Double Dura-Line (Cheaper than 2 gem/titanium tools!)
-Insert tool
-Insert 5 Longevity Gum
-Insert 3 Trait-Reduction Gum
-Insert Pure Boon 3 until out of stability/Vigor
-Retrieve Durable new tool
But what happens when you mix them together?!?! Don’t do it!! =P
(j/k… you should totally do that. But you might have to add some goodies in those empty deck slots you have there =P)
This can be done much cheaper!
3 gums is more than enough, if it’s not and you get something else (very low chance), decon resin it (or boon removal 1 until you get it or until it’s gone and try again)
and use one of the cheap boons that adds defect points, 9 times out of 10 there won’t be enough defect points to actually add one to it.
if there is a defect point use that defect removal catalyst, it removes 50% of the defect points, use it until the defect is gone.
Again tho, I’ve done this before the patch, only needed 1 to 3 boon compounds like that, did stacks of 9 at a time and only once out of the 10 times did I have to remove a defect.
Remember if the defect/quirk icons aren’t solid yet they won’t be added when you set it!
Special gums to taste (I’m a rebel, i roll max 2)
Boon compound of your choice
Keep going till it’s done
Ta-da.
Edit: step 0, insert bomb of choice.
For regen, cheaper bombs are better, for healing you want better (more dmg) bombs. Note that this method is cheap and dirty, not advised for use on expensive bombs if you want to be sure to get healing, Decon resin is your friend.
Biggest tip is watch that stability bar… the first time I forged something I actually got something good… until my stability ran out and I lost everything (I didn’t notice the bar running down) We might make this clearer with a dialog telling you the chances of your stability running out if its >0%.
My second tip would be to play around with it on the testing branch first (since you can cheat for all the items there).
I think it’s F9 which brings up a panel that lets you type in the name of which resource you want and quantity and it appears in your inventory. The last time i was in testing it wasn’t working so i’m not sure if you have change anything in settings now for it to be available.
Edit: There was some sort of experience loaf you could get too to level up straight away. Can’t remember the exact name of it though.
