How the game works it out
| Cost of one step | The levels of every enchantment on the right piece, times its level, plus the repair cost of both pieces |
| Books are cheaper | From a book an enchantment costs half its anvil cost per level, at least 1 |
| Repair cost | Starts at 0 and becomes twice the higher of the two pieces' repair costs plus 1 after every step: 0, 1, 3, 7, 15, 31 |
| Too expensive | A step that costs 40 levels or more is refused in Survival; Creative has no limit |
| Renaming | Giving the item a new name in the same step adds 1 level |
| Same enchantment twice | Two equal levels of one enchantment become the next level, up to its highest level |
