Practical guidance based on cited public descriptions and reports. No first-hand game session was performed; confirm changing values and rules in the current panel.
Pick a mode and a slot
Weapon and Armor are distinct forge modes. Start with the slot that limits your next run, then inspect the preview for the selected mixture.
Compare a small set of mixtures
Use up to four ore types in the calculator. Only known reported values contribute to an estimate; an unknown multiplier blocks the result.
Confirm the live preview
The calculator gives a mathematical average. The historical recipe table records one displayed class chance. Neither promises a named item, its skill or its final Power.
DECISION EXAMPLE
Apply it to your next run
Three reported Apex ores and four Panic-Core ores produce an estimated average of 133.14. That number is not a guarantee of a Greatsword.
When to pause
If the live preview differs, trust the current panel and keep the dated report as history.
