My anvil is being a dumdum
« Opened on January 06, 2014, 11:59:04 AM »
first pic: trying to combine together a Lure 3 and a Unbreaking 2 fishing rod with lure 3 in the second slot
second pic: trying to combine the same, but with unbreaking 2 rod in the second slot.
Has anyone else noticed these?  :P

That's very common when it comes to combining the enchants from two different tools.  According to the Minecraft Wiki: "The anvil uses a complex XP cost system where the way the tools are positioned and how many times they are repaired affect their cost.

See more on how anvils work (including the math involved) see http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Anvil_mechanics
