So I was helping someone choose enchantments and I crunched the price again for getting a +3 elemental damage on a weapon. Then I compared it to permanent stat potions and realized that I couldn't ever really justify actually getting the permanent elemental damage enchantment. It would be really cool to have a weapon that deals elemental damage, but when I could just buy 27 permanent strength enhancing potions instead, it's really pointless to pay that much for a measly +3 damage. At the current pricing, the damage enchantments cost: 1800 for +1, 5000 for the second +1, and 15000 for the third +1, for a total of 21800 mehrials for +3 damage. Even with 25% price reduction on mithril, this is prohibitive.
So... I was wondering if there's any chance the damage enchantment could be reworked a little? Either by making it a little more accessible, or altering the breakpoint for damage bonuses, to make the maximum damage 5 or 8? That would definitely be at least slightly feasible at that price. I understand that 3 is a pretty good bonus, especially at lower levels, but at higher levels, it's almost nothing. And I doubt that anyone is willing to put that much gold into a protégé that's just joined. Let me know what you think! I would love to hear feedback on this subject.
