Can't forge equipment

I just got the game and everything is as good as expected, however when I go to the Blacksmith, the button for Forge Equipment isn’t active

like, the Tab itself doesnt work?

I mean, you cant really “forge” equipment in d4. you can purchase a blacksmith cache there for… i think it was 10m gold. Or craft a random mythic item for 2 respendent sparks.

At the blacksmith in the screen that opens when you click on him, at the top are buttons … Salvage, Repair, Forge Equipment, Tempering, and Masterwork. Both the Forge Equipment and the Masterwork buttons are inactive

hmmm eventually someone can confirm, but i think they are level locked… i kind of forgot

My character is level 35

That makes no sense, I’m new to D4, but I’ve played the franchise since the beginning and I’ve always been able to craft equipment at the blacksmith

Newsflash: new game… things may be different from previous games.

They could communicate requirements better. I suggest googling requirements for the functions you can’t access.

Yea its lame but it also might be that your gear is 700 i dont think you can put 2 tempers and masterwork them just a temper

D1 has no crafting and D2 crafting (except for a couple of quest-locked options) was only through the Horadric Cube.

Also, as someone else pointed out, different game, different rules.

Most of the videos I found are for, tempering (Which I like), masterwork and such. I just want to make something at the blacksmith.

You can essentially “buy” a random equipment cache from a blacksmith in exchange for mats, but if you’re looking for something like D3 where you can roll a specific item slot or legendary at the blacksmith, that doesn’t exist. At least not currently.

OK I should have said since they introduced the option. Where do you get the caches you mentioned

You get them from the blacksmith forge tab… for 1mil coins and a bunch of materials, the result of which will not be worth the cost. I just did a quick google search and found the details… but not the requirements. It’s a mostly ignored function, because it has no value.

Just farm obols and gamble whatever slot you want at the purveyor of curiosities.

Been awhile so I just checked, it is the forge equipment option, and it is locked to level 60. It gives you a handful of random legenadaries.

Ok Thanks, Ya’ll for the information. Not at particularly useful change to the Blacksmith in my opinion. I do like the tempering option though

May the odds be ever in your favor.

D4 had crafting at the beggining, then they removed it in a patch, and now with VoH kind of reinstated it again.
