Overview

When enchanting an item above its Safe Enchantable Limit, there is a chance it will either evaporate (be destroyed) or give out blue smoke (enchantment drops to +0, but the item survives). The overall chance of evaporation depends on the item type, its material, and whether it is an artifact.

First, the item must fail the enchantment check:

  • Weapons: 2/3 (66.7%) chance to fail.
  • Armor: (E - 1) / E chance to fail, where E is its current enchantment level.

If it fails, it will evaporate unless it gives out blue smoke. It gives out blue smoke if it passes a material/artifact resistance check:

  • Normal items (not orichalcum): 0% chance to resist (always evaporates on failure).
  • Artifacts (not orichalcum): 75% chance to resist.
  • Orichalcum items: 100% chance to resist.

However, if the item has already given out blue smoke previously, its chance to resist is reduced by 1/3 (meaning the resistance chance is multiplied by 2/3).

Combining these, the total chances of evaporation are:
