enchanting melee weapons? good or bad?

[zodiacboner]

So I'm wondering if its good to do this. Or better to use weapon. With higher atk. Seems like if u kill creators weak to it it might help more. Or no? Creatures``

[Ryszard]

in my opinion its no point to enchant weapon, i think you need enchanted weapon only when you are hunting tombs with ghosts at knight

Ok guys please explain to him instead of just giving him a 2 Word answere , yes enchanting weapons is better in some cases like when you're hunting dragons /dragonlords enchanting your weapon if enchantable with ice will give u better exp/h and doesnt cost much to enchant the weapons in my opinion its Worth it depending on what you are hunting , For example dragons , dragonlord spots both are weak to ice = good to enchant , if u hunt in a spot where some monsters strong vs ice some weak not Worth it rather stick with psyk dmg , Gl hf

Well, the offer is open (L).

The important thing to remember when considering enchanting weapons is how to practice safely. On a serious note, you shouldn't enchant any weapon you can't replace instantly. For example, if you have a 100k weapon, and 500k+ in the bank, you could easily enough enchant your weapon and not worry about it because if it came to it, you could replace it. However, if you enchanted your 100k weapon and had only 50k left afterwards, then you wanted to hunt somewhere else, you might get worse exp/h or profit as a result. It's kinda a pain in the ass to think about. If you're gonna bot for long periods, fine, go for it. Example: botting soils, most people who do so use enchanted weapons as the benefit may only be 5% or so (take icy war axe, look at outline below for calculations), but in reality that converts to a large amount of cash in the 6 months they will bot (800k/day is what I used to make at soils). Consider 800k per day, 5% extra is 40k extra per day. Over 2 months that's 1.2kk botting every day. Not something to be sniffed at.

An unenchanted War Axe has 48/10 atk/def. An Icy War Axe has 39/9/10 atk/ice/def, that means it loses 9 (around 25%) attack, and gains 9 (around 25%) icy damage. If you consider that a fire elemental (blazing, for this example) is then 25% weak to ice, you can say that 25% of your damage will be increased by 25%, thus 25% of 25% is your increase in damage output, in this instance calculating to give you 5% more damage against fire elementals when using a weapon with approximately 25% elemental damage.

So yeah, that 5% extra makes a difference when you are going at it pretty hardcore, but if you're botting say tortoises it could still be beneficial I guess, since although the %'s are smaller, the % of your damage that will be done by fire damage will be increased because your skills will be lower. All depends how you look at it, and on the formulas of CIP (which I don't know off the top of my head).

@fenol yeah. I know not use it against strong lol. But yeah I'm wondering if its better to use let's say mystif blade ice. Or blade of corruption. Against dragons? Or like mystic and fire against gs or the blade?
@XtrmJosh
Word bro thanks. But; theirs no 100k weapons enchantable xD
But in the case u pointed out. The atk 44 reduced to 36 + 8 element damage won't hit higher than a melee above in atk like sov etc..
