Which sword to enchant

Of these 10, 8 fit on a sword at the same time. The rest of the list is alternatives, not extras.

Which of the 6 swords you enchant changes what the table offers. Golden Sword carries enchantability 22 where Netherite Sword has 15, so gold buys better rolls for the same levels and pays for it in wear: 32 uses against 2,031.

Durability and enchantability per material, read from the game files. The names link to the full item pages on items.astroworldmc.com.

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.
