Forge is one of the Blacksmith options in Nioh 2. Forge allows you to create Weapons, Armor and Tools by using Gold, Smithing Texts and Smithing Materials. The rarity of the forged item is random, but the outcome chance is heavily affected by the Smithing Materials rarity.
Forging is one of the most important aspects of Nioh 2, allowing players to create a solid base for Weapons and Armor that can later be infused and upgraded by using the Soul Match and Temper options.
Smithing Texts
Smithing Texts serve as a recipes for creating Equipment. After obtaining a text, talk to the Blacksmith and you will permanently unlock the ability to craft the equipment detailed in the text. This unlock is only valid for that specific character. Smithing texts can be dropped by Bosses and Enemies or found inside Chests.
Smithing Materials
Smithing Materials are required to forge equipment. The same Smithing Material can drop in all rarities increasing or decreasing the rarity chance of the forged item. These materials can be obtained in various ways, such as rewards from completing Missions, dropped by Enemies, Bosses, randomly looted at various locations, or found inside chests.
