The age of magic meets the age of machines—AetherTech has arrived! This brand-new enchantment rarity is exclusive to The Facility and brings a high-tech twist to PvE combat, progression, and enchant customization.

How AetherTech Works

AetherTech introduces a new rarity tier of Enchantment Gems, Socket Expanders, and enchant mechanics, available only within The Facility.
These enchantments can only be revealed using the Golden Forge, which requires both Player EXP and Science Gold to activate.
AetherTech Enchantments are applied exclusively to AetherTech Sockets. No other enchant tiers are compatible with these sockets.
Players may not place AetherTech Gems into standard sockets, and standard enchant gems cannot be applied to AetherTech slots.
Gems are categorized by tier (Minor, Major, Perfect), and examine costs scale based on tier and rarity.

Science Gold Satchel

AetherTech Enchantments draw power from Science Gold, a new resource collected and stored using the Science Gold Satchel.
This satchel is available from the Tier 2 /science Shop for 3x Science Blocks.
To activate enchantments in combat, players must have a satchel equipped and toggled ON in their off-hand.
Shift-Right Click the satchel to toggle power status.

Unlocking AetherTech Enchantments

AetherTech Enchantments cannot be found through traditional enchanting methods.
Instead, players must interact with the Golden Forge in The Facility to reveal a random enchantment.
The Forge consumes:
- Player EXP (amount varies by gem type)
- Science Gold (costs scale by tier/type)
Once revealed, the enchantment may be applied to compatible gear if it has an AetherTech Socket.
