The Forge — Seasonal Gear

Every season, the Forge mints a full set of themed gear with passives you level up. Season 2's set is Arctis; Season 1's SolForge lives on as legacy gear. Here's everything about both.

/gear/ascforge

⚒️ Two Seasons of Gear

Arctis is the current frozen set — built, installed and now live with Season 2. SolForge is now a legacy set: keep it, play it, but no new keys. Jump to a section below.

🛠️ How Seasonal Gear Works

/gear/ascforge upgrade

Forge gear is netherite-equivalent equipment with a twist: every piece carries a named passive ability, and each piece has a Level that you raise to make that passive stronger and more likely to trigger. The whole set shares a look, a currency, and a full-set bonus.

The core loop
  • Every piece has a passive — armor, weapons and tools each do something unique.
  • Level I → VI. Higher levels raise the passive's proc chance. Level VI is Overmax, the peak.
  • Upgrade with the season's shards. Hold a piece and run /ascforge upgrade to spend shards and raise its Level.
  • Infinite durability — Forge gear never breaks.
  • Set bonus. Wear the full armor set for a season-wide bonus that boosts every passive at once.
  • Browse the whole catalog any time with /gear.

Only one seasonal set is craftable at a time — the current season's. When a new season starts, the previous set becomes a legacy set: you keep every piece you own and can still play it, but new keys and shards for it leave the store.

☀️ SolForge — Season 1 · Legacy

Season of the First Sun

Now a legacy set — Season 1 closed on July 26. Our first full seasonal set: sun-touched gear powered by Solar Shards. Charge your Solar Resonance meter as you play to ignite Radiant State, a server-announced power surge. Every SolForge piece you own is yours to keep and still fully playable — but new SolForge Keys have left the store.

Leveling & Overmax
  • Upgrade pieces I → V with Solar Shards via /ascforge upgrade.
  • Push a Level V piece to VI (Overmax) at the Archaeologist using a Seasonal Essence.
  • Every piece has infinite durability.
The SolForge Chest

Spin the seasonal gacha crate for gear and Solar Shards. The grand prize is a guaranteed Level V piece — the only way to mint a max-tier item — backed by a pity system so a streak of bad luck always pays off. SolForge Keys are available in the store while Season 1 lasts, and every dungeon clear drops one too.

Seasonal Titles
Stormforged · Solar Warden · Forgeborn · Radiant · Astraforged · Sunbound

Earned through dungeon clears, leaderboards & seasonal feats. Once the season ends these become unobtainable forever, and unspent Solar Shards convert to Legacy Fragments for future seasons.

SolForge Guardians

The SolForge Pokémon are the ancient guardians of the First Sun — each carries its own title, legend, and a unique Pokédex entry in-game.

❄️ Arctis — Season 2

Signature Arctis Pokémon

Eight frozen ultimate forms headline the season — each a defining form with one signature ability and its own signature move.

🎴 How to Get Forge Gear

  • Season Chest keys — spin the current season's chest, the Arctis Chest. Keys are sold in the store and the grand prize is a guaranteed Level V piece.
  • Dungeon clears — every clear drops a seasonal key, so running dungeons steadily builds toward a full set.
  • Shards from gameplay — mining, chopping, hunting and the season's tools all drop shards you spend on /ascforge upgrade.
  • Overmax materials — Seasonal Essence (and its equivalents) push a Level V piece to Overmax at the Archaeologist.
