How to get Soul Speed

  • Loot chests: Ancient cities, trial chambers, bastions, and end city ships drop Soul Speed books reliably.
  • Villager trading: Librarian villagers can offer Soul Speed books for 5-19 emeralds depending on rarity.
  • Fishing: With Luck of the Sea III you have a small chance per catch to pull a treasure book.

Anvil cost worked example

Applying a level-3 Soul Speed book onto a brand-new item costs 24 XP levels (book multiplier 8 times level 3). 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 Soul Speed 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.
