Premium Points FAQ:

When do I get my benefits?
As soon as you have enough points to spend for the item you choose.

Where do I pick up my benefits?
All benefits are available in Mist Harbor.

How do I know how many premium points I have?
PREMIUM START lists this information.

How do I know when my premium service started?
To check on your premium start date as our billing office sees it, type in PREMIUM START.  If there is a problem with your start date, you will need to contact the billing department.  A GM will not be able to help you with billing information.

How do the alterations work?
Alteration scrolls follow the policies outlined in the ALTER verb.

How do I use PCALC?
PCALC allows you to calculate the point cost for an enchanting, WPS, or flaring service (see cost lists below) for a specific item.  You must be holding an alteration scroll in one hand, with the item you wish to have worked on in the other.  You will then use one of the following:  pcalc flare /  pcalc enchant / pcalc wps

If you have enough points to get the work done that you want, PCALC will tell you how much the total cost is estimated to be.  If you do not have enough points, it will note that to you instead.  Bear in mind that if there are any costs that PCALC is not accounting for, the GM who handles your Premium Point request will apprise you of those costs at that time - PCALC is a tool, not a final word.  You will also notice that there is a 2 hour "real time" delay between each use of PCALC -- this is to prevent using the system in lieu of other in-game means to determine properties of an item.

See PREMIUM 9 for costs.

Alteration Scrolls Explained

The scroll alteration system is different than that of the typical merchant coming to town doing work.  You will not be in the same room with the GMs who are doing the services for you.  Instead, you will communicate with them through the alterer's scroll.  Once you get your scroll, you do not have to stay and wait for your work.  GMs will be doing these services (under the name of Sadie) in as timely a fashion as possible.  The average turn around time on requests is two weeks.  You will have to be patient.  Do not give your scroll to another character.  The best thing to do with your scroll would be to keep it in a safe place on your character.

IC Note:  Sadie will not be coming to the Isle of the Four Winds to do the Premium Plus alterations.  You will not get to personally meet Sadie, as she will be very busy working on the alterations.  However, you will be able to communicate with her through scrolls.  The scrolls will be available on a table in her room in the lighthouse, which is located on the Isle of the Four Winds, Mist Harbor.  You do not have to wait there for your service, and your item will not be taken from you during the process.  You will be informed when your item is ready.

How to use your scroll:
1. First you GET SCROLL, making sure the item you want to be worked on is in your *left* hand.  The system will see your item and make a copy so Sadie knows what the original item looked like.

Please note - The Sadie scrolls are used to request any service using Premium Points not found elsewhere in Mist Harbor.  See PREMIUM 9 for more details.

2. You will then WRITE a NEW request.  Example, WRITE NEW I want this broadsword to have rubies in the hilt or WRITE NEW I want a ruby-hilted broadsword with a show of: The broadsword is made of polished steel and... or WRITE NEW Please add acid flares to my broadsword.

3. The message is copied and stored for Sadie, so she may complete your request at her leisure.  At this time the scroll will still be in your possession.

4. Sadie has found your request and decided that what you wanted was well within the guidelines she works under, and therefore she has approved it.  She will send a message to you telling you so.  At that time you should READ your scroll just to make sure she did everything the way you requested.  If it is correct, you then WRITE ACCEPT.  The message that you accepted the alteration will be sent to Sadie, and she will then send a runner to you with your alteration.  At that time you must WRITE ACCEPT one more time.  The scroll will disappear from your hands and be replaced with your newly altered item!  Once you WRITE ACCEPT you no longer have the option of changing the item.  You cannot ASSIST to get something changed or fixed.  It's done!  You own it!  Don't even try!

5. If between the time you made your alteration request and the time Sadie got back to you approving it, you changed your mind about what you wanted (which Sadie highly discourages), you would then WRITE REPLY with a message.  Example: WRITE REPLY I changed my mind about the ruby hilt and would rather have a gold-hilted broadsword.  Sadie will get your message and then reply back to you if that is okay.  From here on the information in step 4 applies.

