| Category: | Items |
| Question: | The way I see it, making things like GSA(with stone), Nomad staff, and the Shendolian shield un-enchantable makes no sence. The introduction of chorizite caused for un-enchatability, but now iems that have nothing to do with chorizte are un-enchantable. You should include a good reason why they are un-enchatable, or make the items require chorizte in some way. If you think they would be unbalencing then just lower the AL or damage. I know I would rather be able to enchant AL 150 or 130 GSA with the stone then have 170 and un-enchantable. |

| Answer: | Because it's a handy way to fulfill our desire to add uber items without worrying about balancing them in light of item mages. A base 15-30 fire sword is cool. Allowing it to be buffed to base 25-50 is not. Anadil's Staff, BTW, is enchantable. |
