==Additional Notes==

*Negatively enchanted items must be brought up to zero via normal means. For example: 500 points to bring a -10 item to -5, then another 500 points to bring -5 item to zero, then normal costs as described above.

*If the item has flares or special scripting (non-fluff), add 600 to the cost. If the item has padding or weighting, add (level padding/weighting) * 100 to the cost. If the item is a Defender item, add defender level bonus * 100 to the cost. If the item gives a bonus to TD, add TD bonus * 100 to the cost.

*[[Enchanting]] [[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.

*[[Resistance]] items with positive benefits cost 1000 points 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 points.

*Enchanting, Flaring, or Padding an [[Enhancive item]] costs the amount currently shown above, plus: ((Cost for [[Adventurer's Guild]] to Recharge item) * New Plus of item) / 250.

*Temporary Enhancements do not incur any extra charges.

==Precalculated Premium Benefit Costs==

===Adding Flares===

Options: [[Fire critical table|Heat]], [[Cold critical table|Cold]], [[Lightning critical table|Electric]], [[Acid critical table|Acid]], [[Impact critical table|Impact]])

*Flare 0x (+0) item = 300
*Flare 1x (+5) item = 600
*Flare 2x (+10) item = 900
*Flare 3x (+15) item = 1200
*Flare 4x (+20) item = 1500
*Flare 5x (+25) item = 1800
*Flare 6x (+30) item = 2100
*Flare 7x (+35) item = 2400
*Flare 8x (+40) item = 2700
*Flare 9x (+45) item = 3000
*Flare 10x (+50)item = 3300

''Note: Partial enchants round up''

===Adding Heavy Critical or Damage Padding===

*Pad 0x (+0) Armor = 1200
*Pad 1x (+5) Armor = 1700
*Pad 2x (+10) Armor = 2200
*Pad 3x (+15) Armor = 2700
*Pad 4x (+20) Armor = 3200
*Pad 5x (+25) Armor = 3700
*Pad 6x (+30) Armor = 4200
*Pad 7x (+35) Armor = 4700
*Pad 8x (+40) Armor = 5200
*Pad 9x (+45) Armor = 5700
*Pad 10x (+50) Armor = 6200

===Enchanting Item (Base Cost)===

*Enchant 0x to 1x = 300
*Enchant 1x to 2x = 600
*Enchant 2x to 3x = 900
*Enchant 3x to 4x = 1200
*Enchant 4x to 5x = 1600
*Enchant 5x to 6x = 2000
*Enchant 6x to 7x = 2400
*Enchant 7x to 8x = 2800
*Enchant 8x to 9x = 3200
*Enchant 9x to 10x = 3600

===Enchanting Item with Spikes, Flares or Scripts (non-fluff)===

*Enchant 0x to 1x = 900
*Enchant 1x to 2x = 1200
*Enchant 2x to 3x = 1500

*Enchant 7x to 8x = 3400
*Enchant 8x to 9x = 3800
*Enchant 9x to 10x = 4200

===Enchanting Padded Armor===

The cost to enchant padded armor is the [[#Enchanting Item (Base Cost)|enchanting base cost]] + (padding points * 100).

As an example, the premium point cost to enchant a set of heavy critical padded (HCP) armor with a current enchant bonus of +30 (6x) to +35 (7x) is:

Enchanting base cost: 2400<br>
Heavy Padding: level 10<br>
Additional cost per point of padding: 100<br>

Total Cost: 2400 + (10 * 100) = 3400 premium points

''Note: The terms padding level and padding points are used interchangeably.''

===Enchanting Claidhmore (New Style Only)===

*Enchant 0x to 1x = 5000
*Enchant 1x to 2x = 6000
*Enchant 2x to 3x = 7000
*Enchant 3x to 4x = 8000
*Enchant 4x to 5x = 9000
*Enchant 5x to 6x = 10000
*Enchant 6x to 7x = 11000
*Enchant 7x to 8x = 12000
*Enchant 8x to 9x = 13000
*Enchant 9x to 10x = 14000
