Enchantment Shop

[Cori83]

As many of you have become aware, the enchantment shop has been blocked off with a sign saying only "Enchant room is under construction." I haven't found much information on this, so I'm going to presume this is due to the reasons presented by Felled here. Namely, that enchants are too cheap, especially when it's considered that lapis blocks will repair tools, armor, and weapons.

I calculated these based on anvil mechanics. I can explain the math behind it if anyone is interested, but I have a table of values calculated out, and that's easier to both reference and understand. I feel like these prices would prevent new players from immediately having maxed gear, but stay reasonable near the upper enchantment levels. They are of course just prices I'm suggesting, and I'd like to see opinions on them.

Proposed prices:

*Calculated as level 3 due to lack of level variety
**Calculated an levels 2 and 4 due to lack of level variety
***Calculated as level 5 due to the difference between the sell price of cobble and that of stone

Edit: I learned that people are referencing this post, and capitalized "Enchantment" in the table.

Good idea

Oh... I didn't know you made a chart! That's why it took so long xD
I fully support all of this.
She actually took time on this, and I doubt any other staff member would've done this.

We wouldn't make a chart " title="Razz"> I was planning on redoing the enchantment room, but Meta was the one who blocked it off.

Plus I accidently deleted the post once, tried to make the chart with BBC first and had to redo it as a screenshot of excel (tables are disabled on the forum -.-), had to search for a whole new source for numbers on the Thorns enchantment, and had to think of those things I used asterisks for so the prices wouldn't be warped.

Also, I'm not a staff member. Your sentence should read "She actually took time on this, and I doubt any other member would've done this." or "She actually took time on this, and I doubt any of the staff members would've done this."

Thanks for your input Cori, I appreciate it!

I like this idea

I like this idea, but in 1.8 enchanting becomes 100% easier only requiring 3levels and 3 lapis to get level 30enchants

That is of course, providing you have level 30 xp
