Warding

Production skill

Warding is the mystic production skill, in two disciplines: pressing essence into runes at altars, and enchanting equipment.

Alpha guide. Both disciplines are implemented in the engine but no runes or enchantments are released yet. Tables will be added here when the skill enters Alpha content.

Designed mechanics

Runecrafting: essence is carried to an altar and pressed into runes. Yield per essence scales linearly with level, from 1 at a rune's required level to 4 at skill mastery (level 100). Runes are consumed by Arcana spellcasting.

Enchanting: performed at an enchanting table, applying lasting effects to equipment. Per working, enchanting is designed to grant roughly twelve times the XP of a runecraft press.

All skills use the same experience curve. Level 100 is skill mastery (955,336 XP); level 999 is legendary mastery (253,245,203 XP). See the experience table for the full curve.

Tip. Rune yield multiplies income without changing the trip: at level 100, one essence load returns four times what it does at the rune's required level.
