Engravings are modifications used in Greece during the 5th century BCE. These engravings were added to existing weapons or armor by Blacksmiths, which resulted in better performance.
Engravings were often unlocked by specific proceedings, like killing enemies with a certain weapon type, defeating leaders, defeating Spartan and Athenian soldiers, amongst others. Legendary engravings were unlocked by finding the weapon or armor that had the engraving.
Normal engravings could be upgraded to level 5 by doing these specific actions. The blacksmith Hephaistos' Workshop could upgrade the engraving further up to level 10.
During the Peloponnesian War, Spartan misthios Kassandra often engraved her weapons and armor.[1]
List of engravings[]
Engravings can be unique to a certain armor or weapon type, or can be added on several. Bonuses given by engravings stack, unless the engraving is legendary. It is not possible to engrave an item with the same stat buff that it already has (e.g. you cannot add a Total Armor bonus engraving on an item that already has it naturally), unless the engraving is an Assassin/Warrior/Hunter Damage bonus that has been leveled up to level 8 and past at Hephaistos' Workshop.
