Thanks 
I’m not super good at forging, and rarely get many in the 300s so I was super excited when this one went so well for me. I really need to use better ingredients, maybe then I could get the results a little easier without the RNG being so op in my favor.

I understand, I don’t really like to forge. I put in a stack of tools one day, loaded up special gums, and got damage as a random boon - I was SO Happy!

Nice, that’s always awesome when it happens, i normally get durability that way if I get one I wanted. I actually really like forging, but I spend so much time doing other things I mostly forge for myself and toss extras in my store, or to my wife if she needs one.

You only require devestating damage level 5 on a 3x3 rift hammer in order to 1-shot T7 rocks so forging these hammers for T7 is very do-able using cheaper/standard ingredients. Doing it without quirks/defects adds a little cost to the method is all.
And I’m sure you’re well aware that quirks are the only way to achieve “perfection” on a tool.

Yeah when I saw that said above I was excited that I was going to be able to actually make this tool. Why I went for lvl 7 was two fold:
First, I ended up with just over 500 stability left, after I had the aoe correct, and I didn’t have a gum to target the third trait I had.
Second, I wanted to have a 1 shot aoe hammer ready in case they do ever add the mythical level 8 planets.
I do agree with you there the first quirk was sinking, so no harm no foul, Can’t be too choosy on these, second was ravouns? The one that makes you drain hunger but have more energy. Bonus energy, plus with well fed buff no down side. The third was when hungry use less energy, so not ideal, two rerolls got me “aggravated” so not too big a deal, not much to attract right now in the tunnels we dig.
I figured you were familiar with the damage requirements. I may be assuming a lot here… but with all the F’s in your name are the author of the damage calculator web site?
nope, but I do use that site. I get mistaken for pfiffel often though 
haha, yes I had just assumed you were!
Well I’m glad I cleared that up in my head finally, lol.

This brought a little tear to my eye :’) I agree so much.
I might try and do two gums on the next rift hammer and use the extra slot for draining 2 and load up some quirks too…

haha, I will always be an outspoken advocate of quirks!
Yeah personally I just try to get as much action speed on them as I possibly can and use a starberry pie. Because even with maximum energy use reduction they still use more than a diamond hammer and with extra durability forged on them they are slower than a speedy sapphire. So if you can get the extra action speed at high HP then you have struck gold.

Ugh One more deck slot for quirk transmute and I could do it… rng is being too mean today I guess.

Gotta agree with you guys! A well chosen quirk or two can really be an improvement. And actually, I’m a huge fan of “sinking feeling” for harvesting reactives.
