Which crossbow to enchant
Of these 6, 5 fit on a crossbow at the same time. The rest of the list is alternatives, not extras.
There is one crossbow in the game and its enchantability is 1, the lowest value anything carries. The bonus a table rolls on top of your experience level comes from that number, so here your level is very nearly the whole enchanting power. It takes 465 uses before it breaks.
| Item | Durability | Enchantability |
|---|---|---|

Enchanting Cost Notes
Anvil Costs: Each time you combine items on an anvil, the prior work penalty increases. Plan your enchantment order to minimize total XP cost.
Order Matters: Combine the most expensive enchantments first, then add cheaper ones. This keeps anvil costs lower overall.
XP Limit: Anvil operations are capped at 39 levels in survival mode. If the cost exceeds this, you need to restructure your combination order.
