๐ง How Enchantment Order Optimization Works
๐ฐ Cost Calculation
Each enchantment operation has a cost based on:
- Base enchantment level
- Number of previous operations on the item
- Compatibility between enchantments
Cost = Base Cost + Prior Work Penalty
โ ๏ธ "Too Expensive!" Error
This error occurs when:
- Operation cost exceeds 39 levels
- Item has been worked on too many times
- Inefficient enchanting order is used
Maximum cost per operation: 39 levels
๐ฏ Optimization Strategy
Our calculator uses advanced algorithms to:
- Minimize total experience cost
- Avoid the "Too Expensive!" error
- Find the most efficient combination order
Combine expensive enchantments first
๐ Prior Work Penalty
Each anvil operation increases future costs:
- 1st operation: +0 levels
- 2nd operation: +1 level
- 3rd operation: +3 levels
- 4th operation: +7 levels
- 5th operation: +15 levels
- 6th operation: +31 levels (often "Too Expensive!")
๐ก Enchanting Tips & Best Practices
๐ Use Enchanted Books
Combine enchanted books first, then apply to your item. This reduces the prior work penalty on your main item.
๐ Plan Ahead
Always plan your entire enchanting sequence before starting. One wrong step can make your item "Too Expensive!"
๐ Start with Fresh Items
Use fresh, unenchanted items when possible. Items with existing enchantments have higher prior work penalties.
โก Expensive First
Generally, combine the most expensive enchantments first to minimize the total cost and avoid hitting the limit.
๐ฏ Single Enchantments
When possible, use single-enchantment books rather than multi-enchantment books for better cost control.
๐ง Repair Separately
Repair your items using materials, not other items, to avoid unnecessary prior work penalties.
