FAQ
Why did all my enchantments disappear?
Using a grindstone to combine or disenchant removes ALL non-curse enchantments from the item and converts them into a small XP payout.
Can I selectively remove one enchantment?
No. Grindstones remove every non-curse enchantment together—you must use an anvil with new books to reapply desired ones.
