Put your gold to work

Ten advanced forge ranks give high-level characters permanent goals for their gold and essence. Equipment selling and recycling have a clearer name.

The permanent forge now has twenty ranks in each path. The first ten keep their exact prices and bonuses. Advanced ranks start at level 100, with another rank available every twenty levels through level 280.

Each advanced Edge of Ruin rank adds one percentage point to its damage bonus. Eternal Cuirass adds one percentage point to maximum health, while Arcane Focus adds two percentage points to maximum mana. Completing the advanced ranks gives 10% more damage, 10% more health and 20% more mana, in addition to the original forge bonuses. Spell cooldown reduction remains capped at the original 20%.

Advanced upgrades begin at 25,000 gold and 250 essence. Prices grow with each rank. Every card shows your current bonus, the next bonus, the level requirement and the exact cost before you upgrade. Previously purchased ranks remain yours.

The equipment tab previously called Batches is now Sell & Recycle, making its purpose clear. Selling still requires a merchant, and existing protections for valuable equipment remain in place.
