You get xp from smelting as well (I have 3 double chests filled so far).

Xp price will drop, enchanted item prices will drop, e-repair price will go up.

It will all balance out eventually.

I don’t think the 1.3 update is going to treat our server well… The exp market basically won’t exist anymore is what I’m guessing will happen. Just think about it. You don’t need as much for higher level enchantments, and there’s very easy ways to get it, why would you buy any when you can get your own. Emeralds probably won’t have much worth after a bunch enter the market sense they really don’t have a use. (Why spend maybe a lot of money getting emeralds and trade for an iron sword while you could buy one for about 20 dollars now.) Even so I can’t wait for the update I’m just so curious to see what will happen. :D

 

For me the part I'm looking forward to is writing books XD

 

This will make a huge impact in my opinion, I mean, think about it!

1) Exp is easier, and faster to get. The enchant of exp and enchanted items plummet.

2) With the drop in the price of enchanted items, people have access to super enchanted tools, for example, eff V and unb 3.

3) While everyone has good enchanted tools, mining pumpkins becomes much, much easier, along with digging things out, etc.

4) (This is a bonus to people with ench repair, I guess) While everyone has the means to enchanted repairs people are going to need them a lot more often then they do not (at least I think).

In conclusion, will getting higher ranks be so much easier? Will builders not have that much trouble getting resident, and so on and so forth untill mayor and president?

These are my thoughts....please tell me if there are any major flaws because i sometimes....misinterpret things o.0

 

Can we just not add the new xp feature some how and keep minecraft the same when the update comes out. except for everything else

 

unless mobs return to main world xp should be added.

 

I don't think enchanted items will drop, but you will have a harder chance and double the % not to get super-duper enchanted items in my opinion.

 

The whole update centers around the xp enhancements. One of the biggest complaints since 1.8 has been how difficult it is to get xp unless you mob farm. I love the fact that we now have an alternative to killing blaze for an hour. I love to explore and mine as much as I can, but on ecc most of my time continues to be spent farming or killing blazes to get the enchantments I want. Nothing is as annoying to me to sit and farm 50 levels of xp only to get an unbreaking 3 tool. Now at least We have more variety and options and still can get xp at the same time. If the xp is not allowed, then once again ecc comes closer to being its own version of minecraft. Yes we will see xp dissapear from the market, but the best enchantments are going to be much tougher to achieve, requiring twice as many enchantments to get them. There is always the rich or lazy who will continue to buy xp either cuz they can or dont feel like doing anything. I think the best part is that we will see more enchanted tools armor and weapons which will improve the look of ecc and the pvp aspect as well.

I look foward to the update and hope nothing is changed.
