mine ore
Every ore costs 1,000 $FORGE: half is burned, half goes into the hoard. The chain draws its metal — iron, copper, silver, gold or cobalt.
⚒
three become one
Strike three pieces of the same tier and metal into one of the next: ore, ingot, blade, relic, crown. You rarely hold three of a kind — the market is where you find the rest.
⚒
21 crowns
A crown mold opens every 8 hours. Striking crown k pays the hoard ÷ the crowns still unstruck. The 21st takes all of it, and the forge goes cold.
