Team to beat the 10th boss (Beclutcher) from left to right: Grogmar (Marked Target), Zoe (Catastrophe), Lambug (Waning Blows) and Beorn (Revenge). All have epic level 10 items with 10 forge upgrades. Lambug has Powerful helmet and belt. Zoe has Powerful hat and pendant. Grogmar has Powerful Mask and Ring. That's to do almost double damage without getting killed too quickly. The boss kills a hero after 7 turns anyway, so too high health is wasted. Might as well do more damage to kill him faster. I forgot to add trophies after switching teams, so those make it even easier.

How does adding more heroes to an expedition give a penalty? It's so much faster! 1 x 12 heroes is faster than 2 x 6 heroes or 3 x 4 heroes. The only benefit of splitting up the group is not having to come back to the game multiple times a day and being able to run it overnight for 3 times the profit instead of it stopping after 4 hours.

Forge & Fortune isn't a game you return to multiple times a day because you just can't wait to play it again. You return to it multiple times a day (for like half a minute each time) to donate some items to not waste resources. A completely mindless and soulless grind.

This game starts off as a fun little game and ends as a major chore you're glad to finally be done with. Good games make you feel like you never want them to end, not the other way around. Who here is praying for level 11 to be released?

63 Days to 100%. After beating the final boss, start with level 1 gear and work your way up from there, the speed/rarity bonuses help on higher tier gear. Before closing the game, use fortunes for epic gear, you'll end up with wasted materials so spending them on getting an epic is worth. Also switch to the T10 materials, they are so slow that getting a jump on them is worth far more than burning time overnight on lower tier ones that come in fast. Fusing is your friend, fuse up anything and everything so you're never waiting for an epic. For inventory management, keep 40 Rare and 20 uncommon of each thing, takes only 2 slots of space per item to fill the museum and other rarities are a short fuse or desynth away.

I've made the mistake of trying to mostly finish a lot of items on level 8, 9 and 10 instead of just beating the game as fast as possible and then fill up the museum starting from level 1. Level 1 resource collection becomes extremely easy since you'd be extremely overpowered, so you'd reach very high floors in the dungeon, which means a lot of resources per second. When you finish donating items from low levels, the crafting rate and rarity rates go up a lot, which makes it easier to finish the high levels. Finishing the high levels first is gonna take you longer and for no benefit since low levels are already really easy to finish with the lowest rates.

The inventory limit is really annoying. I just want to swap out which items I wanna craft based on the amount of resources I have and what I need without having to sell a bunch of items first and ending up keeping them until I donate all of them to the museum.

Why is the museum locked behind so many levels? At the 9th floor I really don't care if it increases my epic rate anymore. I could have used that on floor 1 but who cares at this point when I'm 1 step from game end

"As for adding 6000+ UNIQUE items to the Museum? Forget it! I haven't got the time for a ridiculous goal like that. Maybe if I was 2 decades younger I'd be able to complete it by the time I'm as old as I am now, but at my age,, I'd probably be in the grave from old age before I even approach that goal." - me, June 23rd, 2023. Today on reconnecting since Kongregate only allows you to have 1 game active while I have 3 ongoing, I discovered that I'd already donated 6364 unique items and got the badge. Given the overflow, I probably actually had enough to complete it 1-2 days ago. My error was in estimating that EVERY level would be as hard to complete as level 10. yes, you need just as much to elevate a level 1 white item to level 10 as you so a level 10 purple, but by then you're so powerful you can get upwards of 100 material PER TICK on level 1 so you just blast through it. Same with other low levels, but not quite as fast. All I can really say about my previous comment is "oops"...

I ran into the problem as well. If you have the browser tab open and [for me close laptop, desktop probably sleep] it will pause the game. To get around it you have to close the game tab and then it will do a time-based estimation of progress.

Beat the game first, then start filling the museum with level 1 items and up. That way you can use the crafting boosts to complete level 10 items much faster instead of struggling through level 10 first.

