<-Back-to:Item Instance

The `item_instance\enchantments` field

This Field is really a table of its own.

There are 36 numerics seperated by a space

Each Numeric is part of a three part Tuple of Numerics represents an enchantment as applied to the item.

• First Number in Tuple

  Id in the SpellItemEnchantment.dbc

• Second Number in Tuple

  Duration of the Enchantment (optional - Used by some spells)

• Third Number in Tuple

  Charges (optional - used by some spells)

Each ordinal set of 3 Id is used for a different purpose.

PERM_ENCHANTMENT_SLOT

Permanent enchantments, for example from the Enchanting profession or an armor kit.

TEMP_ENCHANTMENT_SLOT

Temporary enchantments that wear off after a while, for example poisons, weapon oils and sharpening stones.

SOCK_ENCHANTMENT_SLOT

SOCK_ENCHANTMENT_SLOT to SOCK_ENCHANTMENT_SLOT_3. The gems placed in the item's sockets, one slot per socket.

BONUS_ENCHANTMENT_SLOT

The socket bonus, which is active when the gems match the colors of the sockets.

PRISMATIC_ENCHANTMENT_SLOT

The extra prismatic socket some items get, for example from an Eternal Belt Buckle.

PROP_ENCHANTMENT_SLOT

Random Enchatments Some Items receive on creation.

These Slots are dependent on either a Random Suffix or the RandomProperty in item_template.

If a Random Suffix was applied when the instance we created then that is based off of the item_enchantment_template table. The Item Enchantment template table gives the different Random Suffixs that might be applied to a given item along with the percent chance that they will be applied.

Once an Enchant is selected then the Values in ItemRandomSuffix.dbc are used to determine how strong the enchantment is in the specified slot.

If an enchantment is placed in one of these 5 slots but there is no matching AllocationPct_# in the ItemRandom_Suffix dbc then the enchantment will have no effect on the Item.
