Forging & Refining

In Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, the ability to forge and refine weapons is a powerful tool for customizing your army's offensive capabilities. While not a deep crafting system, the game allows for the enhancement of existing weapons using collected resources. This process can increase a weapon's base might, accuracy, and critical hit chance, making it more effective in combat. Furthermore, certain rare resources can be used to imbue weapons with special properties, such as elemental damage (fire, thunder, wind) or unique combat effects that trigger under specific conditions. Mastering this system is crucial for optimizing your units and ensuring they have the edge against increasingly difficult foes.

The forging and refining process typically takes place at a blacksmith or a similar facility within your base of operations. You'll need to have acquired the necessary resources, which can be obtained through various means like enemy drops, treasure chests, or by dismantling unwanted gear. Each weapon may have a limited number of refinement slots, and the type of resource used can influence the outcome of the refinement. For example, using a "Flame Shard" might add fire damage, while a "Steel Ingot" could simply boost the weapon's raw power. Careful consideration of which weapons to refine and which resources to use will significantly impact your army's combat effectiveness throughout your journey in Fortune's Weave.

Refinement Options
