Every honing reagent: where it drops, chance, value and use. Enchanting recipes, trainer prices and what every attempt takes.
Loot referenceItem atlasWhat drops whereOpen the atlas
Everything honing is made of: loot reagents, crafting materials, Enchanting recipes and what every attempt takes. How honing itself works — Honing +1…+20.
Who makes what
- An enchanter (Enchanting, skill 300, a level 60 hero) makes everything of their own for honing: scrolls for every step, Tempering Essence, the Scroll of Restoration, the Seal of Steadfastness, the Scrolls of Ascension and the Scroll of Transference. Recipes — from the enchanting trainer for gold, once per hero.
- The armor scroll of every step comes in two variants: from runecloth or from reinforced leather. Both open with one purchase.
- Components come from other crafts and from loot:
