Spend the low-cost crystal option for reliable item level progress after the rework.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Guaranteed Forge Leveling
Forge interface in Haven, using the system described in the May 2026 forge update.
Before you go
- Own an item eligible for leveling at the Forge.
- Have the crystals required by the displayed option.
- Decide whether guaranteed level progress or an extra bonus chance is the objective.
Farming steps
- Open the Forge interface in Haven and select the item you intend to improve.
- Review its current level and the available crystal options.
- Select the minimum crystal-cost option when the goal is a level increase.
- Check the confirmation details and spend the crystals.
- Verify that the item’s level increased after the forge action.
- If you want an additional bonus chance, compare the higher-cost option before choosing it.
- Repeat with the same or another eligible item only while the crystal cost fits your plan.
- For basic leveling, the update makes the lowest crystal option the reliable choice.
- Read the current Forge display before spending in case later service changes alter costs or options.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat for eligible items as long as you have crystals and want further levels. Each forge action consumes resources; this is not a free or unlimited farm.
Common mistakes
- Paying extra crystals automatically for a guaranteed level is unnecessary under the stated update; choose the minimum option for that goal.
- Assuming a higher-cost option is required for success confuses bonus chance with leveling reliability; compare the current option text.
- Spending crystals without selecting the intended item can improve the wrong piece; confirm the selected item before proceeding.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the item reaches the level you need or your remaining crystals are reserved for another upgrade. Switch to gathering crystals if the desired forge action is unaffordable.
