Dusts

Dusts are type of currency that are used in the enchantment process. Currently, There are 3 types of dust in the game.

Green Dust () Used for rerolling enchantments.
Red Dust () Used for upgrading enchantments. Drops from difficulty 6+ dungeons
Purple Dust () Used for unlocking Engraving slots for UTs. Drops from Exalt dungeons & Wine Cellar

Dust is gained upon completion of a dungeon, and type and amount of dust corresponds to the difficulty of the dungeon completed. Seasonal Characters receive 15% more dust.

Engravings

Untiered Items do not have the ability to recieve regular enchantments, instead, they are able to recieve Engravings, which are a special variant of enchantments tailored to a specific set of UTs using a special engraving item, dropped from Advance dungeons. Shiny variants of items can be also be engraved, assuming that the base item has a possible engraving.

To Engrave a UT, the engraving slot must first be unlocked for 1750 Purple Dust (), after which, any engraving that the UT can recive can be applied free of charge. Be warned, applied Engravings CAN NOT be undone.

Below is the current list of Engravings, and the items it can be applied to.

History

This mechanic was first described in the April 16th, 2021 Producer’s Letter, said to be released in 2021, but due to balance-related issues, the concept was scrapped and forgotten about.
Enchanting came back a year later, reworked and rebalanced, and after a few sessions on the Testing Server, was finally introduced (partially) in Exalt Version 3.4.1.0 (July 2023).
Exalt Version 3.4.1.0 (July 2023) introduced the Enchanter, Kogbold Engraving Collection, and MotMG 2023 Engraving Collection.
Exalt Version 4.0.0.0 (Aug 2023) introduced tiered equipment enchanting and the Advanced Nest collection. However, the Advanced Nest collection wasn’t available till August 15, 2023, coinciding with the proper release of the Advanced Nest. In that version, Green Dust also started dropping in every Exaltation dungeon.
Exalt Version 4.1.0.0 (Dec 2023) Enchantments were overhauled due to community feedback, going from a open slot based system in which players had to pay dust to upgrade, to a more random system, which removed the upgrade costs, but made item enchantments more random in nature

Trivia

Items dropped prior to Exalt Version 3.4.1.0 (July 2023) won’t have any enchantment slots available.
The Enchanter uses a sprite resembling Daevas from MotMG 2021.
Unobtainable Engravings from the Enchantment rework such as Onhit Invisible have the “Engraved” gear prefix.
