How to Use The Forge Best Combination Optimizer
Step 1: Enter Your Inventory
Input the quantity of each ore you currently have in your inventory. The optimizer will automatically calculate the best combinations as you enter your ores. Your inventory is saved locally, so you can return anytime without losing your data.
Step 2: View Optimized Recommendations
The optimizer automatically analyzes your inventory and provides personalized recommendations for every weapon and armor type. Each recommendation shows the optimal ore count, success chance, average multiplier, and the exact ore combination to use.
Step 3: Compare Results
Review all available crafting options side-by-side. The optimizer shows estimated damage for weapons and health bonuses for armor, along with active traits for each recommended combination. This helps you choose the best build for your playstyle.
Understanding Optimization Scores
The optimizer considers both ore multipliers and trait effectiveness when recommending combinations. Higher scores indicate better overall builds that balance raw stats with powerful trait bonuses. The algorithm prioritizes combinations that maximize both damage/defense and trait activation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the optimizer choose the best combination?
The optimizer evaluates all possible ore combinations (up to 4 ore types) for each item. It calculates a score based on average multiplier and trait effectiveness, then recommends the combination with the highest score that you can actually craft with your inventory.
Why don't I see recommendations for some items?
If you don't have enough ores to reach the recommended ore count for a specific item, or if you can't form a valid combination with 4 or fewer ore types, that item won't have a recommendation. The optimizer only shows feasible crafting options.
Does the optimizer consider trait synergies?
Yes! The optimizer's scoring system rewards combinations that activate multiple traits. It prioritizes builds that balance high multipliers with powerful trait effects, giving you the best overall performance.
Can I use this for both weapons and armor?
Absolutely! The optimizer provides recommendations for all weapon classes and all armor pieces. It automatically adjusts its recommendations based on whether you're crafting weapons or armor, considering different trait effectiveness for each category.
