If you want to customize your gear in Minecraft Dungeons II, you will eventually need the Enchantsmith. This vendor lets you apply Enchantment Books to your equipment using Echo Shards and Enchantment Points, then unlock stronger enchantment tiers as you level up the Enchantsmith.
The catch is that the Enchantsmith is not immediately available. You first need to complete the Training With the Enchantsmith quest and recover a missing Enchantment Book from a dungeon.
Once the vendor is unlocked, you can start building a more customized loadout instead of relying entirely on the effects that happen to come with your loot.
Quick Answer
To unlock the Enchantsmith:
- Start Training With the Enchantsmith.
- Follow the quest to the dungeon entrance.
- Search the dungeon for the Book of Ancient Alchemy.
- Collect the book.
- Survive the ambush that follows.
- Defeat the Evoker.
- Leave the dungeon.
- Return to camp and speak with the Enchantsmith.
After that, you can use Enchantment Books on your gear.

How to Unlock the Enchantsmith
You unlock the Enchantsmith by completing the Training With the Enchantsmith quest.
The quest sends you into a dungeon to recover a missing Book of Ancient Alchemy. You will eventually have to survive an ambush and defeat an Evoker before you can return to the camp.
Once you complete the quest and return, the Enchantsmith becomes available as a permanent vendor.
Training With the Enchantsmith Quest
The quest begins by explaining that the town has recovered some Enchantment Books, but one is still missing.
The missing book is believed to be inside a dungeon opened by an Evoker.
Your first objective is to find the dungeon entrance.
Once inside, the objective changes to:
Search for the Book of Ancient Alchemy.
Work your way through the dungeon until you reach the book.
Collect the Book of Ancient Alchemy
When you reach the objective location, you will find the book on a lectern.
Interact with it to collect the Book of Ancient Alchemy.
However, the quest does not end immediately.
Survive the Ambush
Taking the book triggers an Ambushed! event.
The exit becomes sealed and enemy waves attack the party. You need to survive the encounter before you can leave.
An Evoker eventually joins the fight.
Defeat the Evoker
Defeat the Evoker and the quest moves to its final stage.
You can then leave the dungeon and return to camp.
After returning, the game introduces the Enchantment Books system and the Enchantsmith.
The Enchantsmith can then be used whenever you want to customize your gear.
What the Enchantsmith Does
The Enchantsmith has three important functions:
- Apply Enchantment Books to gear
- Level up the Enchantsmith using Echo Shards
- Unlock higher enchantment upgrade tiers
This makes the Enchantsmith different from the other equipment vendors in Minecraft Dungeons II.
You are not simply buying another piece of gear. You are using the Enchantment Books you have collected to change how your existing equipment works.
How Enchantment Books Work
Enchantment Books contain individual enchantments that can be added to your gear through the Enchantsmith.
As you explore the world and complete dungeons, you can discover additional books and add more enchantments to your collection.
Minecraft Dungeons II uses a personal enchantment library, giving you more control over the effects you want to use instead of depending entirely on random gear drops.
Once an enchantment is available, visit an Enchantsmith and select the piece of equipment you want to modify.
You then choose the Enchantment Book and pay the required Echo Shards and Enchantment Points.
How to Enchant Gear
Once the Enchantsmith is unlocked, the process is straightforward.
1. Choose your gear
Select the weapon or armor piece you want to enchant.
2. Choose an Enchantment Book
Select an available enchantment from your collection.
For example, Somersault I grants:
- 1 additional roll
3. Check the cost
Before confirming the transaction, the Enchantsmith shows the required resources.
For the demonstrated Somersault I application, the cost is:
- 1 Echo Shard
- 2 Enchantment Points
4. Confirm the enchantment
Confirm the transaction and the enchantment is added to the equipment.
The item will then display the new enchantment alongside its existing effects.
For example, applying Somersault I to Phantom Pants gives the armor an additional roll effect while keeping the armor's original properties.
How Much Does Enchanting Cost?
The exact cost can depend on the enchantment and the action you are performing.
For the demonstrated Somersault I application, the Enchantsmith charges:
1 Echo Shard + 2 Enchantment Points
After confirming the enchantment, the available resources decrease accordingly.
It is therefore worth checking the cost displayed by the Enchantsmith before confirming each upgrade rather than assuming every enchantment has exactly the same price.
