QUENCH FORGE / PRESS KIT / 04
Ultimate Blacksmith Tycoon
Description
You are the shopkeeper of a small-town blacksmith shop — but not just any shopkeeper. You were born with the Appraisal skill. At a glance you read raw materials, decode every Modifier, and weigh the purse of each customer at your counter.
You don't fight. You hire adventurers, gear them up, send them into dungeons, and forge tomorrow's blade from what they bring back. That cycle is the economy of your shop — and the appraiser's eye for value becomes a literal game mechanic in your hands.
"You're not just a blacksmith — you're an appraiser who reads materials, hijacks the rarity table, and runs the town through your forge."

Key features
Play as an Appraiser-Shopkeeper
Unlock the Appraisal tech tree to literally read Modifier values, quality scores, and rising sale prices. The "eye for value" is a mechanic.
Dynamic Rarity Crafting
Materials and Modifiers set the quality score; items promote and demote across six tiers. No fixed-table draws — only systems you learn to read.
Dispatch-Style Dungeon RPG
Hire adventurers from 79 jobs across 7 ranks, gear 8 slots, and send them into dungeons. Combat is fully automatic — you spectate the battle log.
A Living Town & Customer AI
Four customer classes with their own hours and wallets. Public order, demand, and the day of week all shift who walks through the door.
The Stampede System
Neglected dungeons grow deadlier daily. Cross the threshold and the town is overrun — build walls, hire mercs, or research your way out.
80+ Tech Nodes · 10 Trees
Forge, Tavern, Clinic, Appraisal, Finance, Defense, Magic and more — Tier 1–5 with exclusive endgame choices at the top.
