Diablo III: Reaper of Souls First Look: The Mystic

The latest blog post from Blizzard Entertainment covers the Mystic, the new Artisan added by Diablo III expansion Reaper of Souls, with plenty of screenshots to accompany its points. Here’s an excerpt:

Enchanting:

Have you ever looted an item whose stats were almost perfect, but one property just wasn’t quite what you had hoped for? Or perhaps you found an item you love, but are starting to outgrow its power? With Enchanting, you will be able to reroll one property on a Rare or Legendary item simply by speaking to Myriam, opening up her Enchant menu, and then paying a material cost. It’s that easy!

While not all properties can be rerolled, most can, and you’ll be able to reroll a single property over and over again, as many times as you like. This allows Enchanting to feel meaningful, while still allowing lots of room for you to hunt for even better base items (which, of course, you can then Enchant into even more powerful items, and so on).

How Enchanting Works:

Enchanting an item is simple:

1.) Talk to Myriam and select her “Enchant” Menu.

2.) From there, place an item onto the Enchanting window. A list of properties will appear under your item. You can choose to reroll any one of these properties, and you can find out what resulting properties you have the possibility to obtain by clicking on the question mark to the right of each property.

3.) Once you’ve decided what property you want to reroll, simply gather the required crafting materials and the necessary gold, select the property you wish to reroll, and then hit “Replace Property” to lock in your choice.

4.) Select your replacement property from the list of available choices. You can view the possible replacement properties to the right on the advanced Enchanting window.

5.) After you’ve Enchanted an item, you will have the option of replacing its previously Enchanted property with a new property for an additional gold and crafting material cost.

Further Enchanting Details:

Since the resulting property you receive during Enchanting will be random, it’s possible that the new properties you’re provided may end up being less desirable to you than the one you are replacing. But fear not! In order to mitigate this type of buyer’s remorse, Myriam will also offer the previous property in the list of options when using Enchanting. So if you don’t like the new property that Enchanting offered you, you can always choose to keep the old one.

Keep in mind that when choosing which property you wish to reroll, you will only be able to reroll that one property from then on out. After a single property has been changed via Enchanting, all other properties will become “locked in” and cannot be rerolled. Also, once you Enchant an item, it will become bound to your account and can no longer be traded to other players.
