Forsaken World – Free MMORPG – Overview – Fortification System
By CrabClaw @ January 26, 2011 at 5:48pm

Fortifying equipment in Forsaken World is a quick and easy way to take a regular item, and turn it into something so much more.

Fortification does two main things. Primarily, it will increase the statistics that your weapon or armor has. The higher the fortification level, the more damage your weapon will do, and the more defense and related statistics your armor will have. Secondly, it will also unlock sockets for you to embed gems into. Any weapon or piece of armor can reach a maximum of four sockets.

Fortifying an item is a painless process. First and foremost, you need star crystals. There are many grades of star crystals available, ranging from Dim Star Debris to fully fledged Star Crystals. The better quality the star crystal, the higher the chance for success. Most items will have a maximum fortification level of 12, so shooting for that is never a bad idea. The bonuses at such a level are truly impressive.

Now, as is expected, success in fortification is not a guaranteed thing. However, failing to fortify an item will not penalize you at all. You'll lose the fortification crystals, but the item itself will not break, and you won't lose any levels of fortification in the process. This way, even if the chance of success is small due to using lower level crystals, you can still fortify your gear with ensured results by simply being persistent.

Getting your gear into prime fighting ability is an important aspect of excelling in Forsaken World. This fortification system, along with all of the other gear enhancement options available, serves as the corner stone upon which your gear customization can be built upon. Take advantage of it!

Star Crystals are really expensive.

oh yeah IDK if already know but theres an alternative of getting them, other than buying them. Here: http://forsakenworldhq.com/2010/11/refining-fortifying-gearweapon/#comment-13288

Well this is a great item enhancing system, the item doesn't break when it fails you just lose money and crystals, unlike their other mmos like jade dynasty, worst enchancing system ever and it's expensive, i nearly made my desk collapse when i broke my epic weapon upgrading it.

I LOVE the fortification system in FW. I actually broke a keybord when failing to fortify my sword in BOI once xD BOI fortification is a pain in the *** and I really LOVE the idea of no penalty, even though you probably gotta purchase star crystals in the cash shop, thats fine to me. can't wait to get to play at february 23rd. cya all ingame! :D

If the ref. rate will be like JD it will take a lot to get it good enough :D
spadeofhearts @ Feb 15th, 2011 3:10PM
oh god, please don't tell me we have to buy star crystals. If you don't have to buy them, where/how do you get them?
tatuxx
I ask the same thing :/
sapel @ Feb 13th, 2011 10:41AM

