Negatively enchanted items must be brought up to zero via normal means. For example: 500 pts to bring a -10 item to -5, then another 500 pts to bring -5 item to zero, then normal costs as described above.
TD/flares/padding/defender items use the same slot and there is a surcharge for enchanting TD boosters through premium points. The extra cost is (2*TD bonus)*100, similar to how the surcharge for enchanting padded/weighted items is calculated. Only the base enchant can be boosted, not the TD bonus.

Adamantine costs double the normal points.

Zelnorn carries the flaring surcharge. The new enchant will be based on the total AS + DS bonus and the +5 will be split between those qualities.

For [[TD]] boosting items only the base enchant can be increased, not the TD bonus.


For defender items, the defender bonus should be treated the same as TD as far as calculating the cost. The defender bonus prevents flares from being added.
For defender items, the defender bonus should be treated the same as TD as far as calculating the cost. The defender bonus prevents flares from being added.


Resistance items with positive benefits cost 1000 per 10% resistance (rounded up). For items with multiple resistance types, add the resistance bonuses before applying this factor. Thus, (Sum of Resistance Bonuses (offset for penalties) / 10) * 1000.
