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.

Renaming

A custom name can be given to the equipment.

• The equipment needs to have its potency maxed.
• The original name of the equipment will always be preserved, and will be displayed on the equipment popup below the custom name.
  • The custom name can be removed by renaming to blank or the same as the original name.
  • Sending the equipment through the MoogleMail will also remove the custom name.

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 (including those stats gained from equip prefixes/suffixes) can be increased. No new stats may be added.
  • Any stats that are gained from Potencies cannot be forged.
• Most upgrades are limited to 25 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.
  • Infusion on weapons expires after 15 minutes 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 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 Average can only yield scrap.
  • Equipment in the Superior range has a chance to yield materials based on the item's base PXP.
  • Exquisite and above will always yield materials.

Salvaging an item with upgrades will also return 80% of the materials spent on upgrading, rounded down. The return rate will increase up to 90% with 50 forge level. This also reduces the forge's EXP equal to how much the upgrades on the equipment piece would have increased it.

Scrap

(The use of these items, if any, is currently unknown).

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; extra EXP is still stored after this capped is reached.
• The upgrade cap will be increased by Forge level.
• The return rate upon salvaging will increase up to 90% with 50 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; 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 amount of potency EXP equal to 1/10 of the forge 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 50/25 to 100/50

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, Shade, and Power 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.
