Since the GM's have been so open about formulas and stuff lately, might we get a list of the difficulty of materials to enchant? I know it's been stated that mithril was the easiest magic metal to enchant, but what about the rest and various types of magical wood?

Below is a list of materials for weapons, shields, armor, bows, and runestaves, and their relative difficulty. The smaller the number, the more difficult it is to enchant. While some materials exist in many categories, their difficulty may be different (e.g. it's pretty difficult to enchant a wooden sword vs. a wooden runestaff).

I was always under the impression that holy, flaring and weighted weapons could not be enchanted further. Has that changed? I see feras and razern and eonake on the weapon charts.
"So, what does that green line on the graph represent?"
"Oh, that's the projection of a hypothetical offspring from a union between Sauron and Cruella de Ville; we use that as a baseline for determining character alignment."

Weapons of a holy nature can be enchanted with the aid of Eoveneh potions which are made through the alchemy system.

It definitely isn't -999 (I've had too many successes for that to the case) but I was wondering about this myself (given my multi-year stone dagger enchanting project). If I had to guess I would say stone is either -100 or -250.
Also wondering about Eonake shields (if not listed no penalty?). I've completed one Eonake shield to 7x and have another in the pipe.

I know ensorcelling results in an increase of difficulty, but does the tier of the ensorcel add to the difficulty, or is it just a flat ensorcel rate? Cause as I found out today, a t1 ensorcel seems to add an exceedingly large amount to the difficulty.

This list was previously posted, but it does not include veniom. Where do armor and weapons made of veniom fall?
Below is a list of materials for weapons, shields, armor, bows, and runestaves, and their relative difficulty. The smaller the number, the more difficult it is to enchant. While some materials exist in many categories, their difficulty may be different (e.g. it's pretty difficult to enchant a wooden sword vs. a wooden runestaff).

To my knowledge, veniom cannot be made into weapons or armor as the base material (or it shouldn't be!). Admittedly, I am no forging master so I guess it is used as an adornment on weapons and armor to make them lighter, or weightless.

http://www.play.net/gs4/info/armory/materials.asp#Veniom
"Type: Weapon, Armor"
Veniom has always been a strange material, some places like alter 9 say it's so thin and light it crumbles easily, other places say it's a true metal which contradicts alter 9. I believe Wyrom said he would be updating alter 9 to no longer mention the crumbling easily part, because it makes no sense.
There are sets of armor out there that inspect as veniom, they're very old and exceedingly rare. I know that it has been enchanted, because they were base 4x and I've seen them in 5x and 6x versions. I assume the material difficult is 0, but I was hoping to confirm. I hope I don't regret my request and this somehow turns into a stealth nerf of -999 difficulty. Even though nothing stated about the material says it would be more difficult, or impossible to enchant.

If I had to guess from the 5 successful ensorcells I did on a set of veniom armor I'd guess -40. It seemed comparably difficult to the rolaren ensorcells I did of the same enchant.
