• Each recipe requires exactly 4 elements
• Elements can repeat in a recipe (e.g. Fire + Fire + Water + Water)
• Order doesn't matter — only the combination counts
• Every element in the game has exactly one recipe to create it

• All active crafts from all players compete for forge power
• Your Forge Speed determines your proportional share
• More players crafting simultaneously = slower for everyone
• Strategic timing matters — craft during off-peak hours for faster results
• Current forge load is always visible in the Forge tab

• Includes base speed + level scaling + avatar bonus
• Displayed as a multiplier (e.g. x3.2) relative to a new player
• Higher level = significantly faster crafting
• Each avatar adds a flat bonus to your speed
• No cap — your speed grows as long as you progress

• A regular catalyst grants +50 speed for 4 hours
• A Large Forge Catalyst grants +500 speed for 4 hours on its own timer
• Both can run at the same time. Using the same type again only extends that type’s timer
• New tasks get the boost immediately; active tasks update within about a minute
• Regular catalysts can come from the Market, packs, or Tickets. The large catalyst comes from Tickets

• Pick a target element → system builds the full dependency tree
• Missing base elements are auto-purchased (fixed MST price shown upfront)
• Reforge steps are automatically included where needed
• Total cost (base elements + reforge) shown before confirmation
• One click confirms the entire chain — tasks queue sequentially

• Start while remaining is above 0: that running craft keeps the artifact until it finishes.
• Remaining on the recipe = how many are still free for a craft that starts now. Already minted and already-running crafts are not free.
• When its first step starts, an ordinary chain holds an available target artifact slot and one available slot per distinct intermediate element. Chains get these holds in start order, only while slots are free. Pending chains hold nothing.
• A step without a hold can still get an unreserved slot when it runs. If it gets no artifact, it makes a whole element, skips its automatic reforge, and exactly the charged reforge price is returned when you collect the final element. Holds are consumed or released when the corresponding step runs; cancellation, failure or completion releases any remaining holds.
• Partner-event crafts lock remaining when you queue them, not only when they start.

• Fractured elements cannot be used in further crafting
• Reforge restores the element to usable state
• Reforge cost: 80% of the element's value in MST
• Reforge time is proportional to the element's value (processed by the Forge)
• Craft chains automatically include reforge steps and their costs in the total

• You become the First Discoverer — your name is permanently linked to the element
• You receive a guaranteed legendary artifact (not random — always legendary)
• You earn ×500 XP — plus ×2 if you predicted the result correctly
• The recipe becomes known and available to all players

• You receive a Cracked Shard — a weak element that serves as a consolation prize
• You still earn ×10 XP (more than a regular craft)
• Cracked Shard is always in usable condition (not fractured) and has its own artifact pool
• The failed combination is permanently blocked — no one can waste materials on it again

• Tickets arrive on both success and failure
• Rarity and count scale with the ingredients you spent. Higher cost → more and rarer Tickets, up to Legendary
• Open Tickets on the Fortune tab. Odds are on the ticket
• You also get Tickets from daily check-in and some progression rewards

• The global limit is 10 successful discoveries in the last 24 hours, shared by all players — not a per-player or calendar-day limit.
• Pending, active and failed attempts do not count and reserve no discovery slots. The first successful experiment to finish takes the next slot.
• When the limit is reached, the system cancels all remaining pending and active experiments. Their results stay unknown. Collect the cancelled orders to recover refundable materials and MST.
• New experiments cannot start until the oldest counted discovery leaves the rolling 24-hour window. Each successful discovery counts for 24 hours from when its experiment finishes, not when the task was created or collected. The Experiment screen shows when the next slot opens; there is no daily reset.
• You can manually cancel only pending orders. Craft & Experiment orders can be cancelled only if none of their steps has started. You cannot manually cancel active processing, but the system can cancel it at the discovery limit.
• A completed miss is not a cancellation: materials are consumed and you receive a Cracked Shard, XP and applicable Tickets, not a material or MST refund.

Cost Range Estimate

• As more players attempt recipes for undiscovered elements, the Forge gradually reveals cost range estimates
• Accuracy improves through 5 tiers based on total community attempts
• From 0 attempts: first wide estimate. At 5+: rough. At 100+: precise range
• The cost range tells you the approximate total value of ingredients needed

Special Element Hints

• Special (uncraftable) elements always reveal which recipes they belong to
• If a special element is an ingredient in a recipe, it's automatically shown as confirmed
• This is always visible — no threshold required

Community Usage Reveals

• When the community uses an ingredient in 50+ experiments targeting the same element, its role is revealed
• If the ingredient is part of the recipe: it's confirmed and auto-placed in the slot
• If the ingredient is NOT part of the recipe: it's ruled out and cannot be selected
• Example: if 50+ players used Fire trying to discover Steam, the system reveals whether Fire is actually in Steam's recipe or not
• Duplicate ingredients are revealed progressively — each 50 uses reveals the next copy
• A confirmed count means at least that many copies. An exact count also sets a maximum for that ingredient; absent means zero. Exact 1× does not require the other three ingredients to be distinct.

Early Reveals (Probabilistic)

• Before reaching 50 uses, each experiment has a small random chance to reveal an ingredient's role
• The chance grows as usage count increases — more experiments = higher probability
• The reveal is based on a deterministic formula — no server luck involved
• Multiple early reveals can happen for the same ingredient as usage grows
• After a failed experiment, watch the dice animation to see if any clues were unlocked

How the Pool Works

• When an experiment fails and produces a Cracked Shard, 20% of the ingredients' value is added to the pool. Special elements from events before crafting launched (Halloween, WLD, Holiday Spirit, MST, Valentine's Day, Easter) add no tickets and nothing to the jackpot: they are meant for their event recipes.
• When a craft produces an artifact, 50% of its mining power is added to the pool
• The pool accumulates over time as experiments fail and artifacts are created across all players
• The next player who discovers a new element takes 50% from the pool — the rest stays, so the pool can never be fully emptied

Why It Matters

• Every failed experiment contributes to the next big reward
• Discovery becomes even more rewarding as the pool grows
• The jackpot creates a shared incentive — other players' failures fuel your potential win
• You can track the pool size and recent activity in the Forge tab

• When a recipe using a special event element is discovered, a countdown begins
• You must START your craft before the timer expires — finishing after is perfectly fine
• The current crafting window is 48 hours (subject to change)
• Once the window closes, the recipe becomes permanently unavailable
• Any queued tasks for expired recipes are automatically cancelled with a full refund
• Tasks already in progress are never interrupted — they always complete normally

• Elements crafted from event ingredients are exclusive collectibles
• They are not used as ingredients in any other recipe
• They cannot be reforged — their artifacts are their primary value
• Collect their artifacts while the crafting window is open!
