The unfortunate Cerim armor situation, and a lack of transparency in the enchantment tooltips

Don’t do that.

Just get one set off a new realm.

If the enchant fails, alt f4 or force close the game on task manager and reopen it.

The game won’t have saved and you’ll be back to before enchanting.

That seems silly. You risk damaging your hardware over time using such techniques, and rushing the first boss to get into the city gets you one olague ichir in under five minutes with a new realm you can just delete. Seems a win win.

Nope, you don’t damage the hardware. Alt F4 has been a thing for ages, it just closes the program and since you’re not in the middle of saving you don’t even risk corrupting the save data.

It’s an annoying and excessive solution, but better than repeatedly wasting hours running content to gamble enchants on a set.

You don’t need plague ichor fairly quickly anyways, by the time you complete the story you’re likely fully upgraded. Echo Knight also drops a plague ichor every time and you’ll be farming him for unique items as well in your endgame loop.

Fair enough on your reasoning. I thought you were simply closing down your computer manually. Alt F4. My brain did not make the right connection. I still like running in a grabbing extra ichor for new characters since I can save them for later.
