Chapter 02

Forge basics.

Four resources and progression ideas shape the early forge. Learn what each one is for before deciding where to spend.

Core currency

Hammer Points

Your early-game tempo. Hammer ore, earn points, and spend them on upgrades that make the rest of the forge move faster.

Permanent power

Perks

Account-wide bonuses that survive prestige and keep future forge cycles from feeling like a full reset.

Rare currency

Gems

A scarce resource for relics and special progression moments. Treat every Gem as a deliberate long-term choice.

New eras

Hammer tiers

Each tier represents a new era of ore, materials, and possibility inside your workshop.

Smith's note

Read the forge, not just the numbers.

Look for the system that changes your pace. The best purchase is often the one that unlocks a new conversion, not simply the one with the largest number.
