Minecraft Dungeons possesses a wide assortment of enchantments that players can affix to their weapons and armor, but the game also allows experimentation and sometimes heroes simply need to remove their enchantments and try other ones.

Certain items come with built-in enchantments, but many others are invested into with enchantment points that are provided to heroes when they level up in Minecraft Dungeons. However, getting them back can be tricky. Players shouldn't be too worried when they're first starting out, but veteran high-level players should be more tactful with their enchantment point use, as reclaiming them or removing enchantments from gear can set a player back slightly.

Enchanting in Minecraft Dungeons: Reclaiming enchantment points and removing enchantments from gear

In Minecraft Dungeons, weapons and armor can have up to three total enchantment slots. Heroes can then invest their enchantment points into enchantments placed on their gear to increase their effect. However, once these points are spent, reclaiming them will be required before they can be used on other equipment. As one option, players can use the salvaging system to scrap the gear and receive resources and enchantment points. Heroes will need to unequip the desired gear and then select it for salvaging, which will return their enchantment points and provide them with an emerald bonus, but it will destroy the item in the process.

The other means of reclaiming enchantment points is via using the upgrade function of the blacksmith at the hero’s camp. By handing over their gear and paying a sum of emeralds to the blacksmith in Minecraft Dungeons, players can receive an upgraded piece of that gear after undertaking three missions. This method is useful in Minecraft Dungeons because it preserves the gear (the blacksmith will return it in its unenchanted form) and returns all enchantment points used on it before being upgraded. This means heroes are free to use their enchantment points while they wait for their upgraded (and unenchanted) piece of gear to be ready for them. This not only “cleanses” a piece of gear of any unwanted enchantment effects, but it also allows the reallocation of enchantment points. Simply put, it’s a win-win in most cases.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to player choice in Minecraft Dungeons. Some heroes may prefer the emerald bonus from scrapping gear, while others are willing to go without a beloved item for a few dungeon delves while they wait for its return from the blacksmith. With players receiving so much loot and many new enchantments on their adventures, enchantment points are finite. Using them wisely will keep heroes alive and thriving in the later stages of Minecraft Dungeons' difficulty modes.
