Why did my anvil break after 3 uses?

Yes, using the anvil can damage and eventually break it. Each use has a 12% chance of damaging the anvil. Damaging the anvil changes it to slightly damaged the first time, very damaged the second time and breaks it the third time (though the item is still upgraded). This means an anvil will last, on average, 25 uses.