6.  If your alteration/service request is not okay, Sadie has two options.  She will either send you a message telling you the alteration is rejected, or she will send you a message telling you how she can make the alteration work with a few changes.  You then can communicate with her by WRITE REPLY (message).

Some examples:
Let's say Sadie is not happy with your request.  She will send you a message, and it will look something like this:
A runner approaches you and recites a message from Sadie, "I don't have enough veil iron to make your entire suit of armor out of it!  Let's keep it imflass like it already is.  You can READ your scroll for more details.  Please WRITE ACCEPT if this is okay, WRITE REPLY to respond, or WRITE NEW to start over again."
When the runner asks you to READ your scroll, it is because Sadie probably rethought your alteration for you, and she wants you to see if that is acceptable since she couldn't do your original request.

Let's say Sadie likes your request.  She will send you a message that will look something like this:

A runner approaches you and recites a message from Sadie, "I can do this work for you.
You can READ your scroll for details on how it will appear.  Please WRITE ACCEPT if this is okay.  To start over WRITE NEW."

After Sadie gets your approval (WRITE ACCEPT), she will then make the item.  When it is finished, you will get a message that looks something like this:

A runner approaches you and recites a message from Sadie, "I'm finished working on your armor.  You can WRITE ACCEPT it when you're ready for it."

Alter Scroll Commands:

A final look at the commands:
GET SCROLL: Allows you to get a scroll from the table.
READ SCROLL: Gives you information on how to use the scroll as well as showing you what your request looks like.
WRITE NEW: To put your alteration request on the scroll.
WRITE REPLY: To send a message to Sadie.
WRITE ACCEPT: To accept the alteration.

Reminder: Sadie's alterations follow the policies documented in the ALTER verb!
Reminder: Sadie scrolls are used to request any service using Premium Points not found elsewhere in Mist Harbor.  See PREMIUM 9 for more details.
Reminder: If an item is worked on in any way between submission and delivery, the item will automatically revert back to the state it was in at the time of submission with only the addition of the work done via the scroll.

>prem 9 variable
   Variable Cost Items:

   * These services should be requested via a Sadie Scroll, found in the Lighthouse
     in Mist Harbor.  See PREMIUM 10 for more information.

   Usage:
     Flares - Flare information.
     Enchanting - Enchanting information
     Padding - Padding information.
     Additional Surcharges - Additional surcharges for enchanting, flares, and padding services.


>prem 9 flares
   Common Flares (heat, cold, electric, vacuum, impact, mana (+2), or acuity (4x) - variable costs:
   Base cost is 300 + 300 per enchant + surcharges.  Partial enchants are rounded up.
      There is a cap of +2 for mana flares and 4x for acuity.
      If the item has a simple script (non-fluff), add 600 to the cost.
      If the item has a complex script (non-fluff), add 1200 to the cost.
      If it is a weighted item, add 20 * number of total weighting services to the cost.
      If it is a padded item, add 10 * number of total padding services to the cost.
      For additional extra costs, see information listed in the surcharge section.

   Uncommon Flares (disintegrate, disruption, unbalance, grapple, acid, plasma, steam) - variable costs:
   Base cost is 900 + 300 per enchant + surcharges.  Partial enchants are rounded up.
      If the item has a simple script (non-fluff), add 600 to the cost.
      If the item has a complex script (non-fluff), add 1200 to the cost.
      If it is a weighted item, add 20 * number of total weighting services to the cost.
      If it is a padded item, add 10 * number of total padding services to the cost.
      For additional extra costs, see information listed in the surcharge section.

   Items with a total weighting/padding over 150 services are not eligible for flares.


