Anvil cost worked example
Applying a level-4 Breach book onto a brand-new
item costs 16
XP levels (book multiplier 4 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 Breach 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.
