What's Inside
- Upgrading raises a gem's strength; recycling returns Archaic Essence based on the gem level and the forge's region.
- Gems can be removed intact and moved to another weapon.
- Most forges stand in the Shroud.
How to Unlock
The Alchemist's quest Finding And Using A Gem Forge leads to the first forge in the Springlands. The quest needs Powerful Alchemy done.
Rewards
- The quest gives Archaic Essence, a Gem of Bleeding and 150 XP.
- Each forge caps how high it raises a gem: Springlands 10 to 12, Revelwood 15 to 18, Nomad Highlands 20 to 22, Kindlewastes 30 to 32, Albaneve Summits 35 to 40, Veilwater Basin 45 to 50.
- Each biome's forges use that biome's Archaic Essence tier.
Tips
Upgrade costs at a Night Sanctum forge are lower than at a regular forge in the same biome.
