However, if every enchantment doubled in cost and the first on a weapon costs 5 gold, the 10th would cost 2560 gold, which can't be maintained on winnings of 500 gold per fight.

So weapon enchantment costs are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc. Armor enchantment costs are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. Therefore the enchantments on a +10 weapon cost 275 gold, and the enchantments on a +10 suit of armor cost 550 gold. Maintaining that +10 each round costs 50 gold and 100 gold respectively.

> Well, it's not Strength and Constitution upgrades we're talking about here. Those are far more expensive. The prices I listed are for simple enchantment bonuses -- raw plusses to attack or defense. Not bonuses to Str and Con stats. Chances are you knew that and just typed the wrong terms accidentally, but I thought I'd go ahead and make it explicit, just in case.

Yes, I know what you're talking about. Weapon and armour power and their enchantments just add to a character's Str and Con respectively, so I figured I'd just lump them all together.

I really did think that successive enchantments doubled in cost, the way the true upgrades do. That's one of the reasons I didn't invest in enchantments heavily enough to find out.
