Revision as of 06:07, 1 June 2021

A Premium GemStone IV subscriber is awarded 100 Premium Points per month as a loyalty reward (often referred to as PPs). Current number of Premium Points on any account may be seen using PREMIUM START. These points can be used to purchase many different Premium Long-term Benefits. See the Benefits page for official descriptions of services. This page will maintain costs and various notes.

Points can be exchanged for services including scripted items, alteration scrolls, an autoscripter, lightening or deepening of one item, type-ahead lines, enhancive items, custom scripting, adding flares to armor, weapons, and armor accessories, enchanting services, adding critical or damage padding to armor and a society reset option.

Players often sell their PPs for silvers. In these transactions the purchaser will have to give the seller the item as well as silvers so it is imperative that the seller be reputable. The average conversion range is approximately 4,000-6,000 silvers per PP. Larger blocks of PPs earn more silvers per point than smaller blocks, as they will be used for rarer or otherwise impossible to get services.

The range provided is based on a consensus of players in June 2015 and is only meant to give a general idea, not a firm price.

Additional Notes

  • Always use PCALC to get an estimate on the cost.
  • 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.
  • 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 500 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) * 500 points.
  • Enchanting, Flaring, or Padding an Enhancive item will incur an additional premium point surcharge. The surcharge is: (Cost for Adventurer's Guild to recharge item) * (Enchant bonus of item) / 250. In the case of enchanting, the final enchant bonus of the item is used to calculate the surcharge, rather than the current bonus. Fusion items are considered enhancive items for this purpose. Empty fusion items are treated as costing 9000 to recharge. For instance, enchanting a set of +30 fusion armor without orbs to +35 would result in a surcharge of 1260 points, while padding or flaring the same set of +30 armor would result in a 1080 point surcharge.
  • Temporary Enhancements do not incur any extra charges.
  • Paladin-bonded weapons should not incur any extra charges, but may calculate as such. Include the fact that it is bonded in the scroll.

Functional Script Surcharges

Complex scripts include, but are not limited to, Ithziri armor, Voln armor, and NerveStaves and have a flat 1200 point complex script surcharge.

Everything else (functional) is considered simple and has a 600 point simple script surcharge.

Fusion is still treated as separate from other functional scripts (see Additional Notes above).

Troubleshooting

  • Not enough points. Use PREMIUM START to see how many points you have, and use the equations in PREMIUM 9 or PCALC to help you calculate. You may need to send a message to Sadie to confirm the point cost.
  • Once you've chosen WRITE ACCEPT, your item should be delivered in the next 10 minutes or so. If that doesn't happen, it's stuck and you need to ASSIST in game and speak with a GameHost or GameMaster.

Precalculated Premium Benefit Costs

Options: Heat, Cold, Electric, Acid, Impact, Vacuum)

  • Flare 0x (+0) item = 300

  • Enchant 8x to 9x = 3800
  • Enchant 9x to 10x = 4200

Enchanting Padded Armor

The cost to enchant padded armor is the 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
Heavy Padding: level 10
Additional cost per point of padding: 100

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

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

  • 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
