Cheaper Enchantments

I wanted to write down the enchantment market prices and their chances to enchant an item.

Scenario: You want to enchant purple or yellow items to equip heroes with

Tarrasque Enchant t12:

  • Normal = gold/2 gems
  • Green = gold/3 gems
  • Blue = 9 gems
  • Purple: 49 gems
  • Yellow: 169 gems

Dark Enchant t12:

  • Normal: gold/2 gems
  • Green: gold/3 gems
  • Blue: 10 gems
  • Purple: 60 gems
  • Yellow: 387 gems

Probability to enchant a yellow item with …:

  • Yellow enchantment = 100%
  • Purple t12 enchantment = 33% (so you need 3 attemps on average)
  • Purple t9 enchantment = 20% (5 attemps on avg)

Probability to enchant a purple item with …:

  • Purple t12 enchant = 100%
  • Blue t12 enchant = 33%
  • Blue t9 enchant = 20%

This pattern continues. So we can use lower rarity enchants to enchant higher items for cheaper.

  • Tarrasque t12: Using 3x Purple on Yellow -> 150 gems vs 169 yellow on yellow
  • Dark t12: Using 3x Purple on Yellow -> 180 gems vs 387 yellow on yellow

Huge savings!

PS: This also means it’s doubly not worth to fuse 5x purple enchants into 1x yellow. Same holds true for items due to 50% failure chance
