The purpose of this series of guides is to introduce you to the features and game mechanics of modules and crafting in Golem Overlord. This is the second post of the series and will focus on how to burn, reroll, and upgrade modules.
If you are not yet familiar with modules and how they work, you can read the Golem Overlord Module Guide: Module Basics which explains the basic features of modules including types, stats, and quality. It also shows how to obtain, identify, and equip modules.
The Pyrite Forge is where you make modifications and upgrades to modules.
You can enter the Pyrite Forge using this icon on the main scavenging page.
Inside the Pyrite Forge, you currently have the option to modify a module in one of four ways: craft, quality, reroll, and upgrade.
Everything that happens within the Pyrite Forge requires burning one or more Golem Overlord assets.
As a reminder, the reroll feature allows you to burn 2 identified modules and pyrite to receive one new identified module.
Here are two identified modules that are not very strong. The two small stats are not the best category and they both have low qualities of -1 and -2.
The reroll section of the forge looks like this, with spots open to select two modules.
Now that we've selected two modules (Basic Amplifiers) to reroll, the button at the bottom is active. This button will allow us to burn these modules and 4 pyrite to receive one new identified module. Now let's try it and see what happens.
The identified module that we rerolled is not very good either. It has a low quality of -2 and gives us only +1 Faith and +2 Power.
Because of the poor results and low quality of this module, I think it's best to utilize the upgrade feature of the Pyrite Forge to burn five basic amplifiers (scarce rarity) to obtain a superior amplifier (precious rarity).
As a reminder, the upgrade feature allows you to burn 5 identified modules and pyrite to receive a new unidentified module of one higher rarity.
This is the selection screen where you choose five modules to burn for an upgraded module.
Now that we've selected five modules to upgrade, the button at the bottom is active. This button will allow us to burn these five scarce modules and 10 pyrite to receive one new unidentified precious module.
The result of our upgrade in the Pyrite Forge is this unidentified precious module, a superior amplifier. The dots on the left indicate the maximum number of stats and their maximum magnitude. This module can have at most 3 total stats, two medium and one small. The potential quality will be -3 to +1 when identifying this module.
I've identified the newly upgraded module for a cost of 301 SHARD using the steps shown in the Golem Overlord Module Guide: Module Basics. The quality is -1. The medium stat is nice and will be helpful for reducing the cost of increasing levels and prestige, but +1 faith isn't much.
By selecting the module in the Pyrite Forge, you can see the potential range of the stats. This module could have as high as 19% less rep burn while still gaining the full XP. It might be worth crafting or increasing the quality of this module if you plan to spend a lot of PART tokens on reputation.
The quality function of the Pyrite Forge allows you to burn pyrite to add quality to a module. The post turned out longer than I expected, so I will make a separate post that goes more into detail on adding quality to a module.
One important thing to remember about adding quality to a module is this:
Because of how the rounding works with quality, it is highly recommended that you get the module you plan to equip upgraded to at least 0 quality. Doing so will always increase the module stats by 1.
Review the quality section of the Golem Overlord Module Guide: Module Basics for more details on how quality works on modules.
The next post, Golem Overlord Module Guide: Forge Sigils, explains the stats of each Forge Sigil in detail and how they can be used in the Pyrite forge.
Please leave feedback on this post in the comments or the Golem Overlord Discord. I'll do my best to keep it updated as a reference for players.
