Notes:
- Unlike in Path of Radiance, you can forge any number of weapons in a single chapter
- In the Japanese version, you must acquire forging points to forge weapons
- One Coin can be used on a forged weapon to add a random stat bonus
- The rest more-or-less functions idenitcally as in Path of Radiance.
Weapons That Can Be Forged

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sword | Iron | Steel | Silver | – |
| Lance | Iron | Steel | Silver | Throw |
| Axe | Iron | Steel | Silver | Throw |

Forging Points (Japanese Version Only)
To begin forging a weapon, you must acquire forging points by selling other weapons of that weapon type (excludes Crossbows). For example, Sword forging points are earned by selling Swords. 50 forging points are required to forge one weapon. The amount of forging points that you obtain is solely determined by the weapon’s rank, as follows:
| Rank | Points |
|---|---|
| E | 1 |
| D | 5 |
| C | 10 |
| B | 25 |
| A | 50 |
| S | 100 |
| SS | 200 |
Note: The number of uses left is not a factor, so it is recommended to sell near-broken weapons.
Forging Cost
| Extra cost | Mt | Hit | Crt | Wt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +10% | +/- 1 | +/- 5 | +/- 3 | +/- 1 |
| +40% | +/- 2 | +/- 10 | +/- 6 | +/- 2 |
| +90% | +/- 3 | +/- 15 | +/- 9 | +/- 3 |
| +160% | +/- 4 | +/- 20 | +/- 12 | +/- 4 |
| +250% | +/- 5 | +/- 25 | +/- 15 | +/- 5 |
Example:
A Silver Sword costs 1800G. Forging a Silver Sword with +5 Might, +15 Critical and – 2 Weight would cost 1800 + ([2.5 + 2.5 + 0.4] x 1800) = 11,520G.
