I think there needs to be a sort of "trade" that could be done among players with different levels.

For example... People want to share an enchanted Pickaxe.

One person is level 26, and one person is level 4.

They could both go to an enchantment table, and if they both open the menu at the same time.. There's a "transfer" beacon inside of it that would come up that would ask you how much experience you would like to give away so you could use the lump sum of it in a way that the players agree most on.

So that level 4 person could give away their level 4 to the 26 so they could get a level 30 enchantment that might have Fortune III in the goal of having more coal, diamond, redstone, lapus, among other things.

While I'm not arguing that it isn't far too difficult for someone to get an additional 4 levels for an enchantment in this situation. But it would definitely save a little bit of time among players working together.



Thoughts?

Interesting idea....seems feasible overall. Might be easier to just make a way to use the enchanting table to store your experience into awkward potions to make Potions of Enchanting out of them...since they are already in the game though.

Or if there was maybe a way of crafting enchanted bottles.. You need glass bottles and experience
I think that's easier.

there are bukkit plugins to allow xp to be turned into xp bottles then they would be tradable

Then there're these guys who are completely lost.


And exp doesn't work the way you mentioned.
A level 4 person may have enough exp to get a level 26 up to 27 since the requirements start to scale as they go.

I can see it being useful, but I wouldn't really care about it if it were implemented.

Yeah I was thinking about that too... Say... Use an awkward potion in an enchanting table with 30 levels and you could use it to "store" your experience and drink it to regain your 30 when you see a time that's useful for it. Cause they have "Potions of Enchanting" in Creative Mode don't they?

So.. yeah why not have it be possible with Survival? But have it be only able to be done with 30 levels.

Maybe..

Yeah I agree.

If it wasn't this idea.. It would be that idea for sure.

Because yeah those potions are in Creative... So.. why not have it be possible with Survival?
