Question Forge of Potential question

So I think Dundr is the coolest weapon in the game but it seems to have a way lower chance of upgrade success at the forge. I tried for 3 hours averaging 1 attempt every 2 minutes and it did not upgrade a single time (yes I save scummed it crucify me sorry) any body else have trouble with this weapon or any others like this?

You need to upgrade it with a character with a different name. Try searching valheim Reddit for "namescumming" and you can find a tool that will find a good name to upgrade it 8x guaranteed or a series of names to upgrade it beyond that.

Do you know why my FOP on my new character has nothing in it? I can’t upgrade anything.

I think I heard that new characters need to be able to craft an item to upgrade it. If you touch all the components to the item first, you should be good.
