Building a Dark Shrine for Experience Discounts

Constructing the Shrine Structure

Standard bookshelves placed around a Dark Enchanter do not provide an enchanting discount on their own. To lower the experience point cost of your upgrades, you must build a specific structure known as a Dark Shrine around the enchanting block.

Follow these layout steps:

1. Place your Dark Enchanter in the center of a clear, flat area.

2. Build a complete inner ring using crying obsidian around the central enchanter.

3. Build an outer ring using regular bookshelves encircling the crying obsidian layer.

Ensure there are no obstructions breaking the formation between the rings and the central block.

Shrine Benefits and Experience Calculation

Once properly built, the Dark Shrine automatically applies an experience discount to operations performed at the central Dark Enchanter.

The mod calculates total experience costs using several factors:

• A base cost for the operation.
• The intrinsic enchantment weight of the selected upgrades.
• The net level changes applied to the gear.
• Additional multipliers if curses or treasure enchantments are involved.

With the Dark Shrine in place, the resulting total cost is reduced, allowing you to fine-tune high-tier gear and apply expensive enchantments for fewer experience points.
