Noxx’s Arcane Forge
Steel, ingots, gemstones, rings, and necklaces that once served little purpose beyond lining a merchant’s purse can now be brought together at the forge.
With a reusable Forgemaster’s Kit, combine one ordinary weapon, one metal ingot, one gemstone, and one plain piece of jewelry. The weapon and its three materials are consumed in the forging, while the kit remains in your hands for future work.
Across the full forge, 21,600 equippable weapons can be created.