@noekrb: I donated a level 10 Powerful Trinket. What do I get? It's probably just a bug that get's you nothing since you can't go back and donate level 1-9 trinkets.

I wonder if it's possible for someone to give someone else their savefile and that person getting all achievements instantly. Is there protection against that?

For some reason the game isn't working in the background. I came back to the game almost 5 hours later and the resources were increased by only 15 minutes worth. Also the fuses were still going and there were also barely any items made. Do you need to shut the game down and load the game hours later instead of going into standby and coming back later? Maybe that will cause it to calculate time correctly.

Did you know you can donate a powerful trinket to the museum? From the inventory page, click on your trinket, open the museum sidebar, and click the purple +0.

Ok, you know whats really frustrating? I farmed the double time option and whenever I close my browser it automatically goes off. So why did I farm it on the first place, then ? :)

Finally got the impossible badge! Took me 120 days. You need to be patient, because the last 4 levels are taking a while to collect the ressources. Very nice game, the esthetic is really well done, Kongrats to the devs!

You REALLY want to be careful with crafting trinkets. Set a timer to prevent creating too many because you can sell them back at WAY less money than you crafted them for. For example a level 10 trinket costs 6.7 BILLION gold while only selling for a worthless 500 gold. That's a 13.4 MILLION times reduction. Compare that to other games where you can sell back items for half or at worst 1/10th of the price you bought them for.

110 days, almost down to the last three sets, and I finished bat chunks way ahead of the other two materials because I only fully built the characters I planned to use in the final boss fight, most of which are in that team. Money's not really an issue anymore since everything's already been crafted, so I've been letting them continue while I build up the equipment on my characters with the bat chunks. Once that's done...I guess throw them at whatever's slowest and put the remaining characters on boss fights. Not sure what the fastest time is for hitting 100%, but I think my pace is pretty good.

Actually kind of enjoying level 10 with the museum. I'm nearing the end of the game, and I have plenty of time to craft all of the equipment I need at an easier pace. Definitely misjudged the amount of gold needed, though. Burned through half a trillion already and I'm not even half done.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The Museum Inspection tab should display the resource type and the amount needed and also the gold needed when hovering over a button. Maybe also gray out buttons if you don't have enough, just like how buttons are grayed out in the item menu on the left.

Boss 10 Defeated 29d 11h 49m 29s. Money was my biggest issue while getting gear. Eventually got enough to finish upgrading 4 sets of Epic +10 gear and L9 trinkets. Spent about an hour on boss trophies for a bunch of extra stats. Been crafting 4x Truth Teller and 1 Jaswstriker while afk for money and essence. Fusing to Epic and then desynth gives more essence than 3 rares or 9 uncommon, if you have the cash. Fortunes are definitely worth for epic gear when going for long afk.

Is it considered cheating to download a finished save file? Because I'm seriously considering that with the OUTRAGEOUS museum badge requirements.

100 days in, almost have the level 9 museum section done. Late game advice: If for whatever reason, you have heroes that aren't doing anything important and don't need gold, send a team after bosses so that you can boost your boss trophies. I had too many items to start a new set and didn't have anything in the material group they were working on, so I decided whatever improvements I could get on my team would speed up the material gathering.

If you're trying to beat The Goblin King, I used Neve, Beorn, Alok and Grim ALL with their MAXIMUM skill level with ALL level 9 equipment at +10. Oh yeah, you also need AT LEAST a level 9 Power Trinket on ALL of them. Seriously, TheCongressman, this is getting to be over the top ridiculous. As for adding 6000+ UNIQUE items to the Museum? Forget it! I haven't got the time for a ridiculous goal like that. Maybe if I was 2 decades younger I'd be able to complete it by the time I'm as old as I am now, but at my age,, I'd probably be in the grave from old age before I even approach that goal.

I really like the museum inspection tab. I can just donate an item of multiple forge levels immediately without first forging multiple times without even knowing what forge level I still need.
