Gear Factory

1. Pick a tab (Weapon, Armor or Blade) and a rarity. Each recipe has a fixed cost and time: Rare takes 30 minutes, Epic 2 hours, Legendary 6 hours and Exotic 12 hours. The full list is in the table below.
2. Every recipe makes one of two pieces, 50% each. The Rare Weapon recipe, for example, gives a Harpoon Gun or an Explosive Revolver.
3. The star of the result depends on your Forge Level. The factory lists every piece and star you can get with its chance, which is 50% times the star chance. At Forge Level 2 the Rare Weapon list reads Harpoon Gun 0★ 42.5%, 1★ 7.5%, and the same for the Explosive Revolver.
4. Press Start Forging. The factory works on one piece at a time; trying to start another shows Factory producing.... The result is already decided at this point: while the job runs, the list highlights the exact piece and star you are getting.

See Gear Upgrades.

Forge Level goes from 1 to 50 and belongs to you, not to the building. The bar at the top of the factory shows your Forge EXP toward the next level. Each rarity climbs its own star ladder as Forge Level rises:

The star matters because it is the star you keep. The gear screen only offers Star Up for Exotic gear, so a Rare or Epic piece stays at the star it was forged with. A higher star means a higher level cap, and the level cap decides how many random attribute slots the piece can open (one at Lv.65, a second at Lv.100, a third at Lv.135).

Example. At Forge Level 11 a Rare piece always comes out 5★ with a level cap of 55. An Epic piece forged at the same Forge Level is 0★ (90%) or 1★ (10%), but even at 0★ its cap is 65, high enough for one random attribute slot. If you have the Epic materials, the Epic recipe gives the stronger piece.

• Hero assignment. The Forging Speedup posts open at player levels 17, 22 and 26. A hero's bonus grows with rarity and stars; see Hero Stars & Skills.
• Speedups. A running job can be finished early with speedup items from the factory screen.
• Gear Material Choice. If you are short on a material, turn on the auto exchange switch next to it. Your Gear Material Choice packs of that rarity then count toward the cost.
• Auto-Forge needs the Premium Monthly Card.

• Your first gear comes from pirates, not from this factory. In Season 1 the first four levels of each World pirate give a piece of Uncommon gear on the first kill: Homemade Pistol from Pirate Vanguard, Goggles from Pirate Elite and Wooden Stick from Pirate Boss. The factory never makes Uncommon gear, and the main quest asks you to enhance a piece of gear to Lv.5 before it asks you to build the factory.
• In Season 1 the Exotic recipes are hidden, not locked. The factory leaves out recipes from a later season instead of greying them out.
• Exotic gear always comes out at 0★, at every Forge Level. Its stars come from Star Up afterwards: 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 Energy Cubes plus 100,000 to 1,600,000 Enhancement Stones per star. Unconfirmed: this is what the factory's own chance list shows; the server rolls the result.
• You cannot dismantle Legendary or Exotic gear in Season 1. The message only mentions Legendary, but the check blocks both.
• Unconfirmed: how much Forge EXP a forge gives. Forge EXP is tracked server-side; the game data only defines how much each Forge Level needs.