>prem 9 enchant
 Enchant - variable costs:
   Note that costs are calculated based off of an increase of +5 enchant.  For any lesser increments,   the calculated cost is adjusted accordingly.  For example: an increase of +1 enchant would be   calculated for a +5 enchant, then the resulting value would be multiplied by 0.2.
   When calculating costs, fractions are truncated 19 / 5 = 3.8 becomes 3.
   Base cost for enchants with starting enchants of +0 to +15 is: (300 + (300 * ((current plus + 4) / 5)))
   Base cost for enchants with starting enchants of +16 to +45 is: (1200 + (400 * ((current plus - 11) / 5)))
      If the item has flares, add 600 to the cost.
      If the item has a simple script (non-fluff), add 600 to the cost.
      If the item has a complex script (non-fluff), add 1200 to the cost.
      If the item has padding or weighting, add (combat impact 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.
      For additional extra costs, see information listed in the surcharge section.

   Exception:  New-style (only) claidhmores cost ((40 + 2 * new plus) * 100).
   Exception:  Adamantine costs double the normal points.
   Exception:  Zelnorn carries the flaring surcharge.  The "current plus" will be based on the total AS + DS bonus and the +5 will be split between those qualities.
   Exception:  Negatively enchanted items must be brought up to zero via normal means, where enchanting is done in increments of 5 and items are treated as if they are being brought from 0x to 1x in terms of enchanting base cost (note that any surcharges will still be applied and added to the base enchanting cost.)  For example, taking an item from -10 to -5 is 300 points for the base enchanting cost.  You could then take that item from -5 to 0 for another 300 points as the base enchanting cost.

   Defensive bonus (DB) and kroderine items are not enchantable with points.

   Enchanting Cost examples:
      Taking a normal weapon from 4 to 5x costs 1600.
      Taking a normal steel claidhmore from 0 to 1x costs 5000.
      Taking a flaring 9x weapon to 10x costs 4200.


>prem 9 padding
 Padding - variable costs:
   Cost is (3200 + (Enchant over 20 * 100)) + surcharges.
   Padding is rated "heavy" (150 services) and cannot exceed it.
      If the item has a simple script (non-fluff), add 600 to the cost.
      If the item has a complex script (non-fluff), add 1200 to the cost.
      If the item has flares, offensive bonus, or TD bonus add 1500 to the cost.
      For additional extra costs, see information listed in the surcharge section.
      For purposes of this system, any current padding in the item is ignored (IE: no discounts for lightly padded armor going up to heavily padded.)

 Example: Padding 4x armor is 3200 points, 10x is 6200.

>prem 9 surcharges
 Surcharge Information and Extra Exceptions:

   Resistance items with positive benefits cost 500 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) * 500.

   Enhancive items add ((Cost for Adv. Guild to Recharge item) * New Plus of item)/250 to the cost.

   Fusion items should be treated as if they were enhancive items that would cost 150k silvers (9000 bounty points) to recharge.  For example, a +25 Fusion item going to +30 would have a: (9000 * 30) / 250 = 1080 surcharge.  Or, padding a +25 fusion item would have a (9000 * 25) / 250 = 900 surcharge.

   Perma-blessed items incur a 600 point surcharge.

   Weapons with sighting/aiming do incur a surcharge dependent on the level of sighting/aiming.

   Temporary Enhancements do not incur any extra charges.

   Creature bane weapons will incur a surcharge based on the bane property.

   Permanently ensorcelled items (spell 735) will cost an additional 200 points per tier.

   Scripted items (non-fluff) are a flat 600 or 1200 points, depending on the complexity of the script.  (Except fusion - for fusion items, see above.)

However, you will be able to communicate with her through scrolls.  The scrolls will be available on a table in her room in the lighthouse, which is located on the Isle of the Four Winds, Mist Harbor.  You do not have to wait there for your service, and your item will not be taken from you during the process.  You will be informed when your item is ready.

How to use your scroll:
1. First you GET SCROLL, making sure the item you want to be worked on is in your *left* hand.  The system will see your item and make a copy so Sadie knows what the original item looked like.

Please note - The Sadie scrolls are used to request any service using Premium Points not found elsewhere in Mist Harbor.  See PREMIUM 9 for more details.

  |      ability to utilize Platinum Points to recover the item.  Points determined on a per      |
  |      item basis.                                                                              |
