So I've been busy building up enchants, and now I need some advice as the best places to slot them. I've played around with moving enchants around, but am left feeling unsatisfied with my results. Where do you slot your enchant types?
sounds like you just reaarranged whatever enchantments u may have into different slots in your armor. basically changing nothing. you need to slot enchantments toward a certain stat.

Generally, you want radiants, azures and darks, depending on your class. Until you get Fey Blessings and/or Dragon Hoards, darks are king for utility slots. All 3 are good in offense or defense.
Before 60 you should just collect and refine whatever you have, since your stats and gear keep changing. After 60, look to see which stats need boosting.
Not sure I can recommend fey blessings. The enchants you get are bound so take up more space, whereas dragonhoards will be your main source of rp so in total have less of an inventory issue. Also you get 270 match bonus from fb compared to a rare 100 minimum, but more likely 500 at the low end, and up to 10,000 rp from dragon hoards, with 2500 rp being pretty common.

Good advice, thank you. Darks seem harder to find than most others. Does it matter if you use other types of enchants or runestones to build up am enchant, or should they stay pure?

They won't be "unpure", but you get less RP from different kinds.
I think Fey Blessings are good when you're leveling artifacts or enchantments. My Dragon Hoards feed my arti equipment.
Before you rush off to slot those enchants (which are costly if you keep reshuffling), several things you need to know first:
A) How many offensive slots vs defensive slots do you have in your current/future desired gears What stats distribution you wish to achieve (e.g. 2k Crit, 30k HP, etc), bearing in mind diminishing returns kicking in
C) Be mindful of the type of enchants you have access to, be it the dedicated ones (e.g. Azure, Dark, Silvery, Radiant) or enchants with a mixture of stats (e.g. Brutal, Cruel, Savage, etc)
Here are the general steps I take after taking into account the above:
1) Put on all your current gears and artifacts and see what stats distribution you've
2) Throw on the companions you like and see how they contribute to your overall stats distribution
3) Based on your pre-determined ideal stats distribution from (B) above, slot in the necessary enchants to attempt to achieve them
4) General consensus is to adjust stats with diminishing returns 1st and once those are hit, fill all remaining slots with Radiant enchants as Power/HP do not suffer from diminishing returns
This is an iterative process and you'll find yourself going through these steps as you acquire new gears, upgrade your enchants, get new pets, change your build, etc. Its more art then science.
