    So I have an skeleton farm, and I was just wondering which would be a better way to make money from it. Selling the exp orbs directly, or mining diamonds + enchanting diamond things (tools, armor etc) and selling them that way? Thanks.

    After the nerf on the mob xp drop, I don't find xp farming/enchanting business to be very profitable at all
    unless you have triple+ spawners (it takes forever to reach 30 lvls with a single spawner trap and considering
    that some anvil combinations can cost up to 36 or 37 lvls I don't think it's worth it).
    Therefore I'd suggest to do mining or farming as your main source of income and keep the spawner for the
    bones and occasional xp farming :D

    xp farming from spawners is not a very reliable source of income considering people will often go and destroy spawners they find. If you base your income off this and it gets destroyed, you're SOL. I would suggest mining and farming as they are the most profitable and probably the best source of income for a builder besides lotto, which I don't suggest you do.
