Mastering the Arcane
Welcome to the comprehensive Apotheosis guide for Shadows of Aethro. Unlock the secrets of God-forged gear, infinitely adjustable spawners, and library magic that bends reality.
Enchanting
Vanilla enchanting is weak. Master Eterna, Quanta, and Arcana using Hell, Sea, and End shelves to reach level 100+.
Spawners
Automate everything. Turn simple spawners into high-speed mob farms using Sugar, Clocks, and Fermented Spider Eyes.
Adventure
Explore the depths to find Affix Loot. Gear comes in rarities from Common to Ancient. Socket gems to break stat limits.
The Library Calculator
In Apotheosis, 15 bookshelves aren't enough. You need to balance three distinct stats. Use the visualizer below to compare different shelf setups found on Shadows of Aethro.
Shelf Stat Balance Interactive
Eterna (Level)
Determines the actual level of the enchantment table. Max level is usually 100%. Higher Eterna = Higher Level Enchants (e.g., Sharpness VII).
Quanta (Chaos)
Increases the variability of the enchantment process. High Quanta can give you vastly better OR worse results. It's the "Gambling" stat.
Arcana (Rarity)
Increases the number of enchantments and the chance for rare enchantments. High Arcana makes it easier to get "perfect" rolls.
| Shelf Type | Eterna | Quanta | Arcana |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bookshelf | +1.00 | 0% | 0% |
| Hellshelf | +1.50 | +2.0% | 0% |
| Seashelf | +1.50 | 0% | +2.0% |
| Endshelf | +3.00 | +3.5% | +3.5% |
| Rectification | N/A | -Variability | Stats x2 |
