The Forge

The Forge allows players to reforge and improve their equipment. It does not allow for the creation of new equipment from scratch.

Reforging is done using the materials brought to players by their monsters, drops in battles, or purchased in the Bazaar's item shop.

Upgrading

• Each upgrade level adds 1% to the base stat in question.
• Stats can only be increased.
• Only stats that already exist on the gear can be increased. No new stats may be added.
  • Any stats that are gained from Potencies cannot be forged.
• Most upgrades are limited to 20 levels, except for physical and magical damage which go up to 50 levels.
  • This upgrade cap can be increased by Forge Level up to double (40 and 100 levels respectively).
• No bindings for increasing any proc stats exist.
  • Likewise for decreasing Burden and Interference.

Enhancements

• Gives time-limited bonuses to equipment in order to make them more powerful.
• Requires a shard or an Infusion to activate.
• Expires after 1 hour real-time.
• Different shard/infusion types can be applied the same equipment simultaneously to get multiple effects.
  • However, only two different infusion types can be active on a weapon at maximum.
• Applying the same shard type multiple times extends the effect's duration by an additional 1 hour per shard.

Salvaging

Salvaging retrieves materials from higher-quality equipment pieces. Only low/mid/high-grade base materials can be directly acquired this way. Locked items cannot be salvaged.

• Salvaging equipment below Fine will not yield anything.
  • Equipment in the Fine to Superior range has a chance to yield materials based on the specific item's quality.
  • Exquisite and above will always yield materials.

Salvaging an item with upgrades will also return some of the bindings used. The amount returned depends on the quality of the item, with low-quality items giving back as little as 25% while the highest-quality legendaries salvages as much as 75%. Other materials (Base materials, rares) spent on upgrading an item will not be returned.

Reforging

Reforging can reset the Item Potency experience and unlocked potentials of an equipment.

• Reforging requires Amnesia Shards. The number of shards required is equal to the equipment's Item Potency level.
• Players can only choose to forfeit all the existing Item Potency levels or keep all of them.
• Any potencies that had stats further increased via Forging will become latent (inactive but still present) if the potencies are removed in this manner.

Forge Level

Every time a player upgrade an equipment, the forge will gain a certain amount of experience.

• The Forge level is capped at 50.
• The upgrade cap will be increased by Forge level.
• The amount of experience gained depends the level of the materials used for the upgrade: +2 per low-grade, +10 per mid-grade and +40 per high-grade, and +50 for a special item; giving an effective cap of 250 per upgrade.
  • The amount of EXP that will be gained is shown when hovering over an upgrade.
  • The amount is unaffected by the bindings used.
  • This also gives an equal amount of potency EXP.

Forge Ranks

• Experience to reach next forge level = (Current forge level * 250) + 250
• Upgrade cap increases by 2% per forge level, rounded down
  • At forge level 50 the upgrade cap will increase from 50/20 to 100/40

Armors	The enchanted armore gains 5% resistance to the corresponding element.

Material Costs

• Each upgrade requires some basic materials and 1 binding corresponding to which stats get upgraded.
  • The amount required varies based on the equipment's quality and the number of upgrades already done in that stat. As the equipment is upgraded further it will require more high-grade materials, although the total number of materials needed should remain the same.
• For rarer equipment (phase, kevlar, shade, power, shield armors) a special component is required to upgrade them by a level in a stat. Doing so however, allows for all other stats to be upgraded to that level without another special component.
  • Shade and power armors, in particular, will require at least 50 special components to fully upgrade its physical damage.
