Disclaimer: This isn’t intended as a guide, or do I suggest it is the best way to forge, there seemed to be some interest in another post of my rift forging process so I thought I would show my steps.
I will be aiming for devastating damage and both Longevity boons (heavy duty and fly fast)
Attempt 1
Attempt 2
Repeat first 3 rounds
Attempt 3
Repeat first 4 rounds
Attempt 4
Repeat first 4 rounds
round 5
Success! Devastating damage achieved, and a nice little initial boost
Vigour catalyst used to clear board
round 6
As I have now got the boon with the biggest fail chance, and i am targeting both Longevity boons, I will set up for multiple rounds of corruption boon.
First 2 rounds of invigoration paste for vigour boost
round 14
Uh oh, second longevity boon (heavy duty) missed and critically lucky got instead.
Decision time, do I now scrap and try again, or go with what I’ve got, as it’s actually not a bad set up?
Let’s go with it.
Vigour catalyst to wipe board and add some vigour
Now that I have a full board of boons, let’s pause to count up mats used so far:
6x deco 3
4x effect gum
4x longevity gum
4x vigour catalyst 2
4x invigoration paste 2
2x protection paste 2
2x fate paste 2
8x corrupted boon
round 15
The defect bar is getting a little high for my liking, and I’ve got a bit of vigour to spare, so use defect reversal 2
round 24
Now at level 6 damage, which is good and I want to se if I can spread the boon points a bit, so I’m gonna clear the board
I also hit a defect, but not enough pints to activate
round 26
Now let’s just see how high I can get the boons, slight error here, I intended to use protection first, not fate.
round 36
At this point I have level 8 damage, level 5 distance and level 3 critical chance.
I could squeeze another corrupt boon, but the chances of hitting a defect and activating one is relatively high at this late stage, so I think I will finish these here.
This is the final result.
I’ll count up the mats used
6x deconstruction resin 3
4x longevity gum
8x effect gum
6x defect reversal catalyst
10x protection paste 2
8x fate paste 2
22x corrupted boon 2
6x vigour catalyst 2
6x invigoration paste 2
2x setting resin
Remember this is for 2 slings, so half the amounts for a single. And includes any wasted mats from failed attempts (if you spot any mistakes in my counting, just let me know)
I have no idea if this a lot of mats or a little, and don’t know what the average costs would be.
And questions, comments, advice, constructive criticism would be well received!
