Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) It's a relatively well-known fact actually, that enchants on rare / supreme / fantastic items last longer, this effect does stack with the damage reduction from steel, and can further add to this effect; Enchant decay is based on both time spent doing actions and damage taken afaik. Rare items are both quicker to use, and take less damage when used. Steel reduces that damage even further. Both effects are hard-coded into the game. The side effect ends up being that enchants decay slower too. Edited August 28, 2016 by whereami 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) ofc rares make enchants wear out less, I just didn't think steel did. Always thought it was based on actions that have a timer above 5s and then the whole "get around enchant decay" method. If "damage taken" is taken into account as you say it is, armor and weapons would take enchant decay, which they do not - because they do not involve actions with timers above 5 seconds. E: take this as a free bump. Edited August 29, 2016 by Soil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is why horseshoes etc also don't decay their enchants, but rather just take damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 30, 2016 yes steel has a bonus that lowers enchant / imbue decay not sure if it stacks with rare reduction or now, however the dmg reduction of steel does stack with dmg reduction of rarity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
