How many XP points for enchanting and anvil use
Enchanting table offers consume 1–3 levels, while anvil steps consume their full listed cost. Because levels above 30 are expensive, spend levels often rather than saving up. Extra XP cannot bypass the anvil Too Expensive limit, so check each operation before spending levels.
Reaching level 30 from zero takes 1,395 points, and level 50 takes 5,345. Because higher levels cost much more, spend levels on the anvil and enchanting table before they pile up. Use the anvil enchantment calculator to keep costs low.
