The new snapshot is full of new features available next Minecraft update. Features such as Ender Chests, and Desert villages, and EMERALDS will be shortly available. Now, I know you might be thinking "I already knew that, the Yogscast (or someone) already talked about it!!!" Well, as I messed around in the newest snapshot, I noticed some..... negative features concerning XP and enchantments... FIRST OFF.... you can now get XP from mining ores... You will no longer need to mob farm to get XP orbs! Mining diamond and red stone, give XP as you break the ore... Gold and iron give the XP as you smelt it. A great feature, however with more folk getting XP, this whole $5 an orb crap will shorty fall, as EVERYONE will be able to sell XP. ENCHANTMENTS ARE CHEAP!!! Jeb tweeted that the max enchantment is now 30, not 50... Great, as you can get the good enchantments for less. For me, this is awesome, as I can now get my new silktouch pick, and "godly" sword. But with all this silk touch and fortune, the prices of ores, and goods in general MIGHT slightly drop. I know, as soon as this update is in play, I will be spending my cash to get a silk touch enchantment on ALL my tools. Finally, Consistent Levels Getting up to level one easy, and level two. Getting to level 40 takes longer and is much harder to achieve. With the new update, getting to level One is just as easy as getting to level 30 (the new max). Great once again, but not for the market.. Getting XP will be simple, and once again DECREASE the price of some items, as they will be much easier to obtain on one's own. Although the next update will have great features available, it will also have some features that could hurt the ECC market... Not by much, but $1-$2 will affect the market over a period of time... But thats why I guess ECC is a HARDCORE ECONOMY!!!!!
Wont work on placed ore, only naturally spawned ore. Just the same as it works with MCMMO. On the other note, i think this is actually really good for the economy. The price(5/piece) is absolutely ridiculous and only was a result of the fact that Mobs were removed from the main world. I myself never understood how that effected the price so much, mainly because of the fact that a users were(and are) fully capable of using the nether-spawners, despite their "fears" of people blowing them all up.
DArn......... Just boughht silk touch unbreaking3 eff4 for 13750 ECOs........ I should probably sell it now before the market spirals outta control ;P
Well, You should actually sell your silk touch AFTER the update... Maybe some builder or someone will buy it.......
