I made one of the new account bound mystic forge conduits since I figured it’d be convenient to forge green weapons and sigils/runes without having to go back to town.

I always thought the promotion rate was ~20%. However after forging 120 green weapons and ~40 sigils I have yet to get a single rare out of this portable forge.

Is the rate much lower/0 on the portable forge as opposed to the one in LA? I don’t want to keep wasting my greens/sigils if there is no chance of getting better ones back out.

Just looking for more data at this point, please post your results from using the new portable forge if you have them.

looking at the upgrade rate when doing the standard linen production routine, it seems to be the same as always, whether through LA forge or conduit.

120 weapons means 30 attempts (if I understood your data correctly). If that is true, it would be very unlikely: 0.123% chance (meaning it happens just over 1 time in 1,000 tries of forging 30 in a row).

However, I forge daily and I’ve been seeing the same results as always, ~20% upgrade rate, regardless of whether it’s greens→rare, rare→exotic, gear or sigils, etc.