If you are still building up your Echo Shard supply, our guide to Minecraft Dungeons II Echo Shards: How to Get and Use Them covers the resource and its other uses.
Do Enchantment Books Get Consumed?
No.
When you apply an Enchantment Book, the game explicitly states that you will keep the enchantment book.
This is an important part of the system because you do not have to treat every book as a one-time-use item.
Once you have obtained an enchantment, you can continue using the Enchantsmith system to apply and improve your gear without losing the book simply because you used it once.
How Enchantment Tiers Work
Enchantments have multiple upgrade tiers.
The Enchantsmith tutorial shows:
- Tier I
- Tier II
- Tier III
Somersault provides a clear example:
| Tier | Effect |
|---|---|
| I | 1 additional roll |
| II | 2 additional rolls |
| III | 3 additional rolls |
Higher tiers make the corresponding enchantment effect stronger.
However, you cannot immediately upgrade every enchantment to its highest tier. Your Enchantsmith level determines which higher-tier upgrades are available.
For example, after applying Somersault I, the Tier II upgrade can initially appear locked until the Enchantsmith has been upgraded.
How to Level Up the Enchantsmith
The Enchantsmith itself has a progression level.
At Level 1, you can use the basic enchanting functionality, but higher enchantment upgrades remain locked.
The demonstrated upgrade from Enchantsmith Level 1 to Level 2 costs 30 Echo Shards.
Leveling the Enchantsmith is therefore an important part of progressing the enchanting system.
If you are deciding whether to spend Echo Shards on vendors or save them for enchanting, remember that Echo Shards have several uses throughout the game.
You can also check our Minecraft Dungeons II Town Merchant guide for information about the Town Merchant's separate progression system.
How Enchantment Points Work
Enchantment Points are another resource required when applying enchantments.
You gain Enchantment Points as you level up.
For example, reaching Level 13 unlocks another Enchantment Point, and another point is unlocked when reaching Level 14.
The Enchantsmith then consumes these points when you apply an enchantment.
In the demonstrated Somersault I transaction:
- Before enchanting: 13/13 Enchantment Points
- Cost: 2 Enchantment Points
- After enchanting: 11/13 Enchantment Points
This makes Enchantment Points a separate progression resource from Echo Shards.
Echo Shards are a currency you can spend, while Enchantment Points are tied to your character progression.
Enchantsmith vs. Blacksmith
The two smiths serve different purposes, so it is important not to confuse them.
Enchantsmith
Use the Enchantsmith when you want to:
- Apply an Enchantment Book
- Add an enchantment effect to gear
- Upgrade enchantment tiers
- Level up the Enchantsmith
Blacksmith
The Blacksmith is focused on the equipment itself, including increasing its power and changing built-in equipment buffs.
A simple way to remember the difference is:
Want to change an enchantment? Use the Enchantsmith.
Want to improve the equipment's power or built-in properties? Use the Blacksmith.
What Does Disenchant Do?
After applying an enchantment, the Enchantsmith interface also provides a Disenchant option.
This gives you a way to manage an enchantment after it has been applied to equipment.
The exact result and resource return from disenchanting should be checked in-game before assuming that it refunds the original Echo Shards or Enchantment Points.
Tips for Using the Enchantsmith
Don't spend every Echo Shard immediately
Echo Shards are useful for several progression systems, so keep some available rather than spending everything on the first piece of gear you find.
Use enchantments on gear you plan to keep
If an item has a useful built-in effect and fits your current build, it can make more sense to enchant it than to immediately replace it.
Check the enchantment tier
A Tier I enchantment may be useful early, but higher tiers can provide substantially stronger effects.
Level the Enchantsmith
If an upgrade is locked, check your Enchantsmith level.
You may need to spend Echo Shards to unlock access to higher enchantment tiers.
Remember that books are retained
You do not lose the Enchantment Book simply by applying its effect to an item, so don't avoid experimenting because you think the book will disappear.

Final Takeaway

First, complete Training With the Enchantsmith to unlock the vendor. Then collect Enchantment Books from your adventures, use Echo Shards and Enchantment Points to apply their effects, and level up the Enchantsmith to unlock stronger enchantment tiers.
The key thing to remember is that Enchantment Books are retained after use, so finding a useful book can become a long-term part of your build rather than a one-time upgrade.
