* If you end up making a shield that you want to enchant, enchant it AFTER you put a sweet banner design on it. It can only be enchanted with books at the anvil...one decent one is UNBREAKING, the other MENDING.

*Speaking of MENDING...the mending part comes into play only when you're either holding the item enchanted with MENDING or wearing it while gaining experience orbs. This reduces the usefulness of ...say... a pickaxe with MENDING as you're unlikely to be killing mobs with it - unless you're super fast and remember to swap the tool with the weapon you were using. I haven't tested this out while spam-baking potatoes while holding that pick-axe of MENDING in build...I lost the pick since then. (dph? You know if this works?)

*SHARPNESS and KNOCKBACK is for melee weapons (the sword and axe), POWER and PUNCH is for bows. You're not making an overpowered weapon by sticking SHARPNESS III and POWER III on your diamond sword. Likewise, FIRE ASPECT is for swords and FLAME is the bow counterpart.

*FIRE ASPECT and FLAME have no effect on mobs in the nether except for normal skeletons you find at nether fortress.

*When making your super mining pick, the max enchantment levels you'll see is level III for UNBREAKING and FORTUNE but EFFICIENCY can go as high as V. (Requires an anvil to merge lesser levels into this.) SILK TOUCH only has one level but the chance of getting on your pick via enchanting at max level (30) is reported by player testing to be 1 in 6. (although this graph pulled off of a minecraft wiki shows the chance to be maxed at 1.1 at levels 16 and beyond! https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/mi....png?version=655ef7c6f57eb80fe860b673da427d5e)

*Some enchantments are mutually exclusive to each other. For instance, you'll never see a Silk Touch pick with Fortune III, because ....that'd be dumb...but having less enchants on your items actually helps keep the repair cost down. For this reason, my favorite ol' pick is one with just UNBREAKING III and EFFICIENCY V and the shovel equivalent is truly a destroyer of deserts. (And I try my best to have a separate pick for mining diamonds, lapis, etc with Fortune III, and a third with Silk Touch if I'm lucky)

That's all I know now that I wish I knew then...have an enchanting day Addicts! -_- (Gwaahh...)
 
Totally missed the typo in my header...I need better sleeping habits... T_T
