How to Craft the Relevator in The Forge

Crafting the Relevator gauntlet in The Forge is a challenge that many players face. It’s one of the best melee weapons you can get, but it takes the right ores, careful forging, and a bit of luck. Let me explain exactly how to increase your chances of getting this strong gauntlet.

Here’s how you get the Relevator in The Forge

The Relevator is a gauntlet weapon known for its good balance of damage and speed. It deals about 9.6 base damage, attacks every 0.69 seconds, and has a range of 6 studs. This makes it a solid choice if you want fast, reliable punches.

But crafting it isn’t straightforward. Your chance to get the Relevator depends on how many ores you use and their quality. Using fewer than 7 ores lowers your odds and weakens your weapon’s stats. The best approach is:

• Use at least 7 ores for a 20% chance to get any gauntlet
• Use 9 ores for about a 65% chance and better stats
• Using 11 ores can give max power but might change the weapon category

Avoid using less than 7 ores because it reduces your chance and stats. Using too many ores is better for bigger weapons, not gauntlets.

What ores should you use?

Not all ores are equal when crafting the Relevator. To boost your chances, pick high-rarity ores with strong multipliers and useful traits. Some of the best ores include:

• Eye Ore
• Magmaite
• Fireite
• Darkrite
• Rivalite

Try to avoid mixing in too many low-tier ores since they lower your weapon’s quality and stats. For example, a good 9-ore mix could be 3 Eye Ore, 3 Magmaite, and 3 Fireite. You can swap some with Darkrite or Rivalite to get better multipliers and traits. Remember, no recipe guarantees the Relevator, but these combos improve your odds.

How ore multipliers and traits work

Each ore has a damage multiplier and traits that activate when they make up a certain percentage of your mix. Traits start working at about 10% share and are fully active around 30%. For example, high-rarity ores like Eye Ore increase damage passives when you reach these thresholds.

Mythical ores like Demon Eye and Dark Eye give a +15% damage passive at 10% partial and 30% full trait shares. Using tools or calculators to plan your ore mix helps you hit these trait percentages and get the best bonuses.

If you want to plan your ore mixes carefully, consider using the The Forge Crafting Calculator which shows how traits and multipliers stack up before you spend your rare ores.

Step-by-step crafting process

Here’s how to craft the Relevator step by step:

1. Mine your ores from rocks like Basalt or Volcanic Rock using your pickaxe. Focus on the rare ores mentioned above.
2. Go to the Furnace (Forging Station) near the blacksmith on any map. For example, in Stonewake’s Cross, look for the anvil icon on your compass between the Potion Seller and Runemaker.
3. Select Weapons → Gauntlet and add your 7 to 11+ high-quality ores into the crucible.
4. Complete the three forging mini-games:
   • Smelting: Pump the bellows to keep the heat bar full.
   • Pouring (or Molding): Keep the indicator inside the yellow zone with small adjustments.
   • Hammering: Click when the circle touches the inner ring for "Perfect" hits and chain them for better quality.
5. Check your result. If you get a gauntlet, it might be the Relevator. The Relevator has about a 1 in 4 chance among successful gauntlets. If not, salvage the weapon and try again.

Why the mini-games really matter

Your skill in these mini-games affects your weapon’s quality. Poor timing lowers the forge quality and can produce weaker weapons. Focus on steady, precise inputs instead of rushing. Perfect hammer hits especially push your weapon into the top quality tier.

If you want to improve your forging mini-game skills, you might also find tips in guides about crafting other rare weapons like the Hook dagger useful, since the forging process is similar.

What if you don’t get the Relevator right away?

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get the Relevator on your first tries. Forging has a random element. Keep mining the best ores, practice the mini-games, and salvage weak weapons to try again. With patience and practice, you’ll get there.

How does the Relevator compare to other gauntlets?

Relevator has a slightly slower attack speed but balanced damage, making it a reliable choice. It pairs well with heavy armor for a tanky fighter.

A quick tip

If you want to plan your ore mixes carefully, use online crafting calculators. They show how traits and multipliers stack up before you spend your rare ores.

Crafting the Relevator takes preparation, skill, and patience. Focus on mining the best ores, master the mini-games, and don’t settle for weak results. With persistence, you’ll get that powerful gauntlet to punch your way through The Forge.

Take your time, plan your ores well, and practice your forging skills. The Relevator is waiting for you.
