Implementation Details

Problem

The disenchanting functionality was separate from the Prepare step, requiring users to manually disenchant items before preparing them for enchantment. Additionally, there was no clear indication of which items were ready for enchantment.

Solution

1. Added 'tags' field to EquipmentInstance type (src/lib/game/types/equipment.ts):

   • Added tags: string[] field to track item state
   • Initialized with empty array in createEquipmentInstance function

2. Modified Prepare step UI (src/components/game/crafting/EnchantmentPreparer.tsx):

   • Updated button text to show "Start Preparation — this will remove existing enchantments" when item has enchantments
   • Removed separate disenchant UI section
   • Consolidated disenchanting into the Prepare step
   • Shows warning when item has enchantments that will be removed
   • Shows "Ready for Enchantment" status when item is prepared
   • Disables Prepare button if item is already prepared

3. Modified Preparation completion logic (src/lib/game/crafting-slice.ts):

   • When preparation completes, enchantments are cleared (disenchanted)
   • Mana is recovered based on disenchanting skill level
   • 'Ready for Enchantment' tag is added to the item
   • Item's used capacity is reset to 0
   • Item's rarity is reset to 'common'

4. Modified Apply step (src/components/game/crafting/EnchantmentApplier.tsx):

   • Only shows items tagged 'Ready for Enchantment' in the equipment selection
   • Shows clear error message if user tries to apply enchantment to non-prepared item
   • Displays "✓ Ready" indicator next to prepared items

5. Modified startApplying function (src/lib/game/crafting-slice.ts):

   • Added check to ensure equipment has 'Ready for Enchantment' tag before allowing enchantment application

Files Modified

• src/lib/game/types/equipment.ts - Added tags field to EquipmentInstance
• src/lib/game/crafting-slice.ts - Updated preparation completion, startApplying, and startPreparing logic
• src/components/game/crafting/EnchantmentPreparer.tsx - Consolidated disenchant into prepare, updated button text
• src/components/game/crafting/EnchantmentApplier.tsx - Filter for prepared items only

Testing

• Build succeeds with npm run build
• Prepare step correctly shows warning and different button text for enchanted items
• After preparation completes, item receives 'Ready for Enchantment' tag
• Apply step only allows applying to prepared items
• Disenchanting is fully consolidated into Prepare step

Notes

• The 'Ready for Enchantment' tag is added only after successful preparation (not when manually disenchanting)
• Mana recovery from disenchanting during preparation is based on the disenchanting skill level
• The separate disenchantEquipment function is no longer called from the UI (consolidated into prepare)
• Build tested successfully
