Enchantment
Overview
Enchanting is used to improve equipment.
It can add:
- Attributes such as STR, STA, DEX or WIL
- Elements such as Fire, Earth, Water or Wind
Enchanting is useful, but it can also consume valuable materials. New players should understand the system before using rare Jewels or Elemental Stones.
There are two main enchant types:
| Enchant type | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Attribute Enchanting | Adds STR, STA, DEX or WIL to equipment | Tablet of Power adds STR |
| Elemental Enchanting | Adds elemental levels from +1 to +9 | Fire Elemental Stone adds Fire |
Every enchant attempt requires:
- one Jewel
- one Attribute Tablet or Elemental Stone
Materials are consumed when used.
For Attributes such as STR, STA, DEX and WIL, see the Stats page.
For gameplay effects such as Fireball, Meteor or Blizzard, see the Skills page.
Quick Beginner Explanation
If you are new, remember this:
| Material | Simple explanation |
|---|---|
| Jewels | Used during enchant attempts |
| Attribute Tablets | Add STR, STA, DEX or WIL to equipment |
| Elemental Stones | Add Fire, Earth, Water or Wind to equipment |
Simple rules:
- Do not waste rare Jewels on low-value or temporary equipment.
- For Attribute Enchanting, use the cheapest available Jewel if the attempt is guaranteed.
- For high-level Elemental Enchanting, save stronger Jewels such as Peridot and Iolite.
- For Guardian progression, offensive elements and useful stats are usually more important than defensive elemental enchants.
How to Obtain Enchant Materials
Enchant materials can come from the shop and from Guardian-related gachas.
| Material | Main source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Attribute Tablets | Shop / Guardian-related gachas | Tablets can be bought directly in the shop and can also appear in some gachas |
| Elemental Stones | Guardian-related gachas | Used for Elemental Enchanting |
| Jewels | Guardian-related gachas | Used during enchant attempts |
Important: Attribute Tablets are the only enchant materials that can also be bought directly in the shop. Jewels and Elemental Stones mainly come from gachas.
Gacha Sources for Enchant Materials
Several Guardian-related gachas can contain Jewels, Attribute Tablets and Elemental Stones.
Examples include:
- Machine Coin
- Dragon Set Boxes
- Divinity Set Boxes
- Black Scale Set Boxes
Some gachas exist in different variants, such as Red, Blue, Purple or Orange.
Because there are many variants, this page does not list every individual drop table.
For complete item and gacha comparisons, use a dedicated drop-rate page or the JFTSE Item Finder.
JFTSE Item Finder
The JFTSE Item Finder is a community tool linked by JFTSE that can help players compare equipment, gacha items and item stats.
It can be useful when planning:
- which equipment piece is worth enchanting
- which gacha may contain useful enchant materials
- which item has useful stats before or after enchantment
- which equipment fits a build goal such as STR, DEX, STA, WIL, Move Speed, Quickslots, Buffslots or HP

Note: Always compare important information with current ingame data if something looks outdated or inconsistent.
Jewels
Jewels are used during enchant attempts.
For Elemental Enchanting, stronger Jewels greatly improve the success chance.
| Jewel | Success value | Beginner meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Onyx | 7 | Very low success support |
| Moonstone | 15 | Low success support |
| Jasper | 24 | Medium success support |
| Spinel | 50 | Good success support |
| Peridot | 70 | High success support |
| Iolite | 100 | Best success support |
Important: Jewels are consumed when used.
For Attribute Enchanting, do not waste rare Jewels if the attempt is already guaranteed.
For Elemental Enchanting, stronger Jewels become much more important at higher levels.
Attribute Tablets
Attribute Tablets are used to add STR, STA, DEX or WIL to equipment.
| Tablet | Adds | Player-facing stat |
|---|---|---|
| Tablet of Power | STR +1 | STR |
| Tablet of Stamina | STA +1 | STA |
| Tablet of Dexterity | DEX +1 | DEX |
| Tablet of Wisdom | WIS +1 internally | WIL |
Note: The game data may use WIS internally, but the player-facing stat is WIL.
