== Enchantment Overview ==
{{Languages|Attributing Equipment}}{{Development}}__FORCETOC__
Elsword, just like any other good MMORPG out there, has a unique elemental enchanting system. In Elsword, element stones are known as Elstones, and there are seven types of them: Fire, Ice, Poison, Wind, Light, Dark, and Random.
== Attribute Enchantment Overview ==
The Elemental Attributing System allows you to apply powerful attributes to your weapons to make them stronger, as well as add resistances to your armor. Attributing is done by using El Shards, which come in seven types: Fire, Water, Nature, Wind, Light, Dark, and Mystery. In dungeons, certain enemies can also be enchanted with elemental attributes.  


[[Image:Elstone Refiner.JPG|right]] Elstones can be found in all maps as a rare drop. It looks like a black crystal on the floor, and it is actually the random elstone. You can either collect them to get a random element enchanted or refine them with the machine displayed on the right. It can be bought from any alchemist.
Attributing weapons grants the ability to inflict [[Status Effects]] while attributing armor adds resistance to the element type.  


Enchanting armor adds resistance of that elemental type, while enchanting weapons allows you to utilize its effects. It is possible to hybrid certain elements, which will be explained later on.
The amount of possible enchants relies on the weapon's level. Typically it is two, once weapons are level 40+ or 70+, 3 or 4 elements become available.
Every Weapon allow you to enchant 3 times which also power up your element.


== How to Enchant  ==
Elemental resistances decreases the chance of receiving the corresponding element's effect as well as reducing its effectiveness. The first armor enchantment grants 75 corresponding resistance, while the second bumps it up to 110, the third bumps it up to 135. The maximum resistance to a certain element is 500, where the element will only have a 20% effect in PvP and no effect in PvE.


[[Image:How To Enchant.JPG]]
== How to Attribute  ==


1) Go to any town alchemist and select "Enchant".  
[[File:Elshardupda.png|1000px]]


2) Select the armour or weapon you wish to enchant.  
<br>
=== Guide ===
#Go to any town alchemist and select ''Attributes''.
#Select the armor or weapon you wish to enchant.  
#Select the element you wish to enchant with.
<br>


3) Select the element you wish to enchant with.  
If you ever wish to remove an element, you can do so by opening the attribute window via an alchemist by having one El Shard of any type in your inventory, select attribute equipment, and click Remove Attribute. Note: no El Shards will be regained through the process.


The number of Elstones required depend on the level of the equipment. Armour enchanting is rather low in comparison with weapons.  
When removing enchantments for different attributes, be sure to remove ALL at once if re-attributing to III enchantment. Failing to do so will result in the use of excessive El Shards.


The first enchantment on a weapon requires as many Elstones as half the weapon's level. The second enchantment on a weapon requires as many Elstones as 1.5 times the weapon's level. The third enchantment on a weapon requires as many Elstones as 3 times the weapon's level. Weapons of unique rarity add 2 levels to the formula.  
<br>
=== El Shard Requirements ===
[[File:HQ Shop Item 130047.png|thumb|El Shard (Mystery)]]
To add attributes to equipment, you must have a certain number of El Shards of a particular element in your inventory. El Shards can be found in various methods, such as trading with other players, event rewards, [[Ice Burners]], or identified from Mystery El Shards.  


For example if you were to enchant a Lv40 weapon with Fire for the first time, you would require 20 Fire Elstones. If it was a unique Lv40 it would require 21 Elstones instead. For a second Enchantment, you would require 60 more Elstones.  
Mystery El Shards can be used to apply a random element to your equipment, or you can refine them into elemental El Shards at random by right-clicking on them for a cost of 2000 ED each. All elements have an equal chance of being identified from a Mystery El Shard.


_____________________________
The number of El Shards required depends on the equipment's level, type, rarity, and number of existing attributes.

Here is a full list of the effects of each element. There are two groups of elements; stacking and instant effect. When dual attributing equipment, you can only combine one element from each group. For example, you can mix Fire and Light, but mixing Water and Nature is impossible.


Here is a full list of the effects of each element. There are two groups of elements; stacking and instant effect. When dual enchanting a weapon, you can only hybrid one element from each group. For example, you can mix Fire and Light, but mixing Ice and Poison is impossible.
=== Stacking Elemental Effects ===
These elements' effects can be stacked up to three times each, hence the name of their group. This is indicated by the number over the debuff icon.


