Precision Forge

[Mohana]

I am unsure if anyone else is having issues with the precision forge in Waterdeeep. I had the issue a couple weeks ago and again today where there is no echo and the forge doesn't get hot at all. .

There is no room to drop anything.

I sat there for a good fifteen minutes and watched the forge with no change. I have yet to try the other precision forge that I know of.

Did you try resetting the forge buy pulling the lever? I had the same thing happen to me a while back and a reset seemed to fix it.

[Mohana]

I tried resetting it. I tried logging out and back in and I tried a different metal.

Is this still an issue for anyone? I was not able to reproduce this.

[Mohana]

Thanks for looking into this, it appears it may be tempermental at times. I have not had a issue in a while, must have been the little mice that run around the forge.

[Harroghty]

No worries, it is governed by a fairly complicated series of programs and I don't have immediate recall of all its workings despite updating them a few years ago. If there is a consistent problem then I will be glad to trouble-shoot it soon, but if it's not a big deal then it's probably a rainy day project.

This happens pretty frequently to the Waterdeep version, but doesn't seem to happen much (if ever) to the Tantras version. I've not seen it do this for a long while though so hopefully is pretty rare now.
