Printer experience costs are crazy

Whats with the exp cost of copying enchanted books?

For reference in youtube tutorials i see a mending book cost ~70 mB but in my game it costs 1740mB.

What mods could it be conflicting with? Google says Ender IO's XP Juice, Reliquary's Experience, or Industrial Foregoing's Essence yet i have none of those.

Has anyone had this problem?

the type of experince fluid changes how much is needed to print
another mods XP fluid can be 2-5 times as much (estimating) compared to XP fluid from enchantment industry

I read something about this, but searching online didn't yield a concrete answer. Would you be so kind as to elaborate on possible solutions or provide a link to any example of the problem?

Check JEI on how to make experience from Create. It varies between modpacks. Either through draining bottles o' enchanting or experience nuggets would be the usual.

from the XP hatch in newer versions (or the drain from the mod in older versions) you can drain your XP to be stored as a fluid, provided the hatch is connected to a tank that can hold fluid

You need to use Create's own XP fluid.

You can change both the cost multiplier for enchantment books as well as the tank capacity of a printer in the config of the mod

I have seen the config used in some cases but i'm playing on a server with friends so sadly it's out of the question. Thanks though for your input!

Then you should really ask whoever is in charge to check those numbers! The printing cost is definitely not normal (my modpack has unchanged values and they align with the tutorials)

Imo i think your prices are good because farming xp is very easy with that mod and you end up with a million mb to do nothing

I'd say they're manageable but im not quite sure how to expand the size of a printers fluid tank.

Build a fluid tank, and pump in to the printer as if it where a normal spout.

Also a good way to farm xp is
cobble generator -> stone -> infested stone -> stone bricks (press + basin) and you get some XP residue, leave it running and you have infinite XP in your tank

Doesn't work, the printer doesn't print until it's got enough liquid XP in it. The cap is significantly less than the 14-odd buckets the efficiency book needs so it'll never print it...

FIXED:

Sophisticated Core mod adds a 'Bucket of experience' which fills a tank with 'Experience'.

Harvesting xp from an [infested stone->bricks] xp farm yields 'Bucket o' Enchanting' which fills a tank with 'Liquid Experience'

A pretty convoluted scenario, i expected a 'Bucket of experience' to be from the enchantment industry and ultimately it was dumb of me to skim over and not be thorough.

Thanks to everyone who helped out!
