The Forge
Combine two items of the same type for a chance at greatness! Located in town.
How It Works
- Select two items of the same type (weapon+weapon, ring+ring, etc.)
- Pay the forge cost (50% of combined item value)
- Roll for outcome - risk vs reward!
Forge Rules
- Items must be the same type to forge
- Cannot forge equipped items - unequip first
- Cannot forge consumables (potions)
- Cannot forge unique items or NFT items
- Successfully forged items gain a forge level
Forge Cost
Cost = (Item 1 Value + Item 2 Value) × 50%
Outcome Probabilities
| Outcome | Chance | Result |
|---|
| LEGENDARY FORGE! |

| Level | Name |
|---|
| 1 | Forged |
| 2 | Twice Forged |
| 3 | Thrice Forged |
| 4 | Quadruple Forged |
| 5 | Quintuple Forged |
Legendary Forge Bonuses

Tip: Forge lower-value items to minimize risk. The 5% failure chance means you WILL eventually lose items!
