What the bench charges to work on your gear, what salvage gives back, and what a sale is worth · 4 services · 12 materials · quality +5% a step

How the price is worked out

in one paragraph

Every service costs a flat amount plus a little more for each item level, then the whole thing is multiplied by the item's rarity — so the better the piece, the dearer the work. Materials scale by that same rarity multiplier, rounded up. Salvaging a rare gives you back 4 Tempering Dust, one more for every 10 item levels on it, plus 1 Binding Shard. Selling instead pays 4 gold plus 1.5 for every item level, times the same rarity multiplier.

Reforge

reforge

Reroll the numbers on every affix.

Every affix keeps its kind and tier; only its value is rolled again within that tier's range — the ranges are on the bench.

Tempering Dust

Glittering grit from salvaged gear. Reforges and hones what the forge already made.

A crystallised promise. Cuts one enchantment away and seals another in its place.

A sliver of the deep cold. The Frostwyrm dreams of the mouth it was broken from.

Notes from the game's design doc

GDD v0.5 §11.3 ordinary crafting: Reforge rerolls every eligible numeric affix value (ranges shown before confirmation); Replace swaps one affix; Enhance (rpc craft_upgrade) adds one visible Quality step (+5% inherent output each, max 3, NEVER touching item level); Promote (rpc craft_promote, player-facing UPGRADE) raises rarity one step — common→magic rolls to 1–2 affixes, magic→rare to 3–4, Unique is never craftable. Reforge/Enhance/Promote consume Tempering Dust, Replace consumes Binding Shards (GDD v0.5 §13.3). Gold = (goldBase + goldPerItemLevel x item level) x rarityMultiplier; materials scale by the same rarity multiplier (rounded up).

Cost rebalance 2026-08-30 (Jimmy: realistic scaling, better gear = pricier craft). Anchors: gold/run ≈ 2-3k at T10 (IL50), ≈ 8-10k in the Nightmare band (IL100). Reforge a rare IL100 ≈ 1.9k gold — a real decision, not spam. Enhance escalates per step (stepMultiplier^currentQuality): perfecting an endgame rare to Quality 3 is the long-term gold sink (~3k/6k/11k). Promote rare goldPerItemLevel 18→24 applies the 2026-08-28 watch-knob (promote-farm of forge fodder).