Attribute Enchanting
Attribute Enchanting adds STR, STA, DEX or WIL to equipment.
Each successful Attribute Enchant adds +1 to the selected Attribute on that equipment piece.
Attribute Enchanting does not use the same +1 to +9 level system as Elemental Enchanting.
Instead, the Attribute increases by 1 until the equipment reaches its maximum value for that Attribute.
Example:
A piece of equipment has 6 STR and can reach 9 STR. This means it can gain up to +3 STR through Attribute Enchanting.
Practical note: If Attribute Enchanting is guaranteed, use the cheapest available Jewel and save rare Jewels such as Peridot or Iolite for Elemental Enchanting.
Attribute Enchant Limits
Equipment pieces can have maximum Attribute values.
For example:
- STR and MAX_STR
- STA and MAX_STA
- DEX and MAX_DEX
- WIL and MAX_WIL
The base value is the Attribute value the equipment already provides.
The maximum value is the highest value that Attribute can reach on that equipment piece through Attribute Enchanting.
Important: These limits are equipment-specific. They are not a global character stat cap.
Elemental Stones
Elemental Stones are used for Elemental Enchanting.
| Stone | Element |
|---|---|
| Earth Elemental Stone | Earth |
| Wind Elemental Stone | Wind |
| Water Elemental Stone | Water |
| Fire Elemental Stone | Fire |
Elemental Enchanting uses levels from +1 to +9.
Eligible Equipment Parts
Not every enchant material can be used on every equipment part.
Attribute Tablets
Attribute Tablets can be applied to:
- Hair
- Body
- Pants
- Foot
- Cap
- Hand
- Glasses
- Bag
- Socks
- Racket
Elemental Stones
Elemental Stones can be applied to:
- Body
- Pants
- Foot
- Cap
- Hand
- Racket
Elemental Stones cannot be applied to:
- Hair
- Glasses
- Bag
- Socks
Elemental Enchanting
Elemental Enchanting adds an element to equipment.
Elemental levels go from +1 to +9.
Failed attempts up to +5 do not downgrade the current element level.
Downgrade risk starts when attempting +6.
| Target level | FailedPercent | Efficiency range | Downgrade on fail? | Beginner note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +1 | 5 | 0–5 | No | Safe from downgrade |
| +2 | 10 | 6–8 | No | Safe from downgrade |
| +3 | 20 | 6–11 | No | Safe from downgrade |
| +4 | 25 | 6–14 | No | Safe from downgrade |
| +5 | 30 | 6–17 | No | Last level before downgrade risk |
| +6 | 35 | 10–20 | Yes | Downgrade risk starts here |
| +7 | 40 | 14–24 | Yes | Riskier |
| +8 | 45 | 18–28 | Yes | High risk |
| +9 | 50 | 22–32 | Yes | Highest level |
Note: FailedPercent is used in the success calculation. It should not be read as the final fail chance by itself.
Success Chance
For Elemental Enchanting, the success chance is mainly determined by the Jewel used.
Elemental Enchants also apply a small level-based penalty.
Simplified formula:
SuccessRate = Jewel Success Value - current enchant level × (FailedPercent / 100)
The result is limited between 0% and 100%.
Example:
Trying to upgrade from +5 to +6 uses the +6 row.
With Peridot:
70 - 5 × (35 / 100) = 68.25%
With Iolite:
100 - 5 × (35 / 100) = 98.25%
Note: Always check the displayed ingame success rate before starting an enchant attempt.
Example Success Chances
The following table shows example success chances for Elemental Enchants with stronger Jewels.
| Upgrade | Spinel | Peridot | Iolite |
|---|---|---|---|
| +0 → +1 | 50.00% | 70.00% | 100.00% |
| +1 → +2 | 49.90% | 69.90% | 99.90% |
| +2 → +3 | 49.60% | 69.60% | 99.60% |
| +3 → +4 | 49.25% | 69.25% | 99.25% |
| +4 → +5 | 48.80% | 68.80% | 98.80% |
| +5 → +6 | 48.25% | 68.25% | 98.25% |
| +6 → +7 | 47.60% | 67.60% | 97.60% |
| +7 → +8 | 46.85% | 66.85% | 96.85% |
| +8 → +9 | 46.00% | 66.00% | 96.00% |
Failure and Downgrade
For Elemental Enchants:
- Attempts from +0 to +5 do not downgrade the current element level.
