As players progress through Minecraft Dungeons 2, they will encounter Enchantment Books, some offering familiar effects from the original Minecraft and others introducing new abilities exclusive to the Dungeons series. To utilize these valuable items, players must first unlock the Enchantsmith, a crucial NPC who appears on the map shortly after completing the "Training With the Enchantsmith" story quest. This quest typically triggers around level 15, though the exact level may vary based on player exploration and quest completion. Enchantsmiths are situated in most major game areas, including a convenient location near the respawn teleporter in Brave Haven.
Interacting with the Enchantsmith is the key to applying enchantments to your equipment. Upon leveling up, players gain Enchantment Points, which, along with Echo Shards, are consumed to apply enchantments. Enchantment Books can be used multiple times to add their effects to gear. It is important to note that different pieces of gear support different sets of enchantments.
To enhance the potency of these enchantments, players can upgrade the Enchantsmith's merchant level using Echo Shards. This upgrade allows for stronger enchantments, which can be improved up to a maximum of level three. Echo Shards, a valuable in-game resource, are acquired by defeating challenging soul-corrupted mobs scattered throughout the world. While Echo Shards have various uses, redeeming them at the Enchantsmith is one of their primary functions. For players familiar with Minecraft, Echo Shards can also be found in the perilous Deep Dark biome, though encountering the Warden presents a significant risk.
