This Stardew Valley guide details the Volcano Forge on Ginger Island, focusing on weapon forging, tool enchantments, and obtaining Cinder Shards. The 1.6 update added significant changes, including the Mini-Forge and innate weapon enchantments.
Obtaining Cinder Shards: These are crucial for forge functions. Find them by:
The Mini-Forge: After achieving Combat Mastery, craft a Mini-Forge (5 Dragon Teeth, 10 Iron Bars, 10 Gold Bars, 5 Iridium Bars) for convenient forging and enchanting outside the Volcano Dungeon.
Weapon Forging: Enhance weapons (up to three times) using gemstones and Cinder Shards. Each forge level requires more shards (10, 15, then 20). Gemstone effects include:
Best Weapon Upgrades: Prioritize Emerald and Ruby for increased DPS. Combine with Aquamarine or Jade for critical hit enhancements. For survivability (e.g., Qi Challenges), Topaz and Amethyst are beneficial.
Unforging Weapons: Reset weapons to their original state (recovering some shards, but not gemstones) by selecting the red X in the forge. This removes forged upgrades, not enchantments.
Infinity Weapons: Upgrade Galaxy Sword, Dagger, or Hammer into Infinity Weapons using three Galaxy Souls (each requiring 20 Cinder Shards). Forged upgrades and enchantments are retained.
Galaxy Souls: Acquire these by:
Enchantments: Apply random effects to tools and weapons using a Prismatic Shard and 20 Cinder Shards. Re-enchant for a different effect.
Weapon Enchantments: Randomly selected from: Artful, Bug Killer, Crusader, Vampiric, Haymaker. Bug Killer and Crusader are generally most effective.
Innate Weapon Enchantments: Use a Dragon Tooth for guaranteed enchantments from one set, and a chance at a second set. These enhance stats like damage, critical hit power, speed, and defense.
Tool Enchantments: Twelve enchantments, each tool-specific. Examples include: Auto-Hook (fishing rod), Bottomless (watering can), Efficient (various tools), Powerful (axe, pickaxe), Preserving (fishing rod), and Reaching (hoe, watering can, pan).
