Stumbled onto a fine steel axe with a name and lots of enchantments? If I craft this into a chain axe, will it keep the enchantments? Having crafted a ravager from raw materials it ended up with some bonus enchainments on it at the end? How did I do that? I have the no name expansion installed. Haven't got the diggle gods yet. But man am I looking forward to that pocket dimension. Dunno how you guys keep track of all the piles of stuff!
No, it won't. Not as of yet, anyway. Right now, equipment pieces used as crafting ingredients are used like that - just crafting ingredients. So whatever bonuses you have on them, they would be lost. And if it's about high-tier weapons, then it's pretty simple. Many of them have something called "artefact quality", and what this does is add a number of random bonuses when the item is crafted or "dropped" from a chest.
