Training with the Enchantsmith is the quest that unlocks enchanting. An Evoker has stolen three enchantment books; you recover them, survive an ambush and defeat the Evoker in a dungeon, then the Enchantsmith stays open as a vendor. Use the Blacksmith for item power and item-effect rerolls.

Training with the Enchantsmith: how to unlock enchanting
The quest becomes available after the opening quests. Speak to the Enchantsmith: an Evoker has stolen three enchantment books, and getting them back unlocks enchanting for good.
Guides agree on the three books: the Book of Healing Smite, the Book of Piercing and the Book of Ancient Alchemy. The last one is inside a dungeon, where you face an ambush and must defeat the Evoker before leaving. The two written walkthroughs disagree on the order. In one launch-day recording, collecting the book from a chest sets off the ambush, the Evoker’s boss bar appears during it, and clearing it changes the objective to Leave the dungeon.
Return to the Enchantsmith to finish. It then stays available as a vendor: apply enchantment books to compatible gear, and spend Echo Shards to raise the Enchantsmith’s level for higher tiers. Kingy has not played the quest; XboxPlay’s walkthrough has the most detailed route, including how it found the dungeon entrance.

Payment and the demo examples
Xbox Wire reports paying with currency dropped by Soul Corrupted enemies. Its preview also discusses combining more frequent dodge rolls, arrows fired on rolls and fire effects on arrows. The report does not provide a complete recipe with final item names or costs.

Can you remove an enchantment?
Mojang’s tier III screenshot shows a Disenchant control. That confirms a displayed option, not the amount returned or whether every enchantment follows the same rules.
