Weapon Augmentation

Weapon Upgrade/Enhancement

Weapon augmentation in Remixed Dungeon refers to the Reforging mechanic offered by the Troll Blacksmith quest NPC. There is no “augmentation� subsystem that adds properties such as Precise, Swift, Heavy, or Light; the only in-game weapon modification beyond upgrading is the reforging service provided by the Blacksmith.

Reforging Mechanic

The Blacksmith's reforge combines two items of the same type (same `entityKind`) into a single item whose level is one higher than the higher-level of the two inputs.

  • Item kind: Both items must share an entity kind (e.g. two Short Swords, two Leather Armors).
  • Identification: Both items must be identified.
  • Cursed state: Neither item may be cursed.
  • Negative levels: Neither item may have a negative upgrade level (`level() < 0`).
  • Upgradability: Both items must be upgradable (`isUpgradable() == true`).

When the reforge is performed:

  • The higher-level of the two items is upgraded by 1.
  • The other item is consumed.
  • The hero spends 2 turns (`Dungeon.hero.spendAndNext(2f)`).
  • The `SND_EVOKE` sound is played.
  • The `Badges.validateItemLevelAcquired` badge check is run.

Differences from Upgrading

  • A regular upgrade (via Scroll of Upgrade or Scroll of Weapon Upgrade) raises the level of a single item by 1.
  • The Blacksmith's reforge consumes the second item while raising the first item by 1 — the net effect on a single item is identical to one upgrade, but the second item is destroyed.
  • For weapons, the Scroll of Weapon Upgrade is the upgrade path that may add or preserve an enchantment; the Blacksmith's reforge does not change enchantments on the surviving item.

Acquiring the Blacksmith Service

The Troll Blacksmith spawns on dungeon levels deeper than 11 (controlled by `Dungeon.depth > 11` in the spawn code). The quest has two alternative paths:

  • Gold path: Retrieve 15 pieces of dark gold ore and bring them together with the pickaxe the Blacksmith provides.
  • Blood path: Use the pickaxe the Blacksmith provides to kill a bat, then return the blood-stained pickaxe.

After the quest is completed, the Blacksmith will open the reforge window. Once a reforge has been performed, the Blacksmith will only say “I'm busy. Get lost!� until the dungeon is reset.
