Minecraft Dungeons: Best Enchantments - Weapons, Armour, Gear, Salvage Points & More

Minecraft Dungeons is set to introduce a new direction to the iconic series, with an RPG experience centred around fighting mobs and grinding for gear.

In Mojang’s upcoming hack-and-slash spinoff, you will be able to enchant all your weapons and armour and give your gear special abilities.

As you collect better gear, you’ll also be able to salvage your old items to earn back any enchantment points you spent on it - but we'll cover that at the end.

PROTECTION: Armour enchantments are arguably more important than any offensive enchantments

It’s best to do this at the main camp and not while you’re mid-level, so you don't get blindsided by a group of marauders.

Cowardice

While you are at full HP, you deal increased ranged and melee damage.

Health Synergy

When activating any artefact, you regain a small amount of health.

Fire Trail

Rolling creates a trail of fire behind you, which deals damage to mobs for four seconds

Deflect

Grants a small chance to deflect incoming projectiles.

Explorer

For every one hundred blocks explored on the map, you regain a small amount of health.

Speed Synergy

When activating any artefact, you gain +20% movement speed for a short time.

Surprise Gift

Whenever you use a healing potion, you sometimes create random consumables.

Salvage Enchantment Points

Every time you level up, you’ll get an enchantment point.

From your inventory, you’ll spend these points to unlock (random) perks on your armour and weapons.

And you don’t have to horde these points waiting for better gear!

When you salvage a piece of enchanted gear, you’ll get some emeralds and all of the enchantment points back.

That means you can swap out gear and immediately enchant it.
