Walkthrough: Forging

In League of Angels, The Forge is a system that allows players to improve the stats of their character and heroes.

#Enhancement
The first method of upgrade is through enhancement. This increases the stats already existent on the equipment item. Enhancements cost progressively more each time they are applied to the same item.



#Gem Socketing
The second tab in the Forge menu is socket.

Gems may be put into equipment to increase their effectiveness in battle. Socketing allows for stat customization; there are currently eleven different types of gems in the game, each with their own stat.

It is up to the player to decide whether it should be used for reinforcing a weakness or making a strength even more potent.

There are, however, limitations; only one of each type of gem may be socketed in the same item, regardless of level.

Socketing Rods, acquired from Gemology and various shops, may be consumed to open new sockets on equipment. By increasing the sockets, the item’s stat portfolio is broadened when it becomes fully gemmed.

Gems can also be reused. When swapping out a gem for a better one, unsocketing the old gem does not destroy it. It can then be used on a different piece of equipment.



#Synth
The Synth tab in the Forge menu allows players to craft items.

Equipment, gems, and other items such as Holy Crystals and Cherubstones may be crafted here. The materials required will be displayed on the right.

Everything other than gems may be crafted with a 100% success rate. Gem synth, on the other hand, has a 25% chance to fail. To prevent loss of gems, players may consume Synth Scrolls, acquired from various in-game shops, events or mini games such as Gemology.



#Exchange
The fourth tab of the Forge menu is Exchange.

Gems and weapons can be swapped here for a small gold cost.

Gems can be exchanged for any other type of gem at the same level. This is also the case for weapons. Level 40 weapons can only be exchanged for other level 40 weapons; level 60 weapons can only be exchanged for other level 60 weapons.

#Refinement

This feature of Forge allow players to change equipment refinement attributes and Star Level. It can greatly increase attribute bonuses.

Level Requirement: 42



Select the equipment you want to refine and click Refine. Some Refining Stones will be consumed; 5 new stats will be generated randomly. If the new stats are desirable, click Replace to save them; if not, you can click Refine again to get a set of new stats.

Lock Attributes
You can spend Refining Stones or Diamonds to “lock” the desirable attributes, so only unwanted stats will be reset. Simply click on the lock icon next to the stats you want to keep, and then use Refine.

Refine Combo
A Refine Combo will activate if the Star Level of every piece of equipment worn by the hero reaches the specified level. The Star Level of equipment is determined by the lowest Star Level attribute.

Tips:
1) In refinement, give top priority to your main character.
2) BR does not indicate much. Before deciding to replace old attributes by new ones, consider seriously whether the new attributes are better than the old ones. For example, before you refine your weapon, it has a BR of 100 (with MATK = 40), after refining your weapon gets BR of 200 (with PATK = 140 replacing MATK=40, and the other attributes stay as before), but you are a mage, that makes the new attribute pretty useless.
3) Be patient in refining. Always go for the equipment with the worst attributes first.