When a weapon is enchanted with a stackable attribute, the weapon will be enveloped in a small cloud of the element's color. When the attribute reaches level III or IV, the weapon outline of your character's commands will change to that same color. This will not affect [[Lu/Ciel|Lu]], [[Rose]], [[Ain]], or [[Laby]]. For Rena, [[Rena#Arrows_Graphical_Effects|the color of her arrows will change]] instead of her weapon outline.
<br>


==== [[File:Fire Icon.png]] Fire (Burning) ====
[[File:FireELSTONE.png|thumb|El Shard (Fire)]]
Fire inflicts {{se|102|Burning||ed|icon=no}}, which drastically deals damage and MP burn over time. Increasing its enchantment level raises its chance of effect and the potency of damage it deals. Fire is the perfect damage addition when up against enemies with massive amounts of health. Although deadly in PvP, this element has had a drastic increase in people who stack up against it since Veteran Commander was released. Fire works especially well with fast attacking characters and high base attack power, like [[Elsword]], [[Nova Imperator]], and [[Oz Sorcerer]]. It is possible for the burn to kill enemies.


Additionally, Fire Resistance will also increase the player's resistance towards {{se||Burn|tt=no}}.

==== [[File:Water Icon.png]] Water (Freezing) ====
[[File:IceELSTONE.png|thumb|El Shard (Water)]]
Water inflicts {{se|104|Freezing||ed|icon=no}}, which drastically decreases Action Speed and lowers the enemy's defense stats. This will also reduce the knockback distance that enemies will travel. Increasing its enchantment level highly will raise its chance of effect. Water makes it a good compromise for PvP. Water works especially well with characters that utilize trapping, such as [[Daybreaker]], [[Twilight]], and [[Aether Sage]]. It is also particularly useful for dungeons where enemies have high defenses.


Additionally, Water Resistance will also increase the player's resistance towards {{se||Extreme Coldness|tt=no}}, {{se||Freeze|tt=no||label=no}}{{se|562|Freeze||ed|tt=no}}, {{se|097|Bubble Aura||ed|tt=no}}, and {{se|520|Weak Icerite||ed|tt=no}}.

==== [[Image:FireELSTONE.png]]  Fire (Blaze) ====
{| cellpadding="5" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center"
Fire drastically deals DoT (damage over time). Its effect can be stacked up to three times. Increasing its enchantment level raises its chance of effect, and the potency of damage it deals. Fire is the perfect damage addition when up against enemies with massive amounts of health. Although deadly in PvP, most players enchant their armour with Fire for resistance against it. Fire works especially well with fast attacking characters and high base attack power, like Elsword and Dark Magicians. Ever since the Element Revamp, Fire can now kill.

Blaze (Lv1) 5% Chance of Effect
==== [[File:Nature Icon.png]] Nature (Poisoning) ====
[[File:PoisonELSTONE.png|thumb|El Shard (Nature)]]
Nature inflicts {{se|103|Poisoning||ed|icon=no}}, which slightly decreases Movement/Jump Speed and deals slight damage over time. Increasing its enchantment level raises its chance of effect and the potency of damage it deals. Although not as strong as Fire, Nature makes it very difficult for opponents to run away in PvP. People tend to stack up against this the most because of this movement crippling effect. Nature works especially well with fast attacking characters with high base attack power or characters that can lock combos, such as [[Knight Emperor]] and [[Anemos]]. [[Twilight]] also benefits from this greatly, as it helps her low damage output while gaining an advantage over high-speed opponents such as [[Furious Blade]] and [[Immortal]]. Like Fire, Nature can also kill.


Stacked 1 Time: Deals ??% of the weapon's attack power over 10 seconds.
Additionally, Nature Resistance will also increase the player's resistance towards {{se||Poison|tt=no}}, {{se||Move Slowdown|tt=no|label=no}}{{se|352|Move Slowdown||ed|tt=no}}, {{se|096|Tied Down||ed|tt=no}}, {{se|107|Dryad's Fury||ed|tt=no}}, and {{se|115|Toxic||ed|tt=no}}.

