There is a way to disenchant items, but you will not get books, but some liquid xp.
If you put item in mariculture crucible furnace with ethereal upgrade you will get 300mb of liquid xp for each enchant level on item and an item without enchants back.
Kreknorite -> disenchant -> reenchant with 30 levels and I have a better kreknorite armor, sad that in 90% of times it gives me fire resist 3/4 with unbreaking 2/3. but its still beter, just the cost of xp.
Question from me
Have anyone managed to finish the natural gas quest? I cant get any, I kept smacking the pump for 5 minutes and no gas so far.
