It may be my save. But is the Quartz Elemental supposed to respawn? I've slept two weeks with the New Sirocco time skip, seven days normally and only the ores and every other enemy that respawns.

@@barredok It’s a unique enemy so they don’t respawn

Funnily enough, you can undo enchantment itself but not its effects with enchantment mod. Guess it's just not implemented in the game.

right, I had to test something because of that. I tested Vampiric weapon (Bow) + poltergeist enchantment. This was an interesting test because it makes this bow so much more deadly. especially with skills The bows normal stats are 48dmg 18 impact. leaches blood at 0.1% of damage dealt After the enchantment of poltergeist, the bow only 28 damage but impact is the same at 18. However the menu tells you it always does 14 damage now. *It does not matter how weak you pull the bow to shoot or quickly you shoot it's always 14 damage.* This also changes the blood leach you get as well. As it's always 0.1% x 14 now permanently making the blood leach higher, since your damage is always 14.

Glad you enjoy the videos, and am happy I have helped you out!

Thank you! I am a big fa of the game and have tried to cover as much as I can!

I'm in the same boat. Late to the party but this game definitely scratches an itch that nearly no other game can even get close to. There are so many complex systems to interact with and once you get past the blisteringly difficult first few hours, it really pays off. I've been doing horror weapon runs to build up some capital but now I have some much money i feel like there isn't anything to do with it haha what a roller coaster of a game. I live it

Great tip!

Great idea except you can't place the enchanting table in the middle csuse it doesn't fit

​@@BengNinja I think they just meant it as a refrence guide to get the hang of the distancing, not for actually using it there.

Do you think it's an intentional environmental detail with some lore in that area relating to enchanting?

My guide for this is this: Near: stand inside your table, crouch. And while holding the pillar, move slowly slowly to the correct direction until you can place it. (No longer red) Far: once again, Stand inside your table. Dodge, if you have dodge upgrades, you only need one dodge. But if you have heavy armor and no upgrades, dodge once, walk two steps forward and place the pillar. If you want to do one dodge only: get naked, remove your weapons and drop your backpack and only have the pillar in your pocket. If you are confused about directions, here's an easy tip. Always place your table while you are facing the south direction, this will ensure the table's butterfly always points to the north. The only time I'm having difficulty with enchantment is when the terrain is fucking me over, hills where one pillar ends up too high or not enough space for far pillars. A perfect example of this is Electric Lab enchantments that boost your speed. Why? It's a dungeon, it's full of narrow rooms, the only advantage is it has a railroad that works as a poor man's ruler for enchantments

Yooooo thanks! When are we ganna get more Outward vids mate???

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome! Thanks for watching and I will definitely continue the content!

@HajteroOfTheLand I tested the legacy upgrade with a normal Kazite chest, enchanted with assassin. Did not upgrade to Master Kazite after. Done it shortly after DE launched. In Oldward, legacy chest upgrades never worked for me if items were enchanted before.

Thanks! I am really loving this guys music so I have to keep using it LOL. Glad you enjoyed it!

Well hopefully you can pretty easily understand it with this guide lol. its confusing at first but pretty fun once you get it down.

Epic! Glad you enjoy them! Feel free to make video suggestions if you want to see something specific!

Thank you for watching the videos and I am glad they are helping you out! I will look into it. Its a very buggy puzzle honestly, as I have the flames turn off on me at least half the time. But I will check it out and see if I can work out a good guide for it. Trust me, those elementals are rough to find sometimes. The fire one can actually hide directly behind a wall you would never check... why? I don't know 😂

Ya that might be a fun video to make! Thanks for the suggestion and glad you are enjoying the content!

Awesome! Glad I could help!

Glad it was helpful! It can be a complicated topic so I tried to put in as much info as possible. Good luck enchanting stuff and thanks for watching the vids!

Glad I can be of some help! Some of these enchants completely change the game and can give you a ton of power.

Glad to hear it!

Yes that is true. I will say that it says definitive edition in the title which automatically include the DLC's, but it probably would have been a good idea to mention that. Glad it was easy to understand as that is what I was going for!

