A forge is a dungeon feature that appears in EvilHack, and is represented primarily by a red left curly bracket, {. They can be used in manners similar to fountains, e.g. dipping items into it, but are filled with lava rather than water - you can also use them to forge specific weapons and equipment, a feature adapted from the furnaces of SpliceHack.[1]
Contents
Forging
Forging requires a pair of component objects and a hammer of any type. There is no required skill or attribute score to craft a given item - you must simply stand on the same square as a forge and use the #forge command while wielding your chosen hammer. Then, place your two sets of objects on the forge - both objects must be metallic or gemstone, with the exception of saddles used for making barding.
The Blacksmith's Cookbook
The Blacksmith's Cookbook is the name of a novel that details a list of recipes for crafting various weapons and armor at a forge.[2][3] The book itself is not necessary for the forging process, and serves as a form of in-game reference. The first chapter is a general overview of how forging works, with subsequent chapters detailing possible combinations of objects and their end products—the list of recipes below is presented in the same order given by the in-game book.
The Blacksmith's Cookbook is always found in a chest within Goblin Town, placed behind the first section of iron bars across from a guaranteed forge; there is a 65% chance of a war hammer appearing in the chest as well. The book can also generate randomly or appear in bones files, making it possible to obtain multiple copies.
List of recipes
While placing the components for the desired object will always produce the crafted item, order of placement is important as well. The crafted item will usually take on the material of the secondary object used: For example, a mithril scimitar used as a base with a steel spear will produce a steel trident, while using the same pair of objects with the steel spear as the base and the mithril scimitar as secondary produces a mithril trident; combinations that would result in a material that is not possible for the crafted item (e.g., copper for a dwarvish weapon) use the first item's material instead. In addition, the crafted item will also inherit the second object's beatitude as well as the higher between the two components' enchantments.
Object properties have an additional effect on forging: when forging items using an object with a property, the forged object will inherit that property; if both objects have properties, the result will inherit the secondary object's properties. After forging using such items, the forge has a 1⁄6 chance of disappearing.
There also exist artifact weapons and artifact armor that can only be made by forging two specific artifacts - this is the only way in the game to obtain these artifacts, as they will not generate randomly and cannot be wished for. Creating an artifact at a forge will cause it to cool down and no longer be usable.
