How to unlock the Enchantment Overload achievement in Torchlight - Definitive Guide

Simple as that - you can get the enchantments from Goren - he is in the middle of the Torchlight town. Walk to him with about 30k gold and start enchanting any item you want. As it is as random as it can be it all depends on luck, but you can help your luck. Do it one enchantment by one, not two or three in a row. If the enchantment goes right - Exit to title (not dashboard!) - you will save your game. If it goes wrong - exit to dashboard (without saving). Do so every time till you get your achievement - took me no more that 10minutes.

As THEICEMANCOMETH noticed - keep in mind that the cost of each enchantment increases each time, as does the chance that it will fail or do nothing, which is the same as a fail. Big thanks for the tip.

Great tip on the exiting to save. I was on 7 or 8 enchantments (and it only counts the ones you add, not the total from whatever enchantments were on the item beforehand) with a total of 12, and then got a fatal miss were it disenchanted everything =)

Great guide, but you might also want to put a note in there to say that the cost of each enchantment increases each time, as does the chance that it will fail (or do nothing, which is the same as a fail). Great guide - thank you!

Thanks a lot, this netted me the achievement. Failed it and blew 40,000 before checking this guide, gutted!

Adding sockets also count toward the enchantment counter. I had this unlock when I added a socket to an item (very nice boots now too).

If you're trying to do it and don't really care which item you use, use a copper ring. By the 10th enchantment, I was only at 1050 gold and a 22% chance on the 11th enchant. So, cheap and easier.

Thanks for the advice. I took one of my Yellow items and enchanted it up to a monster of a weapon. Worth the money to invest. Thanks again.

Went from 3 to 8 without a problem, then next two gave no results, then three more enchantments in a row.

Wish I would have done a more static option like a ring, but I have one beast of a weapon going into the final levels. I saved up 90k without anything else to spend it on; turns out I never had to buy stuff from stores.

Thanks and thumbs up

The Enchantment wells inside the mine count for this too. I used the wizard to enchant my weapon 5 times, then ran through some levels and used 2 wells. Then did another 3 enchantments with the wizard and the achieve popped.

Note that having "nothing happen" doesn't disqualify the achievement (only disenchantment does). The only thing you've lost is money.

So am I trying to get 10 enchantments in a row or am I basically getting an achievement for maxing out a weapon?

Amazing guide! Got so unlucky on 26% disenchant 6 times in a row.

Anyone looking for an "easy" way to do this, follow these steps:

1. Get a weapon you want to use for a while (I suggest a Gold one) and have a lot of money. Enchanting a single item multiple times will get pretty expensive. Upwards of 3-4k each enchant.

2. Go to the town Waypoint gate.

3. Go to any dungeon Waypoint.

4. Go back to town through the Waypoint. It has now Autosaved.

5. Go to the Enchanter and enchant you item. This is up to you how many time you want to try enchanting at once.

6. Once you've enchanted enough times to your liking, repeat steps 2-5. This will save your newly acquired enchantments.

If you happen to lose all enchantments or get a socket (I don't know if these count as "enchantments"), just quit out to the dashboard and it WILL NOT save and quit. When you load the game back up, it will load the last time you entered the town from Waypoint portal.

Pretty easy. More of a hassel than anything.

I was getting frustrated.. coming so close... just to lose it all, that is until I read your guide. Traveling in and out of the waypoints... AND using the enchantment shrines are what helped speed things up for me. Thanks for the "easy" way.

The 'Enchanted' achievement unlocked for me with the addition of a socket. It seems these do count as enchantments.
Thanks for the guide.

I had one say it didn't do anything but achievement unlocked on the next successful enchantment. They may not count but it looks like they don't reset the counter.

If you just want the achievement the best way to do it is to go back into level 1 of the mine and get a level 1 item. The cost of each enchantment will still go up each time you successfully enchant but it starts much lower so it will cost you less gold overall. I used a level 1 staff and even after enchanting it 9 times, having all the enchants get stripped, and doing it again up to 10 enchants it cost me 12k gold. If I had done the steps mentioned above to skip any unsuccessful enchants/enchant removals it would probably have only bee about 7 or 8k gold.

You can get the achievement by enchanting the same item every time you encounter a shrine of enchantment. There are some in several levels in the Shadow Vault (the additional missions after defeating Ordrak), and the odds of failure are half those of the Enchanter guy in town. (source:http://torchlight.wikia.com/wiki/Enchanting_%28T1%29) Plus those shrines become active again after travelling through a few other levels, so if you can be bothered to do a bit of backtracking (e.g. when fetching particular embers for the old guy's quests), you can manage 10 enchantments with the 4-5 shrines available in the 15 first levels or so of the Shadow Vault. Just my piece of advice to those who plan to play the additional missions and want to avoid grinding this achievement.

In the main town there is an enchanter. He has a staff icon above his head and is on the right side in the middle of the area. Interact with him and you'll see a price to the left in yellow. You can enchant various items and that yellow number is how much gold it will cost you. If you look below, it shows a disenchant chance. That percent is showing you the chance it has to fail. This achievement will have you enchanting the same item 10 times. It does not have to be in a row, you can just spam until you receive the achievement. Afterwards, dashboard so you get all of your money back. It would be a good idea to have around 25,000 gold or more at minimum when attempting this. Pick the cheapest item as well. You can also feel free to dashboard on failure. Just enchant a few times, then go through a portal, come back, enchant more and if you fail just dashboard. Every time you go through a portal your game will save. This way you can have a really good item.

There are also a couple Enchantment Shrines in the game. They do not cost anything but are extremely rare. They look like the Health or Mana Shrines, except they are yellow.
