Even there, there are inconsistencies: the ‘crab’s claw’ ingredient cannot be enchanted, but others (feathers, eyeballs, antlers etc) must be. You can enchant a few helmets for a new look (transmog) – but doing so resets all the values, so an epic hat would lose all its magic and become a generic white item. There is also no consistency in whether the item is ‘hand-crafted’, ‘homemade’ or something else. You can make boots, chest-pieces, rings, and amulets, but not gloves, helmets (for the most part), or pants. Similarly, with weapons and armour, you can make a sword or a magical staff, but you can’t make a knife or a wand. You can craft minor strength, medium constitution or large perception, but no intelligence or dexterity – even though it’s possible to craft a telekinesis potion. You can find or buy medium and large fire resistance potions, but not craft.

For instance a ‘minor air resistance potion’ is 15%, while an ‘earth resistance potion’ is also 15%. Things that should be available aren’t, things that are, shouldn’t be, or are annoyingly inconsistent. Spells and items get renamed from patch to patch, or removed, or added. There are now several versions of the game (original, extended, PS4, etc), which doesn’t help writing a guide as they keep making changes – almost at random. That said, the developer in me wants to ‘rattle their legs’.
