weapons increases an 11-second SoA to 12 seconds under under Aura of Faith; maybe it doesn't count as 20% until a swap? idk, it doesn't really make sense. is for Raine, etc. 02:14, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Also, a 1-second enchantment lasts 0 under Air of Disenchantment, which means that it doesn't always round up. Which, again, doesn't make sense. is for Raine, etc. 02:14, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] pls2halp

where can i get a staff wrapping with +20%? i need it soon --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:72.81.178.75 (talk).

From anywhere. They drop all the time. ~Shard 02:01, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Of Enchanting For Wand & Focus Set

If you use a Wand and Focus item set is there any way to get enchantments to last longer. Wonder why there is no wand wrapping of enchanting? RhapsodyMoon 09:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Simple answer, switch to a "caster sword" (or axe, or spear), cast the enchantment, and swap back. There simply isn't one, I'm not sure why anet didn't include one, but they didn't. 64.178.139.239 02:55, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

There is a rare offhand that gives +10% to enchanting. There might also be a quest rod/wand that gives enchanting, but the best and easiest thing to do is to get a martial weapon. ~Shard 01:59, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

What/where is this offhand? I want one pls. Is it a green? is for Raine, etc. 02:15, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

It was a collector item, but I believe all existing ones were changed to a different mod. 24.197.253.243 02:40, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
