My warrior just hit level 31 and got a couple of new weapons. I thought it would be fun to have my priest enchant them with lesser beast slaying. The components aren’t too expensive so ditching the weapons in a few levels won’t be such a big deal. But when my priest tried to enchant them he wasn’t allowed to do so. A message popped up saying he needed a gold rod. He has a truesilver rod in his pack but for some reason he couldn’t use it.
This makes no sense to me. So, a level 20 warrior kills level 20 mobs with his level 20 sword. He comes back to the same area forty levels later at level 60 with a level 60 sword and gets attacked by a level 20 mob. But the poor warrior can’t kill it. He gets a massage telling him he needs a level 20 weapon to kill the level 20 mob.
Enchanters upgrade their rods just as everyone upgrades their weapons. Requiring us to keep lower level rods for lower level enchants makes about as much sense as forcing everyone to keep lower level weapons to kill lower level mobs. The only purpose it servers, at least as far as I can tell, is to force enchanters to take up even more pack/bank space.
Is this really the way it works or was my PC having a nervous breakdown this morning?
