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. Fusion items are considered enhancive items for this purpose. Empty fusion items are treated as costing 9000 to recharge.
- Temporary Enhancements do not incur any extra charges.

Enchanting base cost: 2400
Heavy Padding: level 10
Additional cost per point of padding: 100
Total Cost: 2400 + (10 * 100) = 3400 premium points
