Minecraft Name: chargers2427 Suggestion: Change the price of the enchant signs at spawn. Reason: With the current amount of EXP, takes either 16k orbs for a max fortune pick/axe or 18k for one with silk. With a regular skeleton spawner where it is one hit with a sword to kill the skeleton, it took me 52 minutes to get 1000 EXP, 1002 orbs to be exact. With this time, it would roughly 13.9 hours to get a max fortune tool and 15.6 hours to get a max silk tool. These numbers also show that if you were enchant items with the farmed EXP, assuming the average price is 10-17,000 per max tool, said person would only be making roughly $1223.02 per hour. Also, the average set of 1000 EXP is going for $1,500-$2,000 per, and with it taking 52 minutes per 1000 orbs, you wouldn't be making much more than that. You can make 14-16k an hour with mining and farming, why not the same for EXP? Any Other Information: I think a fair price for an Eff 5 enchant would be: 3000 orbs, Silk touch: 4000 orbs Fortune 3: 3000 orbs Unbreaking 3: 2000 orbs. This adds up to 8000 orbs for fortune 3 and 9000 orbs for silk touch tool. Both, with a 52 min/1000 orbs, would still be around 7 hours of farming. Also, with the current price of 1000 EXP sets, the prices would be, roughly,: $13600 for fortune and $15300 for silk. I used $1700 per set of EXP. One more thing, this could potentially boost the EXP demand because this would hype up the EXP market and more people would look for/hunt for spawners. *Sorry if my numbers are little a off :b* Link To This Plugin: N/A
Anyone want to figure out how much exp you get from ~52 minutes of mining? Obviously this would differ each time.(Tagging kukelekuuk00 to possibly test out the exp) I feel like mining gets you a lot more exp than mob spawners do. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? One might say that it took work to get the ores so more exp should be rewarded. Another might say that the only reason you go to a mob spawner to get exp so you should get more doing that than anything else. Yet another might say that exp from mob grinding is stupid because it takes no work... The possibilities of arguments on both sides is almost endless All in all, what is the best way to get exp, Mining or Mob Grinding? If mining is this a good thing, If Mob Grinding is this a good thing?
The ease at which you could obtain a proper farming/mining tool before this change was too high. This is supposed to be a hardcore economy server, and this just adds to the hardcore factor.
Exp is dead again because of mining, these tools should cost around 50k like the used to way back, if anything raise the exp prices. Note, the reason the signs arnt used very much is due to the sheer numbers of max tools there is on the server, people can just go but one for 20k.
Wow.. I can't believe I forgot mining exp.... *derp* I'll do some mining, and see how longs it takes to get 1000 orbs, I'll be using Eff 7.
Lowering the price of enchanting is not a good idea. People still enchant their stuff en masse, it's far from dead. In fact, since we put mining exp back, we've been removing exp from the economy en masse. We sell over 750k exp of enchantments each week.
You may want to set up a fortuning station, I have one I can show you, and you can use if you want. It's in the sky.
I never thought of that... I'm sketched out where I use fortune in a small cave I made. Sent from my NX008HD8G using Tapatalk
Its a secluded spot in the mining world where you take your ores to be fortuned for exp. Sent from my NX008HD8G using Tapatalk
Eff7 picks only have silk, so you need to place ores and mine them with a fortune tool. Personally, I have a dirt platform in the sky.
