The smp server I play on only upgraded to 1.8 recently. I believe now we're at 1.8.3. This leaves me with some basic questions about enchanting, the answers to which are certainly going to be old news to most of you.
Gonna ask anyway.
First off, is it possible to place a gold version of what I want to enchant on the table - to generate a greater chance for the best enchants - then switching to the real item?
Also, I used to get tremendously powerful items through the copious use of book enchanting. Example: Bow of Liche - Infinity, Flame, Punch II, Power V, Unbreaking III
Can such a bow still be made? From what little experimenting I've done, this now seems like wishful thinking.
And Finally, I'm big into naming my items, just for style. Before, this helped keep repair costs down, but I've been told it now has the opposite effect.
Say it ain't so!
Thanks in advance for your patience!
