Would love a method for higher tier materials. (Blink, rift)
Seem to struggle following gem guides while trying to forge these higher mats
I will have to experiment, but I dont actually fully know myself how to forge em yet. I think theres a way to get infinite vigour and stability, but im not sure on the exact order.
Two things I do plan to add to the guide pretty soon include advanced healing bombs (with aoe, damage and healing), and shotgun slingbows. As for Lucent gems, il get back to ya! ahah

And the new Tools will come aswell i think you said? Or did i missed them in the OP?
I’ve added Buff Bombs and Chisel Changers to the thread. The only other tools would be the armour buff, but the process for forging those is identical to forging buff bombs, just with fists/slingbows instead of bombs
Il check it out. Cheers!
I’ve used it for gleam bow totem. Mind you it’s not cheap
I saw this and have been using it to a certain degree, it’s just very costly. Especially with the effectiveness being so low
Yea I wouldn’t call myself a master forger but this is the only way I know how to do it and get max on a rift tool

Just a lil confused on the slingbow process? On the first 3 rounds you have if it isn’t fly fast Decon? Is that supposed to be if it isn’t dev damage? Am I reading that wrong or just confused? Lol I was thinking Fly Fast was a Lightness gum boon.
Good spotting! It is supposed to be devastating damage, and you are correct.
I’ve fixed it - cheers
In place of draining boon I’ve been having good luck using defect removal 1 at the very end since it only uses 100 vigor. Last 2 hammers I got 10 dam, aoe 4 and dur 8. Can’t thank you enough though for putting this guide together!

Why did you replace the diamond hammer with the ruby version? I don’t see the advantage of a slightly faster hammer, if we have to use a strength brew. Why not just use a speed brew? Or what am I missing?
Also, for building I also use an AE hammer but I don’t want to keep a strength brew on all the time.
Is the new method much cheaper? Or do you prefer ruby hammers for mining?
You also get more dura with the ruby
Diamond hammers are better for tier 6, but the reason I prefer ruby is the following.
In order to one shot tier 7 with a non-lucent gem hammer you have two options
- Use damage brews
- Try to forge the Daylight/Nightime damage quirks.
Given the horrendous RNG involved with the latter I prefer to use damage brews.
Given this, I prefer ruby because, compared to diamond
- It still one shots tier 7 (you just need a higher level damage brew)
- Its slightly faster
- It has slightly more durability
