Utility slot

If I place an item in to a Helmet Utility slot, can I get the item back at a later stage? For example, if I get a better Helmet?

    Yes you can, but it will cost AS to get the enchantment back. The higher level the enchantment the more it costs to get back. Same if you want to upgrade an enchantment to the same piece of equipment.

    You can just drag the new enchantment over the old one. It'll destroy the old enchantment, but hey, you're upgrading anyway.

    So, how do I retrieve the enchantment? Do I need to see a special person to do this?

    Right click on the item on your character screen and choose 'Enchant this item' or something very similar.

    Overwrite every time , at lvl 60 the cost of removing enchantments from armor is ridiculous , infact it costs several times more to remove most enchants then it would cost to just buy a new one , silly system is silly...

    It depends on the type of enchant. Some of the more worthwhile chest and weapon enchants are worth more than the price to extract them. Always check when moving your more expensive enchants, just in case it can save you a little money :)

    Well yeah , I mean lvl 6 or 7 and below and not the weapon and chest ones , I was meaning the regular ones at lvl 6 or 7 and below in most cases xD.

    Anything below Rank 7 simply overwrite.

    At Rank 7 and above, it depends on the enchantment. Darks you always want to extract because ArPen enchants are worth the most out of all of the "normal" enchantments and it's more cost/time efficient to extract, then Azure or Radiant depending on your class/build. Silvery isn't worth extracting at any rank below 10 since they are extremely common.

    Weapon/Armor enchantment slots or Tenebrous: Always extract.

    I admit that it is not obvious and that is somewhat curious and not a little sinister.

    Back when the game was first being introduced to the world though conventions and YouTube coverage, the designers spoke at length about “sinks” as a way of controlling people’s resources. For example potions as a gold sink. And I wonder if the line between the legitimate “everyone needs this” resource sink and the “trick them into spending because they are stupid” resource sink is being blurred.

    Is it intentionally misleading? You get windows telling you all about the amount of AD it will cost to remove something and when you use the convenient button to find another enchantment in your pack it only gives you the option of spending your AD. If you want to overlay the previous enchantment you have to get out of that system altogether and drag the new enchantment over manually.

    I suppose it’s possible that the development staff just failed to include a method for overlaying the enchantment via the button. Given the amount of other things that they missed, got wrong or outright failed to consider, it does offer some plausible deniability.

    But it seems nefarious and will doubtlessly cost many more people many more AD.

    Unfortunately, fooling some of the people some of the time has become the new development standard.

    You shouldn't be putting anything into your gear that you might want to extract unless you're L 60 with purple gear. You change equipment so fast while lvling it doesn't make much sense to use anything more then rank 1 or 2 enchants...unless you just have stacks of rank 3 and 4s.

    Not to mention your pack gets so full that many people end up vendoring any level 1 or 2 enchantments at end-game anyway.

    You... know that you can turn four lv 2 enchants into a lv 3, right? o.O

    Right click and take the option to fuse them. No-one with an above room-temperature IQ vendors the low level enchants.