Stacked 2 Times: Deals ??% of the weapon's attack power over 10 seconds.
 
Stacked 3 Times: Deals ??% of the weapon's attack power over 10 seconds.
 
 
 
==== [[Image:IceELSTONE.png]]  Ice (Frozen) ====
Ice drastically decreases movement speed, and lowers the enemy's defense stats. Its effect can be stacked up to three times. Increasing its enchantment level highly raises its chance of effect, and the amount of time the effects lasts for. Ice makes it impossible for opponents to escape in PvP, making cutting through the heaviest of armours like paper possible. Ice works especially well with characters that require trapping, like Sniping Rangers and High Magicians.
 
 
Frozen (Lv1) 6% Chance of Effect
 
Stacked 1 Time: Lowers movement speed by 40%, and lowers defense by 33% for 10 seconds.
 
Stacked 2 Times: Lowers movement speed by 60%, and lowers defense by 66% for 10 seconds.
 
Stacked 3 Times: Lowers movement speed by 80%, and lowers defense by 99% for 10 seconds.
 
 
Master Frozen (Lv2) 12% Chance of Effect

Stacked 3 Times: Lowers movement speed by 80%, and lowers defense by 99% for 13 seconds.
 
 
Triple Master Frozen (Lv3) 15% Chance of Effect
 
Stacked 1 Time: Lowers movement speed by 40%, and lowers defense by 33% for 17 seconds.
 
Stacked 2 Times: Lowers movement speed by 60%, and lowers defense by 66% for 17 seconds.
 
Stacked 3 Times: Lowers movement speed by 80%, and lowers defense by 99% for 17 seconds.
 
 
 
==== [[Image:PoisonELSTONE.png]]  Poison ====
Poison slightly decreases movement speed, and deals slight DoT (damage over time). Its effect can be stacked up to three times. Increasing its enchantment level raises its chance of effect, and the potency of damage it deals. Although not as strong as Fire, its hybrid with Ice makes it a good compromise for PvP. Unlike Fire, not all players have high resistance against Poison. Poison works especially well with fast attacking characters with high base attack power, like Elsword and Dark Magicians. Ever since the Element Revamp, Poison now lowers Attack Speed Instead.
 
 
Poison (Lv1) 5% Chance of Effect
 
Stacked 1 Time: Deals ??% of the weapon's attack power over 10 seconds. Lowers Attack speed by ??% for 10 seconds.
 
Stacked 2 Times: Deals ??% of the weapon's attack power over 10 seconds. Lowers Attack speed by ??% for 10 seconds.

These elements' effects only work once each time they occur and do not stack, hence the name of their group.


These elements' effects only work once each time they occur, hence the name of their group.
When a weapon is enchanted with an attribute with an instant effect, a light will appear on your character's hand. As the level of enchantment increases, the light will increase in size until it forms an orb.  
<br>


==== [[File:Wind Icon.png]] Wind (Piercing) ====
[[File:WindELSTONE.png|thumb|El Shard (Wind)]]
Wind ignores the enemy's defense and guard and adds 40% more damage from the weapon's attack power. When an attack activates Wind, the attack reduces Knockdown by -10 (will take the lower value if the attack reduces Knockdown as well). Increasing the enchantment level raises the chance of effect. This is not stacked very much on most of the servers, although there are people who heavily stack against this due to player preference. This enchantment works well on characters with high damage multipliers like [[Knight Emperor]],  [[Rena]], and [[Raven]] as well as multi-hitter specialists like [[Immortal]], [[Code: Ultimate]], and [[Bloody Queen]]. Combined with a high critical hit ratio, the raw power of Wind is a force to be reckoned with.


Additionally, Wind Resistance will also increase the player's resistance towards {{se||Bleed|tt=no}}.

