Engraving

**Engravings** are unique effects that grant various bonuses, such as increased damage, cooldown reduction, improved defense, and utility. They unlock at the start of the East Luterra questline.

There are two types of engravings: combat engravings and class engravings. Combat engravings are available to any class, while class engravings can only be utilized by a specific class. There are also negative engravings which reduces the player's power.

## Point system

**Engravings** use a node system. Having enough nodes in one engraving will trigger its effects to a specific level based on number of nodes.

* Level 1: 5 nodes
* Level 2: 10 nodes
* Level 3: 15 nodes

Note that any nodes above a threshold and below the next do not grant any additional effect (e.g. having 9 nodes on an engraving only grants the Level 1 engraving). Also note that any nodes above 15 does not grant any additional effect.

Obtaining engraving nodes comes from various sources:

* Equippable engravings
* Ability stones
* Accessories (Necklaces, Earrings, Rings)

### Equippable engravings

Equippable engravings can be equipped on a character after having learnt the corresponding engraving recipe. Two slots are available for equippable engravings and the same equippable engraving can be equipped twice. The menu can be opened with [Alt + I]. Equip an equippable engraving with [RMB] for the first slot and [Alt + RMB] for the second slot.

Engraving recipes require combat level 50. Engraving recipes are generally tradable 1 time before becoming bound to the character.

To read an engraving recipe for a rarity, the player first needs to have read 20 recipes from the previous rarity (Rare > Epic > Legendary).

* For one engraving:
	+ By default, starting from level 50, unlocks that equippable engraving and grants **3 nodes** if that engraving is equipped.
	+ Reading 20 Rare Engraving Recipe grants **6 nodes** if that engraving is equipped.
	+ Reading 20 Epic Engraving Recipe grants **9 nodes** if that engraving is equipped.
	+ Reading 20 Legendary Engraving Recipe grants **12 nodes** if that engraving is equipped.

### Ability stones

Ability stones grant engraving nodes for 3 different engravings: two random **combat** engravings and one random negative engraving. These stones need to be faceted before they can be equipped.

### Accessories

Accessories (Necklaces, Earrings, Rings) grants engraving nodes for different engravings: random **combat or class** engravings and one random negative engraving. Tier 2 accessories are guaranteed to have a class engraving and have no negative engraving.
