Each tier costs one echo shard plus enchantment points: 3 for tier I, 5 for tier II, 7 for tier III, so taking one enchantment to tier III costs 3 echo shards and 15 points in total. Enchantments cap at tier III. The gamescom preview build priced the step to tier II at 1 emerald and 5 gold instead.

Five upgrades priced on screen in emeralds. The spread is wide for the same +2 step: 62 for a Rare, 72 for a Common, 182 for a Unique, so cost tracks something beyond the number of levels bought. Preview-build economy figures, and the first ones published anywhere.
Item Power is capped by Hero Level
A favourite weapon can last the whole game, but it only climbs as fast as your hero levels.
Re-rolls unlock at Merchant Level 3
Upgrades work from merchant level 1. Re-rolling an item's random effects cannot be undone.
The order to do it in
Blacksmith: raise Item Power with emeralds. Blacksmith level 3: re-roll effects. Enchantsmith: raise enchantment tiers.
How gear works
The gear system carries the loot-driven structure of the original but restructures how a character is assembled. The biggest change is armor: instead of one set filling a single slot, four individual pieces are equipped separately.
The Xbox Wire hands-on demo showed one melee weapon slot, one ranged weapon slot, three artifact slots, four armor slots and three talisman slots. Artifacts remain active abilities, while talismans provide passive bonuses.
The preview also showed a bone-shaped talisman that summoned a dog companion and a weapon enchantment that could create regeneration zones after kills. Their final names, statistics and rarity tiers were not published, so the item database remains intentionally empty.
