Brave Haven is the hub town. Its Blacksmith raises item power for a fee and can re-roll equipment buffs. The Enchantsmith handles enchantments between adventures.
Enchant Books and Soul Corrupted enemies
Players find Enchant Books during adventures, unlocking effects the Enchantsmith can apply. Xbox did not specify whether books are consumed, restricted to particular gear or how many exist.

Minecart travel and quick-swap gear
A minecart network connects points on the Overworld map. Hold up on the D-pad to open a quick-swap inventory during couch co-op. A combined Effects and Enchantments screen lists the active effects from your gear.