- Attempts from +5 to +9 can downgrade the current element level by 1 on failure.
Examples:
- Failing +4 → +5 does not downgrade.
- Failing +5 → +6 can downgrade the item from +5 to +4.
- Failing higher attempts can also reduce the current elemental level by 1.
Pushing beyond +5 is much riskier than reaching +5.
Drop Rate and Success Chance
Drop rate and enchant success chance are different systems.
- Drop rate tells you how hard it is to get the material.
- Success chance tells you how likely the enchant attempt is to work.
For real farming value, both matter.
A useful simplified formula is:
Expected Gacha Opens per Successful Enchant = Average Tries for Jewel / Success Rate
Example:
If Peridot has 50 Average Tries in a gacha and the enchant success chance is 68.25%:
50 / 0.6825 = 73.26
This means that, on average, about 73 gacha openings are needed to get enough Peridot for one successful enchant at that success rate.
Important: This only estimates the Jewel side. Elemental Stones and other required materials are also needed.
Understanding Average Tries
Some gacha tables use Average Tries.
Average Tries means the average number of gacha openings needed to receive the item once.
| Average Tries | Approx. drop chance | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 10% | About 1 item every 10 openings |
| 20 | 5% | About 1 item every 20 openings |
| 50 | 2% | About 1 item every 50 openings |
| 100 | 1% | About 1 item every 100 openings |
A lower Average Tries value means the item is more common.
A higher Average Tries value means the item is rarer.
Material Bottlenecks
Enchanting often depends on more than one material.
For Attribute Enchanting, the bottlenecks are usually:
- the correct Attribute Tablet
- the equipment's Attribute maximum
For Elemental Enchanting, the bottlenecks are usually:
- the correct Elemental Stone
- the Jewel
- downgrade recovery after +5
A good farming source should therefore be judged by more than one drop.
Example:
- If you already have many Elemental Stones but lack Peridot, farm a source with better Peridot rates.
- If you have good Jewels but lack Elemental Stones, farm a source with better Stone rates.
- If you need both, compare both material drop rates.
Recommended Jewel Strategy
There is no perfect strategy for every player.
It depends on:
- how valuable the equipment is
- how many Jewels you have
- how many Stones or Tablets you have
- how much risk you are willing to take
A useful general strategy:
| Goal | Recommended approach | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Attribute Enchanting | Use the cheapest available Jewel if the attempt is guaranteed | Do not waste rare Jewels |
| Temporary equipment | Use cheaper Jewels or skip serious enchanting | Save rare materials for better gear |
| Reach +5 Elemental | Spinel or better if possible | No downgrade risk yet, but weak Jewels can waste many materials |
| Push +6 and +7 | Peridot or Iolite | Downgrade risk starts when attempting +6 |
| Push +8 and +9 | Iolite recommended | High-level failures are expensive |
| Valuable equipment | Use stronger Jewels earlier | Reduces wasted Stones, Jewels and downgrade recovery |
Expected Attempts by Jewel Strength
The following values are approximate expected attempts based on the success formula and downgrade behavior.
They are meant as practical guidance, not as a guarantee.
| Jewel | Expected attempts to reach +5 | Expected attempts from +5 to +9 | Practical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onyx | ~77 | Extremely impractical | Not recommended for serious Elemental Enchants |
| Moonstone | ~34 | Very impractical | Only for expendable attempts |
| Jasper | ~21 | Very high risk / cost | Only if resources are not valuable |
| Spinel | ~10 | ~35 | Good for early levels, risky for high levels |
| Peridot | ~7 | ~10 | Good balanced option |
| Iolite | ~5 | ~4 | Safest and most efficient for high levels |
Practical conclusion: Very weak Jewels may look cheap, but they can consume many Stones, Jewels and attempts over time.
