    1. Title: Can still enchant items after enchant failure
    2. Reproduction Rate:100%
    3. Blocker?No
    4. Details: I decided to try to make a new mace this weekend and I noticed something odd. After I fail at enchanting, the mace gets the -25 durability enchant failed property, BUT I can still continue to add enchantments. I did this on 3 maces in a row just to double check. (PS the master working fail appears to work correctly. After I fail to master work an item, it gets -25 durability and I cant masterwork it anymore.)

    @Alley Oop I could be wrong but my understanding is that a failed masterwork is supposed to prevent further masterwork attempts (working) and a failed enchant is supposed to prevent further enchant attempts (not working). Even if I am mistaken, there is something wrong with the current implementation since it is not consistent between the ability to continue to masterwork vs enchant.

    the quote specifically says you can continue to enchant and masterwork if it has enough durability. what's the durability of the mace you can no longer mw?

    I can still MW after a failure, as long as it has over 30 dura.

    I will have to check when I get home. I thought it was the same mace (with durability around 70) that I couldn't master work but could still enchant, but maybe I got my wires crossed.

    i suppose it's possible. if so, it'd be the carpentry mw recipe specifically that's bugged, not all mwing, and even so i think we'd have heard about it before now

    As long as it is OVER 30 dura you can both enchant and MW it :D Assuming you haven't hit the cap which is 5.

    I think it is unlikely and probably a misunderstanding, it seems to be hard set. But it we definitely want to know the specifics if that is indeed true.

    He said on test server, was a 8% chance at his level, and he got it.

    Yeah, that's a whole different ballgame then. It's not behaving that way for me on live. Thanks for clarifying!
