How to get enchantments
Every path — enchant table, structure loot, librarian trades, anvil-combine. Where the best enchants come from.
There are five main ways to acquire enchantments on Sunday Market. Each path favors different rarity tiers and different enchantment types.
1. Enchanting tables
The default vanilla path, but on Sunday Market with a twist: bookshelves count by what's inside them.
Setup
- Place an enchanting table
- Surround with 15 bookshelves in a vanilla pattern (one block away on each side, at the same level and one above)
- This gives you the vanilla bonus — level 30 enchants available
Boost it further
- Fill bookshelves with enchanted books (any enchant type)
- The shelves still count for vanilla mechanics, plus the books inside provide an additional boost
- Top-tier setup with all shelves stacked with high-tier enchanted books gives a substantial uplift to the quality of enchantments rolled
What appears
- Common to uncommon custom enchants appear at level 15+
- Rare and epic custom enchants are possible but unlikely at lower levels
- Mythic enchants almost never appear in tables — find them elsewhere
Tips
- Keep a stash of books for re-enchanting — you'll burn through XP
- Use a sacrificial sword/pick for "consume the curse roll" if a curse appears in the preview
- The enchant table preview shows you ONE of the enchants you'll get; the others are random
2. Structure loot
The custom worldgen on Sunday Market has tier-stratified structures with scaled loot tables:
| Tier | Where to find | What you'll get |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Surface ruins, small dungeons | Common enchanted books, basic gear |
| 2 | Mid-depth structures, moderate dungeons | Uncommon enchants, mid-tier loot |
| 3 | Deep structures, capital dungeons | Rare enchants, high-tier loot |
| 4 | Boss rooms in capital dungeons | Epic enchants, top-tier loot |
| 5 | Special / unique structures | Mythic enchants, signature items |
The Sunday Market signature Last Call enchantment book appears in tier 3+ chests with moderate odds. Other epics drop similarly.
See Worldgen → Structures for what to look for.
3. Librarian trades
Vanilla librarian villagers trade enchanted books. On Sunday Market:
- Common villager — common to uncommon enchants
- Apprentice — uncommon
- Journeyman — rare possible
- Expert — rare to epic
- Master — epic to mythic possible
A master-tier librarian is a long-term investment — you have to grind a single villager's trades through the level progression by accepting their offers. Once they're master-tier, they have a chance to offer top-tier custom enchanted books.
Some players keep a "librarian library" — a row of trading-station villagers all leveled to master, each rolled until their trade includes a desired enchant. Ultimate enchant farm.
4. Anvil-combine
Combine two of the same enchanted book → one book at the next level.
- 2× Last Call I → 1× Last Call II
- 2× Last Call II → 1× Last Call III
- 2× any-enchant I → 1× any-enchant II (where the enchant has level II)
Anvil-combine works the same for custom enchants as for vanilla. The XP cost scales with item enchantment count and the cumulative cost of previous repairs.
For high-level enchants, expect significant XP costs — a Last Call III book typically requires multiple anvil operations from level I sources.
5. Trading with players
Most direct: someone sells you a book with the enchant you want. Player shops sometimes stock specific enchanted books. Direct trades via the trade window are cleaner for high-value items.
The economy moves enchanted books pretty actively — there's always demand for popular enchants.
Practical paths to specific enchants
Want Last Call (signature)?
- Try enchant tables a few times when you have spare XP
- Run dungeons looking for tier 3+ chests
- Check player shops for books
- As a backup, level a librarian to master and roll for Last Call
Want Telekinesis (mining QoL)?
- Common-tier; enchant tables roll it often
- Structure chests have it frequently
- Librarians of any tier can offer it
Want Soulbound (item protection)?
- Rare-tier; enchant tables rarely
- Structure chests in capitals
- Master librarian
- Anvil-combine if you find a level I book
Want a curse (collecting / theme)?
- Enchant tables occasionally roll them
- Structure loot has cursed books in tier 1+
- Player shops sometimes sell them as novelty items
Maintenance — keep your enchanted gear alive
Enchanted gear breaks. To preserve:
- Mending — vanilla, repairs items via XP gained
- Repairing — custom enchant, slow auto-repair while carrying
- Anvil repairs — XP cost per repair
A piece of gear with both Mending and Repairing rarely needs anvil repairs.
