The Forge - Enhancing System Guide
Complete guide to enhancing in The Forge Roblox - learn how to upgrade weapons and armor, enhancement levels, stat bonuses, failure risks, and tips.
Enhancing is the upgrade system in The Forge that boosts your forged gear's stats and unlocks rune slots. However, failed enhancements can downgrade your item!
How Enhancing Works
Enhancement Process
- Forge an Item - Create a weapon or armor piece first
- Visit Enhancement NPC - Find the enhancer in town
- Select Item - Choose the gear to enhance
- Pay Materials - Enhancement costs ores/gold
- Roll for Success - Success = upgrade, Fail = possible downgrade
Failed enhancements at +3 and above can downgrade your item by one level. Plan carefully!
Enhancement Levels & Rates
Each level increases stats but decreases success rate:
| Level | Success Rate | Stat Boost | Fail Risk | Rune Slots |

| +1 | 95% | +5% | None | - |
| +2 | 90% | +10% | None | - |
| +3 | 85% | +15% | Low | +1 |
| +4 | 75% | +20% | Low | +1 |
| +5 | 65% | +30% | Medium | +2 |

| +8 | 20% | +70% | High | +3 |

Pro Tips
✅ Start with forging quality gear
Enhance good base items - junk in = junk out.
✅ Don't rush high levels
Failure can downgrade your item. Take it slow.
✅ Use protection items
Some items prevent downgrade on failure (if available).
✅ Stop at +5 for most builds
+5 gives 30% boost with manageable risk.
✅ Save rare materials
Only push +7 and above on best-in-slot gear.
✅ Add runes after slots unlock
Rune slots appear at +3, +5, +7, +9.
