Question: according to your experience, do you think class plays a role when it comes to armour and weapons enchantment? I know it's a matter of luck and certain percentage of failure after +3 for weapons, for example, but still.
I tried to enchant Manticore gaiters to +4. 3 times failure.
I tried to enchant Crystalised bow to +4. First time success.
I tried to enchant Eminence to +4. First time success.
Weird luck I've got... lol
I tried to enchant my staff of life (D) to +3 but it crytilised into 1920 D Crystals (to my horror). Why? On the enchant scrolls it says it is safe up to +3.
If this actually happened you should have petitioned a GM right away. It is safe to +3. If it did break going to +3 the GM would have most likely replaced the weapon for you.

Were you watching the item or the system messages?
Because, if you weren't aware, the system messages report the item you enchanted and NOT the items current enchantment level. (Or the enchant level of the now successfully enchanted item.)
Thus you will see "+2 Sword of Expensiveness has been successfully enchanted." when the item reaches +3 and if you fail on the next attempt it will say your "+3 Sword of Expensiveness has evaporated.".
I didn't have more than 3 scrolls so, definetely it crystalized after reaching +3. Any way I bought another weapon, enchant it again up to +2 and just left it like that. Lost 500,000 A in the process, but will use the crystal for BSps production so no prob. Odd though! Thanks for the reply. I am newby , what is a GM and how do you petition it?
/gm ingame for petitions. The weapon should have gone to +3 with no risk of crystallization, so it was either a bug or you went to +4. If it was a bug, /gm and get it sorted out.
If you open the Options menu (Alt-X in game) there'll be an icon of a little red light, that says "Petition" (I think, not IG now and don't remember the exact word).
Click that, follow the GUI instructions, submit your petition.
