The Enlightened Shrine provides a 25% experience bonus for the duration of the effect.
This bonus adds to Nephalem Valor and multiplayer bonuses, and multiples bonuses from Monster Power and equipment, resulting in experience bonuses that are never lower and usually higher than those possible pre-v1.08.
This shrine provides no benefit to players at Paragon 100, though the developers have suggested that it might generate some special bonus for max level characters in the future.

Patch 1.0.8 Improvement
Patch v1.08 improved the function of this shrine by changing it to a multiplicative bonus. [1]
Shrines in Diablo III
Shrines are randomly-located, randomly-spawned objects that characters can click to receive temporary buffs. Shrine effects pass to all players in the area when they are first triggered. All shrine benefits last for 2 minutes, and characters can benefit from multiple different shrines at once. Shrine bonuses and durations do not stack, and hitting a second shrine of the same type will simply reset the time to the full two minute duration.
- Blessed Shrine - Reduces all damage taken by 25%.
- Empowered Shrine – Increased resource regeneration and reduced cooldowns. (Added in Patch 1.0.5.)
- Enlightened Shrine - +25% Experience. (This shrine did not appear in Inferno prior to v1.0.5.)
- Fleeting Shrine – Increased movement speed and adds 25 yards to gold and health orb pickup radius. (Added in Patch 1.0.5.)
- Fortune Shrine - A +25% bonus to Magic Find and Gold Find. This bonus stacks on top of other MF/GF bonuses from equipment, Nephalem Valor stacks, and Paragon levels. After Patch v1.08 it gained the ability to boost above the 300% MF/GF cap.
- Frenzied Shrine - Increases attack speed by 25%.
Enlightened Shrines in Inferno
Enlightened Shrines could never spawn in Inferno prior to v1.0.5. There was no need for those shrines in Inferno then, since no player could realistically cope with the difficulty at less than the maximum level of 60. This changed in v1.0.4 with the introduction of the Paragon system, where characters began to gain experience for Paragon levels once they reached 60.
The D3 devs didn't think to enable Enlightened shrines in Inferno in v1.0.4, but they realized their oversight and enabled them in Inferno in v1.0.5.[1]