shamanboys @ Jan 29th, 2011 1:39AM
cherry2010, you're right, but I've got the 2nd message. In this message is written that I can play with my friends giving to they the codes are written too, in this message. And says I can play. I've tried to play and I can't... Why? I've waited 2 Phases... I was patient... but... but... I CAN"T PLAY!!!
adamwindyflower1
yes, but did you ENTER the code?
hinaichchan
Because you DIDN"T receive the ACCEPTENCE email STATING that YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO FORSAKEN WORLD CLOSED BETA PHASE (insert phase # here) You just RECEIVED the emial STATING that you have been ENTERED into the RANDOM DRAW and I've waited for A YEAR so stfu
giac21
i waited a year too
cherry2010 @ Jan 28th, 2011 9:13PM
To all those who keep whinning about signing up but not being chosen to play yet. can yall not read and understand? from the very first, the administrators have spelled it out, whats there to misunderstand?. step 1. sign up and register. this gets you a beta key. step 2 redeem that key, and that registers you to be in the pool for random pick. (there have been some who just registered and got an invitation whithin a short time, others like me waited thru 2 phases without that invitation. nobody promised that I or anyone else would get an invitation just for entering the Key.This brings us to step 3. step 3 patiently wait, and heres a thought, read up and learn all you can from the forums and other sources. All this impatient crying floods the forums so much that only 1 out of every 6-8 threads has anything to do with the game. Your installation or computer nor any other problem has nothing to do with why you cant get on the game, its simply that you havent been chosen yet. The onr good thing you can all look forward to is this. Phase 4, as far as I have found out, is where everyone who has recieved a beta key, and entered it, and has downloaded the game, and has not recieved an invitation by Email, will be able to play the game before OB. This last phase, #3 was for introducing, and working out the bugs in the Game store,(leaf) system. once that is done, they will be able to add the remaining beta testers to the servers for final test time before OB. The one thing I would like to say to all who have not been invited yet is this. It has nothing to do with you on a personal or any other reason. Invitation has been on a purely randon basis. like the lottery. PW respects all its loyal players and has been operating this system in as fair a way as possible, all with the purpose in mind of finally presenting us with a really wonderful game with as many of the bugs worked out as possible. You dont rush a good thing and risk it being trash. I recieved my invite, in the form of the Email and have been trying out all the classes and races that I can. So far as I have found, this game has REAL potential. The Fortification system is refreshing. especially for all of us who have grinded and labored to get a good weapon or gear, just to have it break or lose its stats by attempting to fortify it. ARRRGGGHH! Whith this system the worst that happens if fortification fails is that you are left with your gear or weapon the same as it was before the attempt. Now, from what i've seen the mats are available in the leaf shop, but you can also get them from some quests and even some drops. Meaning that even those who cant afford the leaf shop still have a chance on fortifying stuff. It is also very easy to do, meaning the interface is easy to understand and do. As a persolal opinion I think yall will find this game well worth the wait. There are also some other really good aspects to this game that I will comment on thru the appropriate blog. By the way, I appologise for the opening comments on the invite system, but reading some of the comments I have read, there is a lot of misunderstanding out there concerning the order of things and it was about time someone laid out the order for those who dont understand why they havent been invited yet. Paiutince it will be worth the wait.

and your one of the largest posts i've seen about ppl crying to get in....
akatsukilover1
that is so true. PPL just be patient. It's not like the game it going anywhere. Just wait, that isn't hard, just, find something to do. Example. I do art, watch anime, read, do sports while waiting for this. And when it comes out, it would feel like a long wait. so just stay calm ppl. I KNOW it's an epic game, and the most epic I have seen. Except for 1. But this comes in second place next to it. I know you all are excited for it, but are also whining,getting angry, bothered, and annoyed it's taking this long, and yet it's still not out. But ppl, does every single person have to say it, so the whole world knows? (Srry if it sounds mean, it's not supposed to -.-) But think of it, once it IS out, how amazing it is going to be? SO let's all calm down, and have patients...now, enough of this lectures, and the non-fun thing, and seriousness. LEt's talk about what i have to say. (besides the things above) I can't wait to be a vampire (assassin) It's going to SO FUN. and I'm going to make my bro jealous. :P can't wait to play. Isn't everyone? anyways. I hope it comes out soon (as does everyone else) ANd I hope you all didn't take this comment in a wrong way. It didn't mean anything MEAN or CRUEL and HORRIBLE. it was alone meant, to just say. OR throw it out there. So, what else must I say....hmmmm....If anyone is confused to what 'anime' means, it's those cartoon, with big eyes, and sometimes odd and unnatural hair color sometimes. their made in Japan. and are really cool. some ppl think their stupid. But that's their thought, and this is mine. They should at least respect that. Anyways, anime are also Manga. What is manga, it's a drawn version of an anime. Now i'm sure ppl here are confused, why i'm talking about this. Cause I can. and some ppl, really don't know this kind of stuff sometimes. REALLY. Anyways, I hope everyone has fun when this game comes out. ^^ HAVE FUN and...be calm. ^^ KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!
hinaichchan
Thank you! I was waiting for a year and didn't complain or anything and got accepted into the 3rd phase and its really worth the wait. Plus everytime i go to the forms i get pissed off at all the bitching people do its so annoying and i always leave the forms upset and feeling like i want to punch someone in the face :)
harusilent @ Jan 28th, 2011 2:36PM
