'''Melt''' and '''Improve''' are the first two functions of the '''Artisan's Forge''' in the [[Infernal Artifacts League]]. Both unlock at '''League Tier 1'''. Melt destroys unwanted [[Affixes|affixed]] gear for materials. Improve spends those materials to raise the affix values on gear that you keep.

[[File:Infernal Artifacts Forge tooltip.png|thumb|300px|The Forge tooltip lists each function and the League Tier that unlocks it.]]

== Overview ==
To open the Forge interface, use the '''Demonic Anvil'''. The interface has four tabs:

{| class="wikitable"
! Tab !! Unlocks at !! Function
|-
| '''Melt''' || League Tier 1 || Destroy items for materials.
|-
| '''Improve''' || League Tier 1 || Upgrade affix values on items.
|-
| [[Transplant]] || League Tier 3 || Move affixes between items.
|-
| [[Masterwork]] || League Tier 5 || Final affix boosts.
|}

The top-left corner of the interface shows your material totals in this order:

# [[Forge Dust]]
# [[Forge Cores]]
# [[Upgrade Gems]]

== Melt ==

The '''Melt''' tab breaks down affixed gear into Forge Dust, Forge Cores, and Upgrade Gems. Melted items are destroyed.

=== How to melt items ===
# Use the Demonic Anvil and select the '''Melt''' tab.
# Stage items in the crucible with one of these methods:
#* Click individual items in your inventory.
#* Click a '''Bulk Add By Rarity''' button to add every item of that [[Rarities|rarity]], or click '''All'''.
# Check the '''Estimated Yield''' line at the bottom of the interface.
# Click '''Melt X Items'''.
# Click '''Confirm Melt''' in the confirmation window, or press Enter or Space. To cancel, press Esc.

To empty the crucible without melting, click '''Clear Crucible'''.

{{Note|Locked items are safe from bulk addition.}}

=== Yields ===
Each staged item shows its own yield. The video shows the following yields for adamant and rune platebodies:

{| class="wikitable"
! Rarity !! Forge Dust !! Forge Cores !! Brimstone Thread
|-
| style="color:#a335ee" | '''Epic''' || 60 || 0 || 1
|-
| style="color:#ff8000" | '''Legendary''' || 120 || 0 || 1
|}

For example, seven Epic platebodies melt into 420 Forge Dust, 0 Forge Cores, and 7 Brimstone Thread.

[[Brimstone Thread]] is a separate resource that trims skilling outfits.

=== Demonic powers ===
[[File:Infernal Artifacts Forge Melt demonic power warning.png|thumb|350px|Legendary items show whether their demonic power is banked.]]

Items that carry a [[Demonic Powers|demonic power]] show one of two labels in the crucible:

{| class="wikitable"
! Label !! Meaning
|-
| style="color:#e03c31" | '''Unbanked Power''' || You have not extracted this power into your [[Demonic Codex]].
|-
| style="color:#e03c31" | '''Already Banked''' || This power is already in your Demonic Codex.
|}

The interface also shows a warning that counts the staged items that carry demonic powers.

{{Warning|Melting an item with an '''Unbanked Power''' gives materials but does not add the power to your Demonic Codex. You must choose one: melt the item or extract the power.}}

== Improve ==
[[File:Infernal Artifacts Forge Improve tab.png|thumb|350px|A Legendary rune platebody in the Improve tab.]]

The '''Improve''' tab spends materials to raise the value of an affix on an item. You do not need a perfect roll when an item drops. If an item has the affixes you want at low values, improve them.

=== Affix tiers ===
[[File:Infernal Artifacts Forge Improve tab empty.png|thumb|350px|The empty Improve tab summarizes the tier rules.]]

* Each affix progresses from '''Tier I''' to '''Tier V'''.
* Each tier has '''10 micro-steps'''.
* Upgrades have a '''100% success rate'''. Upgrades never fail or break your equipment.
* Costs scale with tier. Low tiers require Upgrade Gems and Forge Dust. Tier IV and Tier V require Forge Cores.
* An item can have a tier cap. For example, a Level 40 Legendary rune platebody shows '''Affixes cap at Tier II'''.

=== How to improve an affix ===
# Use the Demonic Anvil and select the '''Improve''' tab.
# Click an item in your inventory.
# Select the affix to upgrade. Each affix row shows its current value, its value range for the current tier, and its tier and step.
# Check the '''Current''' and '''Projected''' values and the '''Step Cost'''.
# Click the upgrade button. If you lack materials, the button reads '''Need Materials''' and the missing material appears in red.

If an affix rolled more than once on an item, each roll appears as its own row.

=== Example ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Item !! Affix !! Step !! Current !! Projected !! Step cost
|-
| Legendary rune platebody (Level 40) || Damage reflected [30 – 40] || Tier I, Step 3/10 || +32.55% || +33% || 166 Upgrade Gems, 140 Forge Dust
|}

== Materials ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Material !! Source !! Use
|-
| [[Forge Dust]] || Melt || Improve, all tiers shown
|-
| [[Upgrade Gems]] || Melt || Improve, low tiers
|-
| [[Forge Cores]] || Melt || Improve, Tier IV and Tier V
|-
| [[Brimstone Thread]] || Melt || Trim skilling outfits
|}
