A Guide To Embers and Exalting So You Don't Waste Them

Just thought I would share some of the things I learned the hard way so you don’t have to. Fallen Embers They either re-roll an enchant or add a missing one. In my opinion, these have exactly one use - re-rolling negative plagued enchants. Don’t waste them on anything else because you can easily spend upwards of 20 embers just trying to roll the specific plague enchant you want. The clearest way to counter plague enchants is corrupting a common item which has the indestructible facet, and then…

I put emphasis on the guide to embers because your feedback would suggest you are not using them optimally.

Enchantments are in groups for balancing. The headpiece is generally what you can use to improve focus - max focus, gain focus on status effect, increase focus gain by %, etc. There are also many gems which help here as well. Band of calmness ring is great maxed at 15% for gain and 50% max focus. Also keep facets in mind, like mystic armor and ritualistic weapons, but keep in mind you are generally having to make a trade off here between focus gain and stamina regen.

I personally don’t worry about min-maxing enchantments until end game. I have found that gems with common gear are really strong while leveling up and make up for the lack of stat points until you get closer to max level. It also helps a lot to keep your weapons and armor as upgraded as you can. Gems make this easier with common gear since you can move them around without destroying anything, allowing you to use any higher level items you find immediately.
