The Forge Items Guide
Items sit between raw gear and cosmetics. These small tools, keys, and gadgets improve your runs by lighting caves, speeding up farming, or unlocking shortcuts. Some are consumed on use, while others become lasting utility once you purchase or unlock them.
This collection covers three item families: consumables, essences, and misc utilities. Each table lists costs, effects, and any known requirements so you can plan upgrades efficiently.
Overview
Consumables provide short bursts of power like healing, speed, or damage boosts. Essences act as upgrade fuel that scales from early builds to endgame enhancements. Misc items cover keys, tools, and utility unlocks that expand where you can go or what you can access.
Essence and rune synergy
Higher-tier essences can unlock additional rune slots on late-game gear. Visit the Runes guide to see how those slots work.
