Trident Enchants
Trident Enchantments
Trident enchantments are special upgrades applied to tridents via Enchant Crystals.
Each trident can hold multiple enchants, and none of them conflict with each other.
Like the vanilla trident itself, the enchant pool leans hard into water, storms, and Riptide - both melee and thrown play are supported.
Enchant lines appear on the trident's lore between the separator lines, above the VortexArtifacts footer.
Rarity Tiers
Rarity controls how often an enchant shows up when rolling a crystal - weights are per-enchant, and higher rolls more often.
| Rarity | Roll Weight | Count |
| Common | 80 | 7 |
| Uncommon | 40 | 8 |
| Rare | 15 | 8 |
| Epic | 5 | 6 |
| Legendary | 2 | 3 |
Enchant Slots
There's only one trident - no material tiers - so every trident holds a flat maximum of 5 enchants. Rolling a crystal past the cap doesn't block it, but cuts the base success rate by 10% (only exactly at cap) - Crystal Dust can offset this, but never above the crystal's original base.
