Hi HN,

I developed The Forge Calculator, a specialized utility website for the popular Roblox game, The Forge.

The core crafting system in The Forge involves complex ore combinations and non-obvious success probabilities. Players often waste valuable rare resources on trial-and-error because they can't accurately predict the final item's success rate, traits, and true power before hitting the forge button.

The Solution: Data-Driven Forging Optimization

The Forge Calculator is designed to eliminate this guesswork and transition players from "guessing" to "precise calculation." It provides a comprehensive, data-driven platform with several key features:

Real-Time Probability Analysis: Users select up to four distinct ore types, and the tool instantly calculates and displays the exact success chance percentages for every possible weapon or armor outcome.

"Effective Value" Optimization (Our Core Feature): We go beyond raw numbers. We convert trait values into EFFECTIVE DPS (Damage Per Second) and defensive metrics to show the true absolute highest potential of an ore combination. For example, a trait like Rivalries (20% crit chance) is calculated as a 10% average damage boost, ensuring our rankings reflect the real-world performance gains.

Advanced Planning Tools:

Trait and Stat Previews: See exactly which item traits will activate and get estimated damage/health ranges before you commit resources.

Inventory Optimizer: Use the advanced tool to calculate the most efficient "Tank" or "Glass Cannon" setups based on your current ore stock.

The tool is completely free, built to empower all The Forge players—from new players learning the basics to veterans optimizing their meta builds—with the precision needed to maximize crafting efficiency and achieve peak performance.

Please check it out and let me know your thoughts or any feedback!
