The Forge

The Forge is an ancient machine hidden deep in the caverns of Tharis Island. Its exact origins are still unknown and shrouded in secrecy. This strange structure lies dormant, but some claim that, under the right circumstances, it may come alive once more. The Forge holds great power for those cunning and brave enough to unlock its potential.

Lore

In the deepest, darkest depths of the caverns lies a massive, outlandish machine: The Forge. Its exact origins are still unknown and shrouded in secrecy, though some factions still have a vested interest in learning more about the powers held by such ancient technology. Only the bravest of Prospectors will have a shot at uncovering its secrets, but keep in mind many who tried before have been lost forever. Or worse, clawed their way back battered and scarred. Changed. Exploring the abandoned faction camps and research facilities may hold vital evidence in unlocking the mysteries for those foolish enough to ignore the warnings left by early exploration parties.

Forge Recipes

There are three separate types of forge recipes:

1. Tharis Iron and Pure Tharis Iron can be forged into Tharis Iron Ingot, Charged Tharis Iron Ingot, and Super Charged Tharis Iron Ingot.
2. Upgrading a piece of Armor or a Backpack to a higher rarity, using a
3. The Forge can be used to alter gear, by giving them unique perks. This involves a (Super) (Charged) Tharis Iron Ingot, a piece of Armor or a Backpack, and one or two items specific to a recipe. This also upgrades the rarity of the piece by one level.
4. An Abyss Alloy can be used to get a random exotic or legendary item from The Forge.

Tharis Iron Recipes

These recipes forge Tharis Iron into several types of ingots. It takes 20 seconds for them to be turned into ingots.

The rarity of the ingot is one higher than the rarity of the iron put in, though there is a small chance for the item to be two tiers higher instead.

Gear

Prospectors can Alter their gear with Progenitor tech. This gives the gear one or two gear perks. For example, extra stamina, or reduced damage from storm lightning.

This involves a piece of armor or a backpack, a (Super) (Charged) Tharis Iron Ingot, and an item unique to that specific recipe.

Mechanics

Using the forge this way needs:

1. A piece of armor or a backpack
2. A ( Super) ( Charged) Tharis Iron Ingot. The ingot must be exactly one rarity higher than the piece of gear being upgraded.
3. One or two 'optional recipe specific items. A piece of gear is able to have up to two perks. If an item is used in multiple recipes, the resulting perk is chosen randomly. It is sometimes beneficial to use a rarer item that is used in less recipes, to increase the chances the resulting perk is the perk you want.

Forge Animation Length

The time it takes for the forging to complete depends on the rarity of the piece of gear being upgraded.

• Rare into epic -> 30 seconds
• Epic into exotic -> 45 seconds
• Exotic into legendary -> 60 seconds
