Forging physics

Every tier assumes you nailed all three minigames. Use these reminders before burning mythic ore.

Smelting

Heat management defines the weapon's base damage floor.

  • Practice on low-tier ores before melting Magmaite
  • Angel + cooldown potions let you retry quickly
  • Keep needle inside the gold band to avoid brittleness

Pouring

Stability minimises damage variance and durability loss.

  • Hold the pointer inside yellow zone for steady molds
  • Bad pours cause huge DPS swings
  • Shoot for 95%+ consistency on mythic ores

Hammering

Perfect timing multiplies every stat. Anything less downgrades tiers.

  • Treat the ring as a rhythm minigame
  • Perfect chain = +15% damage ceiling
  • Missed hits can drop an S weapon to B tier