Practical Enchant Strategy
| Situation | Suggested approach | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Attribute Enchanting | Use the cheapest available Jewel if the attempt is guaranteed | Rare Jewels are more valuable for Elemental Enchanting |
| Temporary equipment | Avoid serious enchanting or use cheap materials | Save rare materials for better gear |
| Elemental +1 to +5 | Spinel or better if possible | No downgrade risk yet, but weak Jewels can waste many attempts |
| Elemental +6 to +7 | Peridot or Iolite | Downgrade risk starts here |
| Elemental +8 to +9 | Iolite recommended | Failures are expensive and can downgrade the item |
| Valuable equipment | Use stronger Jewels earlier | Reduces wasted Stones, Jewels and downgrade recovery |
Offensive and Defensive Elements
Elemental Enchants can affect elemental gameplay in two different ways:
- Offensive element – mainly comes from the equipped Racket.
- Defensive elements – can come from other eligible equipment parts.
The equipped Racket is used as the offensive element when it matches the element of the used skill effect.
Example:
- A Fire-enchanted Racket can support Fire-based effects such as Fireball, Meteor or Inferno.
- A Wind-enchanted Racket can support Wind-based effects such as Homing Soul or Magic Circle.
Other eligible equipment parts can contribute defensive elements and may help against incoming elemental attacks.
| Equipment part | Main elemental role | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Racket | Offensive element | Fire Racket supports Fire-based skill effects |
| Body / Pants / Foot / Cap / Hand | Defensive elements | Can help against incoming elemental attacks |
Important: Elemental attack is not only about having a high enchantment level. The element also needs to match the effect you want to support.
Elements and Skill Effects
Elemental attack only matters when the offensive element matches the element of the used skill effect.
| Element | Example skill effects | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | Fireball, Meteor, Small Meteor, Inferno | Common offensive element for direct damage effects |
| Wind | Homing Soul, Magic Circle | Useful for tracking pressure or area-control effects |
| Earth | Crab trap, Kiss of Medusa | Related to trap or control-style effects |
| Water | Blizzard | Related to water-based pressure |
For gameplay usage of these effects, see the Skills page.
Elemental Reactions
Elemental reactions determine whether an elemental attack or elemental defense is strong, weak or neutral against another element.
This matters because the same elemental enchantment can perform differently depending on the opponent's defensive element.
In simple terms:
- A Strong reaction means the element is favorable.
- A Weak reaction means the element is unfavorable.
- A neutral or empty entry means there is no special strong or weak interaction shown in the table.
| Element | Type | vs Fire | vs Earth | vs Water | vs Wind |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fire | Attack | - | Weak | Weak | Strong |
| Defense | - | Strong | Weak | Weak | |
| Wind | Attack | Strong | Weak | Weak | - |
| Defense | Weak | Strong | Strong | - | |
| Earth | Attack | Weak | - | Strong | Weak |
| Defense | Strong | - | Strong | Strong | |
| Water | Attack | Strong | Weak | - | Weak |
| Defense | Strong | Weak | - | Strong |
Attack describes how this element performs as an offensive element against another element.
Defense describes how this element performs as a defensive element against an incoming elemental attack.
Example:
- Fire Attack vs Wind is Strong.
- Fire Attack vs Water is Weak.
- Fire Defense vs Earth is Strong.
- Fire Defense vs Water is Weak.
This means choosing an element is not only about increasing the level of one enchantment. It also depends on what element you expect to attack or defend against.
Tip: If an elemental setup feels weaker than expected, the reaction table may explain why. A high elemental level can still perform poorly if the element matchup is unfavorable.
Note: Elemental reactions follow FT's own game logic and should not be assumed to work like elemental systems in other games.
Weak Reactions and Final Damage
A Weak reaction means that this specific elemental matchup is unfavorable in the reaction table.
However, the final damage is not always determined by one single table entry alone. The result can also depend on the full elemental setup, such as:
- the offensive element
- the defender's active defensive elements
- the enchantment levels involved
- how multiple defensive elements are combined
Because of this, a setup can sometimes behave differently than expected when looking at only one Weak entry.
Important: Do not judge an elemental setup only by a single Weak value in the table. The reaction table should be used together with the full offensive and defensive equipment setup.
