Anvil cost worked example

Applying a level-4 Feather Falling book onto a brand-new item costs 8 XP levels (book multiplier 2 times level 4). Adding it on top of an item that has already been on the anvil once raises the cost by another 1 level for the prior-work penalty; twice and the penalty jumps to 3; three times, 7; and so on by 2^n - 1.

Pair Feather Falling with cheap stuff first if you can - Unbreaking and Mending have low multipliers and don't conflict, so they're usually the cheapest path to a full endgame loadout.