==== [[Image:WindELSTONE.png]]  Wind (Piercing) ====
{| cellpadding="5" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center"

Master Piercing (Lv2) 12% Chance of Effect
==== [[File:Light Icon.png]] Light (Petrifying) ====
[[File:LightELSTONE.png|thumb|El Shard (Light)]]
Light inflicts {{se|105|Petrifying||ed|icon=no}}, which petrifies enemies, stopping them mid-animation and leaving them open to attacks for a short period of time. Increasing its level of enchantment raises its chance of effect and the petrification duration. In dungeons, Petrifying's effect will reset monsters' hit counter after it wears off, allowing for longer combos before knocking them down. Being petrified is similar to having Super Armor. Light works especially well with strong one-hit attackers or fast multi-hit attackers such as [[Furious Blade]], [[Aether Sage]], and [[Add]]. However, this element can be disruptive and can cause early knockdowns in PvP due to bad timing, lag, or resistance. Unfortunately, it does not take a high amount of light resistance to cause this effect. Light Element has most use in dungeons, where it can completely stop an enemy or boss from moving.


Triple Master Piercing (Lv3) 15% Chance of Effect
Additionally, Light Resistance will also increase the player's resistance towards {{se||Faint|tt=no}}, {{se|101|Blind||ed|icon=no|tt=no}} from [[Photon Flare]], and {{se|194|Electrocution||ed|tt=no}}.
<br>


==== [[Image:LightELSTONE.png]]  Light (Shock) ====
{| cellpadding="5" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center"
Light petrifies enemies, making them vulnerable to attacks for a short period of time. Increasing its level of enchantment raises its chance of effect, and the amount of time enemies are petrified. In dungeons, Shock's effect will reset monsters' hit counter after it wears off, allowing for longer combos before knocking them down. Being petrified is similar to having Super Armour. Light works especially well with high one-hit attackers like Sniping Rangers, High Magicians, and Code Exotics. Also good for Lord Knights. However, victims of petrification gain a 10% defense boost for the duration.

Shock (Lv1) 5% Chance of Effect, petrifies enemies for 2 seconds. Petrified enemies gain 10% defense.
==== [[File:Dark Icon.png]] Dark (Plagued) ====
[[File:DarkELSTONE.png|thumb|El Shard (Dark)]]
Dark drains a certain amount of HP and MP from enemies. Increasing its level of enchantment raises its chance of effect and the amount of HP and MP it drains. Dark works well with all characters but works especially well with characters that have multiple-hit moves, such as [[Furious Blade]], [[Immortal]], and [[Prime Operator]], or have long-ranged attacks that hit multiple enemies, such as [[Armageddon Blade]] or passives such as [[Vibe Shot]].


Master Shock (Lv2) 8% Chance of Effect, petrifies enemies for 2.5(may be wrong) seconds. Petrified enemies gain 10% defense.
Usually, resistance against this element is not invested by players for PvE. However, it is still a very common thing to stack up against it for PvP. Draining the exact amount of HP/MP is nearly impossible since most players and monsters have resistance towards all elements, although gaining even a small amount of its maximum value might make a huge difference for both PvP and PvE.


Triple Master Shock (Lv3) 10% Chance of Effect, petrifies enemies for 3 seconds. Petrified enemies gain 10% defense.
Additionally, Dark Resistance will also increase the player's resistance towards {{se|078|Aging|tt=no}} and {{se||Curse|tt=no}}.

Dark drains a certain amount of HP and MP from enemies. Increasing its level of enchantment raises its chance of effect, and the amount of HP and MP it drains. Dark works especially well with characters that have multiple hit moves, like Magic Knights, Dark Magicians, and Code Architectures. Dark is also very useful for Sword Takers, as they need to maintain over 90% HP to dish out maximum damage.

== Tips and Details ==
*Beneficial effects coming from Attributes are affected by the enemy's Elemental Resistance stat. The lower resistance, the better the effect.
**The Elemental Resistance stat is not capped at 0, thus the effects will increase even beyond their maximum when it goes negative.
**Negative Water Attribute Resistance is able to extend the duration of {{se||Freeze}} from skills and items. It will also increase the Defense Pierce effect, making it extremely potent, provided that the enemy can be debuffed.
*Poison Resistance can be useful for a dungeon like [[Transporting Tunnel: Contaminated Area]], in which case the player will be able to avoid the auto-poisoning from the time limit running out.
*Fire Resistance can be useful for dungeons like [[Dragon Nest: Abyss]], that have a lot of fire-based obstacles and attacks.
*Water Resistance can be useful for a dungeon like [[Water Dragon's Compass]] against [[Denif]]'s '''Freeze''' debuff.