Practical note: If your damage is higher or lower than expected, test the setup ingame and compare different defensive element combinations.
Defensive Element Stacking
Defensive elements can come from multiple eligible equipment parts.
This means a defensive setup can use more than one element at the same time.
For example, if an opponent uses a Wind-enchanted Racket, the reaction table shows that both Earth Defense and Water Defense perform well against Wind.
| Incoming attack | Defensive element | Reaction |
|---|---|---|
| Wind Attack | Earth Defense | Strong |
| Wind Attack | Water Defense | Strong |
Because of this, using both Earth and Water as defensive elements can be stronger than relying on only one of them, if both defensive elements are active on eligible equipment parts.
In practice:
- Earth Defense alone can help against Wind.
- Water Defense alone can also help against Wind.
- Earth + Water Defense together can provide better defensive coverage against Wind-based attacks.
This makes defensive element choice more than just picking one element. Players can combine defensive elements based on the attacks they expect to face.
Elemental Defense in Guardian Mode
Defensive Elemental Enchants are mostly relevant against other players.
In Guardian Mode, enemies generally do not use enchanted equipment like players do.
Because of this, defensive Elemental Enchants are usually not useful for reducing Guardian damage.
For Guardian, Elemental Enchanting is mainly useful offensively:
- Use an elemental Racket that matches the skill effects you want to improve.
- For example, a Fire-enchanted Racket can support Fire-based effects such as Fireball, Meteor or Inferno.
- Defensive elemental setups are much more relevant in Battle / player combat than in Guardian Mode.
Practical note: If your main goal is Guardian progression, prioritize offensive element matching and useful stats before investing heavily into defensive elemental enchants.
Practical Element Tips
| Situation | Practical advice |
|---|---|
| You want to increase damage with Fire skills | Use a Fire-enchanted Racket and check how Fire performs against the target's defensive element |
| You want to build around Homing Soul or Magic Circle | Wind enchantment on the Racket is usually the relevant offensive element |
| You mainly play Guardian | Defensive elemental enchants are usually not useful there. Focus more on offensive element matching and useful stats. |
| You want defensive elemental protection | Check which incoming element you want to resist and use the reaction table before choosing defensive elements |
| You are unsure which element to choose | Start by matching your Racket element to the skill effects you actually use most |
| Your damage feels lower than expected | Check whether the enemy's defensive element creates a weak or unfavorable matchup |
Common Enchant Mistakes
| Mistake | Better approach |
|---|---|
| Using rare Jewels on Attribute Enchanting | Use the cheapest available Jewel if Attribute Enchanting is guaranteed |
| Using rare Jewels on temporary equipment | Save strong Jewels for equipment you plan to keep |
| Using weak Jewels for serious high-level Elemental Enchants | Save Peridot or Iolite for higher levels |
| Thinking +5 failure downgrades | Downgrade risk starts when attempting +6 |
| Treating FailedPercent as the final fail chance | It is part of the success calculation, not the whole formula |
| Looking only at enchant success chance | Also consider how rare the Jewel and Stone are |
| Using Elemental Stones on the wrong equipment parts | Check eligible equipment parts before enchanting |
| Investing into defensive elemental enchants mainly for Guardian | Defensive elements are mostly useful against players, not Guardian enemies |
| Mixing Attribute Enchanting and Elemental Enchanting | Attribute Tablets add stats; Elemental Stones add element levels |
Recommended Beginner Approach
New players should avoid spending rare materials too early.
A simple beginner approach is:
- Learn which equipment is worth improving.
- Use Attribute Tablets carefully on gear you plan to keep.
- Use the cheapest available Jewel for Attribute Enchanting if the attempt is guaranteed.
- Do not waste Iolite on temporary equipment.
- Use cheaper Jewels only when the risk is acceptable.
- Be careful after +5 because downgrade risk starts when attempting +6.
- Save Iolite for valuable equipment or final high-level Elemental Enchant attempts.
- For Guardian, focus more on offensive element matching and useful stats than defensive elements.
- Compare both drop rate and success chance before deciding which Jewel to use for Elemental Enchanting.
