The Arcanaeum has taken a much more prominent stage with the release of Limit Break on heroes, and the new enchantments that they provide. As each hero is released, a new enchantment becomes available for your heroes’ gear to smite the enemy.
What is the Arcanaeum?
The Arcanaeum is directly to the right of your University. It must be unlocked, and once inside has three options.
- Enchant Gear
- Research Enchantments
- Reagent Inventory
What Benefits does the Arcanaeum Give Me?
Enchant Gear
Once you choose this option, all of your gear that is available for enchantment will be displayed. Choose the gear piece you wish to enchant. The enchantments available to you will show unlocked. Locked enchantments mean you either haven’t done the research for that one, or you need to Limit Break the hero associated with it.
Each Enchantment requires Reagents, which can be found in packs, monsters (if you have that skill), or special events. View your available Reagents under the Reagent Inventory tab.
All Enchantments are on a timer, they don’t last forever, so choose when you apply them wisely!
Research
The second tab within the Arcanaeum contains elemental and trap research, along with research for the enchantments not associated with Limit Break. Each increase in enchantment research increases its boost as well as the time that it lasts. Each research requires a specific flask and RSS.
Researched Enchantments
There are five enchantments to research within the tree. As stated above, each subsequent level increases the boost and time it will be effective.

Limit Break Enchantments
With the new Hero Limit Breaks, have come new enchantments. These are not researched within the Arcanaeum, but are unlocked at Limit Break for each hero. The more points in the Limit Break skill, the higher the enchantment boost. These enchantments allow gear pieces other than just the weapon to be enchanted.
These require enchantment specific reagents to craft. Monsters will drop these if the hero has Limit Break unlocked, and is active.
