Blacksmith and the forge
Upgrade chances up to +15, costs, bonus rolls and the rune rules, with a practice simulator.
Blacksmith Brann Emberhold: +0 to +15 upgrade simulator
Vaelgate's Golden Forging Rule: Items are NEVER destroyed on failure! Upgrades +1 to +5 have a 100% success rate. From +6 to +15, a failed attempt drops the item by 1 level (-1) while keeping its gems and bonuses. There is no protection item or pity: every attempt spends its Gold and materials either way. These values are in testing.
