Forging Overview

Forging is a way to upgrade your weapons and armor by using the Blacksmith's Forge yourself rather than having the Blacksmith do the work and charge you more money. Additionally, forging can be used as one's primary source of income, though the diversion of BA from fighting means that their character does not grow. When forging for another for profit, a specific percent of the blacksmith cost is paid to the forger for doing the job.

Most weapons and armor can be forged, however, some cannot, please refer to the Forging Formulae page for more information. The higher your character's Minion Power Rating, the more effective your forging will be. Most players don't recommend forging under 100,000 Minion Power Rating or while you have a New User Bonus (NUB) - however, forging while one has a NUB does increase forging efficiency by the percent of the NUB. There is a charge for using the forge - this charge is 20%, but people who are in an Economic Clans only pay 15%.

Forge Cycles

A full forge cycle is made up of 6 steps, during any one of which you may encounter Bot Checks.

  • Step 1: Heating - The first thing you do is heat the item a certain amount of time. (see Forging Formulae page for item specific times)
  • Step 2: Casting a spell - If you are forging the 'x' on a weapon you would cast 'viciousness', the '+' on a weapon would be 'accuracy', and the '+' on non-weapon items would be 'hardness'.
  • Step 3: Quenching - You quench your item in water until the Rough Progress Meter (RPM) Increases.
  • Step 4: Heating - The second time you heat your item up is the second value in your forge formula found on the Forging Formulae page.
  • Step 5: Casting a spell - This is the time to cast the spell of 'tempering'.
  • Step 6: Quenching - Your final step is to now quench your item again until the Rough Progress Meter (RPM) increases.
  • That is one complete forge cycle. Just repeat steps 1-6 until your item is upgraded.
