Enhancements

What an anvil can add to a mod or perk, and which items take which, read from the game's code.

How Enhancing Works

  1. An anvil names one Each anvil carries one enhancement and puts it, for crystals, on a mod or perk of yours that can take it.
  2. Up to 8 on an item They stack: the same one can come twice. An item that holds 8 takes no more.
  3. Random picks among the rest Evenly among those that fit the item, never Returning, Orbiting, Endangering, and only one element per item: an item with Flaming can get Flaming again, not Freezing.

Read from the game's code after each update: the per-item limit, the elements and what Random leaves out. Melee mods, relics and the other items are never enhanced. In the save editor a run's items show their enhancements, and the build planner takes them too.
