Count unlocked slots, then count empty slots
Weapon progression opens enchantment capacity up to five slots. Capacity and free space are different checks: a gun with several unlocked positions may already have them occupied. Read its applied effects before deciding that a new item should fit. We would plan the final role first, then reserve space for the effect that makes that role work. Filling every early position with whatever is available can create a costly rebuild later. If an application fails, check the weapon's actual level, current effects and item type before assuming the game has rejected a valid upgrade.
Read the scroll limit and oil duplicate rule
The enchantment rules distinguish one active scroll from oils. Several different oils can share the available capacity, but duplicates of the same oil are not a way to repeat one desirable bonus indefinitely. A plan built around a scroll transformation should keep that single position available until the intended item is ready. The scroll finder helps identify a recipe; it does not increase the weapon's capacity. We would write down the proposed set before applying it, then check that every member has a different job and is actually compatible with the same gun.
Budget durability alongside damage and handling
Applied enchantments usually increase durability consumption when firing, while explicit exceptions can avoid that extra cost. Some scrolls also introduce their own wear modifiers. That makes the displayed maximum durability only one part of a longer-run calculation. A gun with more impressive shots can still demand more frequent repair or a shorter outing. Our recommendation is to inspect consumption-related wording as carefully as damage bonuses and carry a practical recovery plan. Do not turn a basic enchantment-count rule into a universal wear ceiling when a particular effect lists an additional multiplier.
Separate attachment removal from enchantment clearing
Ralphie's Weapon Workbench removes attachments for a fee and returns those removed parts. The Baptismal Font is the separate service associated with enchantment removal after obtaining it through Arthur. Current launch notes confirm that removing a scroll there also removes its stat effects. That supersedes advice built around keeping removed-scroll bonuses. Read the service's current wording before confirming a change. We would not budget either service as an unlimited free undo: removal, payment and recovery of the original loose item are different questions, and a rule about attachments should not be assumed to answer them for oils or scrolls.
Modify one layer before changing the whole gun
Keep a record of the starting gun and the first change you want to assess. If you change the scroll, caliber, several oils and handling attachments together, an uncomfortable result becomes harder to explain. We would begin with the layer that solves the largest problem, then decide whether another layer is necessary. Use the workbench planner as a checklist and retain the in-game card as the authority for the completed weapon. A planned build remains editable on this website; changes already committed inside the game depend on the relevant game service.
Keep enough flexibility for the next run
Reserve a replacement gun or the resources needed to obtain one before turning your everyday weapon into an experiment. An unused slot can preserve a future choice, especially when the missing scroll or oil is what would complete the intended role. After a successful outing, compare what the modification actually solved: fewer missed follow-up shots, less ammunition pressure or a more manageable encounter. These are useful observations without pretending to be a controlled damage test. Keep the combinations that solve a recognizable problem and review the ones that merely made the item card look busier.

Clear the next question.
Are scrolls permanently impossible to remove?+
No. The current references identify the Baptismal Font as an enchantment-removal service. The launch correction also removes the scroll’s stat effects. That does not make attachment removal and enchantment clearing interchangeable services.
Does a level-five gun automatically support any five modifications?+
Five enchantment positions do not override type restrictions, the one-scroll rule or the oil duplicate limit. Attachments and caliber conversion also have their own systems. Check each proposed change rather than count every kind of modification as the same slot.
