How to Forge Armor in The Forge
Forging armor is very similar to crafting weapons in The Forge, as it requires the same ores. Ores can be mined from caves using a Pickaxe. Once you have enough ores, head back to the Forging station, where you started the first quest of the game.
In the Forging station, you’ll find a Crucible, and interacting with it will open a forging menu. Select the armor option and choose a combination of any three or four ores you have in the inventory, and add them to the crucible. However, if you add more ores, then your chances of getting a better armor type increase. Moreover, going for better materials improves the quality of the forged armor.
To complete a forging process, you’ll need to complete a series of three mini games: Smelting the ore, pouring the hot metal into the mold, and hammering and shaping it. Here’s how you can ace all three forging mini games:
- Smelting: In the first mini game, you move the green arrows on the left side of the screen and heat the ores. There will be a bar on the right side indicating your progress.
- Pouring: Now, a black bar appears on the right side of the screen, with a needle. Your goal is to keep the needle inside the yellow area of the bar. Hold the left button of the mouse to raise the needle and release it to drop it.
- Hammering and Shaping: Hammering the mold is easy; you just need to tap on it. However, shaping it can be a hell of a task. You’ll see two circles appearing on the molten weapon. One circle is still, and the other one gets smaller. You need to click exactly when both circles are closest to each other. When successful, you’ll see a green ‘Perfect’, or a red ‘Bad’ when poorly done. Make sure to stay focused, as this determines the quality of your armor.
Once you have completed all the mini games, your forging process will be completed, and you’ll receive the forged armor in your inventory. After getting an armor, you can decide if you want to sell it or upgrade the stats using runes and essences.
Tips and Tricks to Craft Better Armors in The Forge
Forging an armor might seem easy, but there are a lot of things to it. Depending on the mini-game, the quality and combination of ores, your armor quality can drastically increase or decrease. That’s why we have listed some tips and tricks that will guarantee you a top-tier armor:
- Use high-quality ores like Demonite and Darkryte for forging to increase your chances of getting stronger armor with better stats.
- Mixing low-quality ores with high-quality ones will average out your chances of getting better armor.
- Add as many ores as you can to increase your chances of getting heavier and bigger armors like the Samurai, Knight, and Dark Knight Armors.
- To get the best armors, you need to follow certain recipes. These recipes follow a certain rarity and number of ores. We have mentioned the best armor recipes in our guide. You can simply follow it, collect the required ores, and start forging to get the best armor right away.
