**Insight** is an [effect](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Effect) that increases the amount of [experience](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Experience) dropped.

## Effect

Mobs killed by a player with the effect will drop twice the amount of experience. The higher the effect level, the more experience is multiplied. The multiplication is calculated as such:

```
Experience = Original Experience * (Effect Level + 2)
```

(Effect Level can equal to 0 as Insight I is considered effect level 0 while Insight II is considered level 1).

## Causes

Insight are primarily caused by [custom brews](../../custom-brewing) with the initial duration of 3 minutes, with a [Book and Quill](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Book_and_Quill) [catalyst](../../custom-brewing/catalysts).
