What are Relics and where do I find them?

Relics are special items that drop from bosses, loot chests, and archaeology sites, giving direct stat boosts to attack or mining power. They're an alternative to grinding for perfect enchantments.

How do bow and crossbow enchantments differ?

Bow enchantments like Archer's Gambit and Guiding reward accuracy and timing, while crossbow enchantments like Blazebolt and Repeating add utility like multi-shot loading and special ammo effects. Some work on both.

What's the best way to use melee enchantments like Allegro?

Melee enchantments reward timed hits and tactical play—Allegro speeds up swing rate when you land consecutive strikes, while Slaying Tempo builds up to explosions. Stack them on one weapon to chain effects together.

Can I use this mod with other enchanting mods?

Ascendant Arcana replaces vanilla enchanting mechanics, so conflicts may occur with mods that heavily modify enchanting tables or recipes. Check mod compatibility lists or test in a world before committing.

Do I need Chiseled Bookshelves for every enchantment?

No—common and uncommon enchantments work fine at the Copper Table alone. Chiseled Bookshelves are only required to unlock and craft rare treasure enchantments.

How do Restorine crystals work?

Restorine crystals repair tools and serve as ingredients in crafting recipes, especially for relics. Gather them as you progress to unlock higher-tier gear upgrades.

Frequently asked questions

How do I start enchanting in Ascendant Arcana?

Craft a

Copper Enchanting Table as your first station—it requires copper,

restorine, and a book. Place it down and use Magical Scrap along with enchanted books to craft deterministic enchantments instead of gambling with vanilla enchanting.

What's the difference between the Copper Table and Chiseled Bookshelves?

The

Copper Enchanting Table handles early-game common and uncommon enchantments. Chiseled Bookshelves provide extra enchanting power and unlock rare recipes when you place treasure enchantments inside them nearby.

How do I unlock rare enchantments?

Find or obtain treasure enchantments, then place them inside Chiseled Bookshelves positioned near your enchanting station. This unlocks their recipes so you can craft them deterministically.

What is Magical Scrap and how do I get it?

Magical Scrap is the main ingredient for enchanting recipes. Craft it from gold nuggets, amethyst, and lapis, or grind enchanted tools and gear at the grindstone to extract it.
