my new anvil sword

[steventhomasnewell]

WITHER BLOOD II

has finally been made!!

the first one (wither blood) was a normal smite V diamond sword and i lost it shortly after making it by a heard of pigmen and some ghast blasts.

this sword im proud to say is made completely from XP from chicken breeding and stone cooking.

i think i should have named it earlier as it would have been a little cheaper in the long run. (name your anvil items! its cheaper to combine and the repair cost will not scale with each use!)

in the background you can see my proud display of 4 swords from wither skeletons, no heads YET.

hopefully the Looting II will help out with that!

Im hoping I can keep this sword long enough to collect 3 heads.

There is a priest in the town that enchants diamond swords with smite II, so i made four of those to combine up to smite V.

50% of the time i kill pigmen and zombies in one hit!

That sounds like a pretty rockin' sword!  I don't quite have the hang of the anvil, seems you can spend too much XP if you don't combine things correctly...

its pretty straight forward (one you look at the code and math behind it)

renaming an item will make repairs stay at a static number. non-named items will increase the needed xp each time you repair.

so if u plan on keeping something for a long time rename it, it will be worth it.

every time you combine an item it becomes more expensive to combine again

so if i made a smite 5 out of two smite 4 swords (there first enchantment was smite 4, and they had never been anviled) it would be a lot cheaper then combining four smite 3's into two smite 4's then into one smite 5 (which is how i got mine because there is a priest in town that makes smite 3)

the enchantment will upgrade when its combined with another of the same type.

sharpness 1 + sharpness 1 = sharpness 2

sharpness 2 + sharpness 2 = sharpness 3

BUT

sharpness 2 + sharpness 1 = sharpness 2

and there are certain types that will cancel each other out, or something like that

a sword can have either smite, sharpness, OR bane

armor can have protection, blast protection, projectile protection, OR fire protection.

material does not seem to matter with the anvil so iron isnt more expensive than diamond when combining enchantments.

40xp is the limit in survival mode (creative you can go much higher) once it gets higher you cannot combine anything else.

One quick correction — naming your items makes them MORE EXPENSIVE to combine, but then after that the repair cost will not scale with each use (repair or enchantment upgrade).

What did you do to get the Looting II?

looting II was actually before 1.4 when i was enchanting tons of diamond swords in prep for when the anvil came out.

for some reason i had never messed with villager trading untill 1.4

it totally slipped my mind.

so the looting two was from bookshelves

WELL, I LOST WITHER BLOOD II.

R   I    P

i fell like gandalf down a pit in the nether.

i had fire resist on, and fell in lava, but it still made me hit the ground (shallow lava) and i died, all my items were destroyed.

we await your arrival WITHER BLOOD III

[kamsly]

Did you respawn frozen on top of a mountain wearing all white?

Bummer about Wither Blood II!!!!!  :(

[Spencer Ruskin]

WITHER BLOOD II was destined to be destroyed...

SO THAT WITHER BLOOD III COULD BE GIVEN LIFE.