@@SheenShots Wait, definitive edition includes the dlc's? I have that edition and I need to pay separately. :(

@@MsTruthdiscovered make sure you're selecting to play the definitive edition by manually launching it in steam instead of via a desk top shortcut if you're on pc

@@maxbarnett1933 It doesn't show another version in my steam library. My library page says definitive edition, but when I launch it shows the OG. Idk

@@MsTruthdiscovered so when you go to launch the game from your library, that's when it should give you two options. Go into your library click on the game and click play and it should say launch outward or launch definitive edition, note this is after you click play on outward in your library and not through the desktop icon

I am pretty sure it either goes away or can't be used to craft. Can't remember at the moment tbh.

Glad you found the vid useful. I have not noticed this change. It could be to bad RNG for your character or just good RNG for mine. I doubt they would decrease it without telling people unless it was a mistake. I will have to check it out some more to know for sure.

Very true. Usually I just face it north so that the orientation stays the same each time but not really a requirement.

So the answer to your question is yes. Items will retain their damage and other stats after being enchanted. However, there are some exceptions to this. Some enchants will change your weapon and also balance it by decreasing the current damage. One example is poltergeist. It adds Raw damage to your weapon that will cut through everything. To balance this, the enchant also decreases your weapons physical damage by a percentage. This will not affect things like confusion, pain, burning as they never get taken off of weapons that have those.

I just went back and checked on this as you are right I didn't even think of it. Enchantments can not be done on a weapon that are already enchanted. This seems to mean that you can't undo enchants or replace them. Glad you enjoyed the video!

@@SheenShots Your videos are the best!

That is called maelstrom if I remember correctly. It is crafted using materials from the unique bosses and is probably the best sword to use with dagger build. Plus it looks pretty sick lol

@HajteroOfTheLand At the moment i am using the jade scimitar, for the mana cost. Thats pretty much it at the moment. And i am playing a rune mage, so i normally use the land mines and the magic sword. :) But i have been thinking of switching it out for something else like a vampyric sword

No the recipe is simply a guide. If you know what you need or even just check the wiki for the materials you are good to go.

PS4 actually does not have definitive Edition. It is only available for more recent consoles. And this would add that dreamers root and enemies.

I was curious about that also lol

Anytime lol.

Heck ya. Glad to help.

I like to use something with fire as they are very weak to it. Then you want to draw out the bugs and do a running attack. It is very difficult to not become inflicted with hive infestation, but I seem to have better luck when I run in and run out over and over.

Having a certain number of barrier protects you from the insect cloud. Getting hit by the hive could still infect you so be careful. You need like 6 barrier I think. Panacea potion, or a fungal cleanser food can cure it.

Yes, each item can only be enchanted once. But you can always enchant multiple of the same items or enchant as many items as you want.

You can enchant any virgin weapon with Forge Fire. This causes it to deal a fire explosion which is great for impact. Here is a link to the wiki for more details: outward.fandom.com/wiki/Forge_Fire

@@SheenShots thank you!

You will need to enchant a weapon with Forge Fire to get it to explode on contact. If you want to shoot with your melee you need an imbue or varnish on and Elemental discharge. Here is a link to the enchant I think you are interested in and yes there are a few others for each element: outward.fandom.com/wiki/Virgin_Axe?so=search

@@SheenShots thank you for replying, i will look into this info. Btw I was about to give up on Outward in the early game until i watched your videos and learned how to get better at this game. You make great videos, keep up the good work.

I will do my best to help here, but first I am going to post the recipe just to go over it easier: [Incense: Morpho Incense Pillars: North Close, South Far, West Close, West Far Equipment: Steel Sabre, Cerulean Saber Other Conditions: Must be in Enmerkar Forest during the Foggy season. Turn on "Atmospheric Fog" in your graphical settings to more easily tell when the Foggy season has arrived. Also, a season cannot change until you reload the area (sleeping or changing zones).] So the pillar placement is often what people mess up. If you really can't get the enchant to work try moving you far pillars either closer or further. It can be a bit finicky until you have done it many times. Then also make sure the foggy season is the purple stuff flying around in the air. I believe this is the actual foggy part. Hopefully this helps a little. Its hard to do much else in a mere comment.

