Why is it that I can super enchant something, like a sword, and give it the best enchantments, but I can never repair them? For example, the other day, I was fighting an army of skeletons from a spawner when I noticed my sword was almost broken. I went to go to my anvil and, what do I see? "Too expensive." I switched to creative mode, and I actually did have enough levels to repair it! What is the cause of this?
Pretty sure if it costs more than 40 levels, you can't repair it in Survival. Can you rename it, though? I honestly have no idea, but maybe renaming it then trying to repair it will work.
If the anvil is damaged it costs more to repair items than if it isnt, but has the normal cost in creative mode. Also if you repair an item alot the repair price starts to go up, how often do you repair that sword?

It's my first time repairing the sword, and so the anvil is in top condition.

I will try to rename it. It's pretty weird though, I can't repair an item if it's over 40 levels? I have over 80 because of the Ender Dragon and fighting tons of mobs.

There is no level cap in creative mode, but in survival, jobs are capped at 39. Anything that would cost 40 or more will be refused as "Too Expensive!"
how many enchantments do you have on your sword?for each enchantment it gets more expensive repairing it.
how did you put the enchantments on the sword?with the anvil or did you just put it into the enchantment table?if you use an anvil to get the enchantments on the sword,doing something with it on the anvil gets more expensive,because it adds some levels to the next calculation.if you rename your sword,the levels added by using the anvil get reset,so you should try that.otherwise,it is impossible to repair it on survival.
He probably didn't use an anvil to enchant his sword, and you still have to pay 2 extra levels for the rename.

This is the best signature you've ever seen. Trust me.
I'm also known as TANNAR in some places.

I don't think this is true. Source?

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
