We’re excited to share insights about our recently released “Special Merge” feature. This report aims to shed light on its benefits and encourage you to explore its potential in Forest Knight’s NFT economy.

Understanding Special Merge

At first glance, the improvements from Special Merge might seem minimal. However, in certain scenarios, it can be incredibly powerful. The feature caters to specific edge cases, offering unique advantages to savvy players.

Key Benefits

1. Exceptional Item Upgrades: Special Merge can transform already powerful items into game-changers. For example, merging a top-tier reward item like the Easter Necklace twice can result in attack power surpassing that of a Legendary item while maintaining solid defense stats.

2. Unique Perk Combinations: The Special Rune has a 10% chance to trigger on a different perk during merging. While rare, this can lead to extraordinary combinations. Imagine getting perks like double attack, attack increase, or hardening on your Special Rune!

3. Specialized Build Opportunities: Special Merge opens up new possibilities for unique character builds. For instance, the Assassin Stagger Lunaris is the only item of its kind with defense stats, making it crucial for players aiming to build a tank-style Assassin.

Maximizing Special Merge Potential

To truly benefit from Special Merge, players need to develop:

1. Item Awareness: Understanding the unique properties of each item is crucial.
2. Game Knowledge: Familiarity with various builds and strategies will help you identify valuable merge opportunities.
3. Patience: The most powerful combinations may take time to discover and create.

Economy Impact

Special Merge has introduced a new layer of strategy to our game’s economy. Players who master this feature can create items that rival or even surpass those of long-time or high-spending players. This levels the playing field and rewards strategic thinking and in-depth game knowledge.
