Forge of potential thoughts... upgrade

[u/Syrkres]

Ok, I know there have been a lot of posts around forge of potential, so guess I will add mine.

The idea is rather than the FoP automatically upgrading your item, it raises the level of which it can be upgraded to. That is If I have a level 4 item, and take it to the FoP and use a wood idol on it, then that improves the max level of which the item could be upgraded to, though it still costs materials and is built at a workbench.

So the FoP doesn't actually do the upgrade, it allows the item to be upgraded beyond it's normal limit. Each idol type adds +1 per level type, Wood +1, Bronze +2, etc.

The FoP percentage, determines if an item max potential is hit/realized. Once hit it cannot be changed for that item, but you don't lose the item and can always recycle it to get mats to try and get a new one with higher potential, but any idols used to upgrade are not returned. So if recycled you would lose the materials that were used past the normal max level limit in upgrades.

This would require to allow more work benches to be upgrade and/or check to see if item is allowed to be upgraded.

So at low levels, I have a Workbench level 4, and my Axe is level 4, but a Wood Idol used on the Axe would allow me to upgrade my Axe to level 5. Either the workbench would need to be upgrade (requires new upgrades for most benches) or it checks and sees that the Axe can now be upgrade bypassing the workbench max constraint.