@@SheenShots Thanks for the reply yeah, I have everything right as far the location, fog, Incense, Item. I must be messing up on the pillar placement it honestly drove me crazy, and you are exactly right it's hard for you to do more than explain as you have. I was looking for a diagram that gave some sort of too close too far. I don't know what to do at this point, is there a place in Emmerkar that has physical markers or landmarks that you use that help with alignment. I was just doing it on the road just north where you go to caldera. If you played on pc I would love to see it done on pc if you ever had the chance, I was wanting to make a hex dot build and I can't even play the build I want to make without the rainbow hex enchant. I try the roll -3 steps but the steps aren't very reliable.

Here's a pro gamer tip: Play the game, experiment, discover, make your own setups. I refused to commit the "roll and 3 steps" setup, as it seemed really stupid for me too, but I KNEW that this was just one of many possible setups. So, when it was time for me to make my first enchanted tunic, I fumbled with the pillars for a good five minutes, until I discovered this: starting from the enchanting altar, and facing the direction needed, count ten paces towards that direction. I play on a controller, so I'd tilt the stick half way in order to walk. This might not work great if you play on a keyboard, but perhaps 8 paces at full speed, or 12 paces while crouching, should have a similar effect. If it doesn't work, guess what, this is the perfect opportunity to go and make your own setup, one that you don't find "asinine". Just don't blame the rest of us if you are too dense to figure something out that works for you, respectfully.

I think it either just changes and does not keep the enchant, or doesn't change and keeps the enchant. Iron knuckles can be enchanted with unsuspected strength and it will pass on to the gold version when legacied. I think that one is the only exception though.

That is the forge fire enchant. It can be placed on any virgin weapon and I will leave this link below for all the specific details if you are interested. outward.fandom.com/wiki/Forge_Fire

@@SheenShots Thanks!

The system is quite confusing at first trust me lol. Until you get your hands on some of the materials and play around with it, this seems like just a bunch of words.

It is quite confusing feels like way to much at first. Once you get into it the system is very rewarding. Although depending on the enchant it can be tedious regardless.

I often find if I messed it up its because I went like a step or two too far.

Depends on your skills/build backpack + heavy armor = too small dodge distance, unless you have both upgrades for less armor burden and no backpack penalty. If you want consistent results. ENCHANT WHILE NAKED.

If you ever look through the possible enchants through the wiki its looks insane. There are a ridiculous number of enchants. Some of which make the game a joke when used correctly.

Honestly I love it, a lot of it is IRL alchemic beliefs or at least very reminiscent of it. I've only recently gotten into this game but I see it as a love letter to the genre.

It is frustrating and confusion at first. Especially if you want to enchant your gear right off the bat. But because there are so many enchants and you eventually find particles much faster, it turns into a system that is unique and sort of fun in its own way.

Sorry its not like Skyrim where any moron can walk up to a table with a skiver soul gem and enchant a weapon with instant nut projection whenever it hits an enemy.

Well some enchantments are quite strong so it better be pretty hard to get them or else they are op

Found a newbie right here. The enchanting here makes me feel like an evil genius. A warlock final boss doing some complex ritual in front of the heroes whose puny brains cannot grasp. Elder Scrolls Enchantment: eh.. it's a thing Outward Enchantment: Sun of the East, Wind of the North, grant my lantern eternal flame. At the end, what do you get? Heavy armor set that only costs 3% movement speed penalty (mind you most heavy armor in full set gives you double digit worth of speed penalty). A bow whose combined with that gatling arrow skill causes a guaranteed Frozen/Burning or worse: Decay debuff. An unblockable weapon that is guaranteed to still do 30 damage even if you try to block it. Unlimited Lantern, or tired of boring old flamethrower lanterns? How about an electric/freezing/toxic lantern? Complete immunity to a specific status effect? Yes please. Poise/posture so tough you have to wonder who is actually the boss of the area? Them or you? Near unlimited magic spam. And I forgot I am hungry/tired/sleepy or I don't feel cold/hot in here for several days now. (Allowing you to save on food/sleep and adventure near endlessly)

It's good though, instead of just throw and enchanted stone at an item and selecting something you actually need to go on a quest, as intended
