    The new change has arrived! New signs have been placed in /spawn shops allowing us to freely choose the enchantment of our choice! The cost? Oodles of EXP collected from the dead (BTW, thanks for that. Here I am trying to send these souls BACK to the mining world via spawners, #underworldproblems)

    What's your take on this? Has EXP become the new currency/most cherished item of ECC? Please keep in mind, this is not a flaming (hehe laaaava) thread. Andrew and the others are doing the best they can to battle the Mojang Dev crew. What has this done so far for you? Has hoarding all those pumpkin finally given you the payout you were looking for?

    Keep it toasty!

    I think it will be an interesting change. I haven't been on for a few days so I'm not quite sure how expensive exp is becoming, but I am wondering whether you guys think there will be more or less spawner breaking.

    From what I can see right now, it's extremely expensive to enchant anything. I'm assuming this is just because it's new and the prices are inflated. With that being said, I haven't been around ECC long enough to gauge the market properly when it comes to exp.

    I'm hoping prices drop in the coming weeks, but just a little bit. Once I gain access to a spawner, I might be changing my tune a little though ;)

    I have never once payed for experience... I've always just went to a spawner and bought eBooks. Now with prices on the rise there's no chance I'll even consider buying it. If anything, I've spent more time at my current spawner to hoard XP for myself in case someone finds and breaks it.

    Doesn't being able to get max enchants really devalue the extra commands+ feature? Is my eff 3 now a valuable collectors item?

    I think it's going to take a precarious balance to be worked at here. E-rep prices should go up since we are repair legendary tools. Books would be SUPER rare since they aren't dropping from fishing as much... (At least at my measly Fishing 150). I had someone pay me in XP for anvil combos yesterday... Mass mayhem.

    Actual prices are strange. New enchant system is ok but not for that price. When i enchant item before, i got almost always few fetures. Ok some are crapy but i can use them too. And it's take 825 exp.

    EXP as a currency has always been a thing. just as every other item on ecc. its getting attention now because of the price increase. school season is coming to an end. so all kids/young adults/adults are getting cramped for time. means less time for farming EXP. but they still want EXP so they pay for it. causing price hikes.. when the school season ends there will be a price drop. and all ecc will return to normal. i dont think its an issue for EXP becoming a more valuable currency . i think its a way of life. vicious circle. and off the subject. this trend will be the same for netherstars. granted some "rumors" dont come true
