Upkeep is the energy drawback associated with any maintained enchantment. The cost is 1/3 energy per second or one "pip" of energy regeneration.


Contents

[edit] Limitations

  • If you cannot afford the upkeep cost (and your energy reaches zero), the most recent maintained enchantments are cancelled until you aren't losing energy anymore (your energy will stabilize at zero) due to energy degeneration.
  • You can not maintain enchantments on distant allies (outside the compass range), as soon as their names are greyed-out in the party window or they become un-targetable, the maintained enchantment will be lost.
  • It is generally possible to mantain 10 enchantments + your energy regeneration. So, with Blood is Power, which can add +7 energy regen (at rank 18), to the normal caster regen of 4, you can maintain up to 21 enchantments. If any combination of effects would bring your pre-cap energy degeneration below -10, maintained enchantments will automatically be cancelled until your pre-cap energy degeneration is -10.

[edit] Notes

Certain skills (energy denial tactics) or weapon modifications can also cause energy degeneration; however, since it is not the same as having to pay an upkeep cost, none of these will fail to take effect if your energy is zero or less.
