Tempering forge

>temper

The Tempering Forge raises a tool by one temper level per attempt, up to the cap of its quality. Each attempt consumes a share of the tool’s recipe. The higher the target level, the likelier a failure, and a failure can lower the temper or break the tool.

What sets it apart

Four outcomes, not two

An attempt either succeeds, or fails in one of three ways: only the resources lost, one level of downgrade, or the tool broken. Up to level 3, a failure only costs resources.

success · resources · downgrade · break

The Blacksmith’s Ring protects

When equipped, it removes a share of downgrades and breaks and turns it into “resources only”. The share is 20% plus 4% per temper level of the ring, so 60% at temper 10.

0.2 + 0.04 × temper

The cost climbs with the level

Aiming at level L costs 10% × L of each ingredient in the recipe, rounded up and never less than one. A broken tool is repaired for 50% of its recipe, but loses a level.
