The Forge

Overview

Once you have completed the game, you unlock the Forge of Hephaestus, located on the highest peak of Mount Olympus.

Each successive climb grants you one attempt to forge a piece of your equipment upon the anvil, along with legend rewards for every tenth ascent.

Forging

Forging a piece of your equipment requires two pieces of equipment as fodder to heat the crucible.

Success Formula

Forge success chance depends on the quality of the equipment forged and sacrificed.

Quality of equipment is measured in three ways:

1. Value, x: The sell price of the equipment.
2. Upgrade count, y: The number of times the item has been successfully upgraded at the forge.
3. Form changes, z: The number of times the item has changed form.

The quality of sacrifices and upgrade candidates are inversely related.

• As the quality of equipment-to-be-forged _(f) increases, the success chance decreases.
• As the quality of sacrificed equipment _{(s1, s2)} increases, the success chance increases.

The Complete Formula

= 100% × ½[√x_s1 × (1 + ½y_s1 × 1.2^z_s1) + √x_s2 × (1 + ½y_s2 × 1.2^z_s2)] / [√x_f × (1 + y_f / 10)]

Horns

Horns are special one-time-use items that can increase your success chance at the forge. The horn that provides the highest success chance will automatically be used when you attempt to upgrade your equipment.

Success Chance Over 100%

If the success chance exceeds 100%, there is a chance that the forged equipment will be upgraded multiple times.

A 125% success chance means the forged equipment will be upgraded at least once, with a 25% chance to be upgraded twice. At 200%, the equipment is guaranteed to be upgraded twice; at 300%, thrice, and so on.

Fiddling

If you hit the anvil multiple times before letting it cool, you can randomly alter the success chance (between -5% and +5%). You may hit the anvil as many times as you like, but when the result is worse, the anvil will cool quicker and you will have a shorter time to react.

Forge Outcomes

If you fail to upgrade a forged piece of equipment, the sacrificed equipment will be lost and the forged equipment will remain unchanged.

If you successfully upgrade a piece of equipment at the forge, the sacrifices will be consumed and the forged equipment will be enhanced based on its kind.

Kind of Equipment	Stat Enhanced
Weapon	Power
Armour	Defence
Shield	Defence

Modifiers

Sacrificed equipment with a modifier prefix in its name will provide an additional enhancement based on prefix name, but only if it’s the same kind of equipment as forged.

Forms

Each successive upgrade on a piece of equipment will increase its upgrade count. Once this upgrade count passes a threshold, the equipment will change form and gain an increased stat enhancement with each upgrade.

Upgrade Count	Form	Stats per Upgrade
0+	None	+2
10+	Heroic	+4
20+	Blessed	+6
30+	Glorious	+8
40+	Legendary	+10

Legend Rewards

After each forge attempt, you will have completed an ascent of Mount Olympus. You will receive a reward for every ten ascensions.

10	Legendary portrait border
20	Ranine Orb
30	Bulbous Orb
40	Fiery Orb
50	Platinum Ball
