Does the Forge work in Unity?

[kevdog45]

If it does not can I make my item in classic and port it over to Unity? I tried some pretty basic items. A ring with a scroll of charm monster template and it would not create. I kind of remember it only works with certain template item combinations but I thought that one would be pretty basic.

Yes it works.

However you can only combine a base item and a template that are the same type. So a sword with a magic sword, armour with magic armour. You can't combine a ring and a scroll since they are different types (and that's the same in Classic).

Thanks Zacchaeus, I was able to create the item I was thinking about. The Mandolin of the Funky Rodent. A mandolin that can influence skunks and alchemical skunks (Tome of Beasts 2) in the same manner that the Pipes of the Sewers influences rats. :)

If you change another item's type to match, you can combine some non-similar items but you'll want to make sure you cover the basics of whatever the end item needs to be. Rob2e did a video on the Forge just last week, so that might give some additional help.
