Garok's Hammer can be bought at Miral and Garok's Workshop for 94 (47 since Elona+ 1.68) small medals. Garok's Hammer is used to transform any non-artifact equipment item into an <artifact> with randomized characteristics. It retains all previous attributes and gains random new ones. Note that this is a big gamble and the equipment may get large negative attributes, so if you must use this item, do so with high Luck.
- It may not be used to re-forge artifacts.
- Only be used once.
- Saves the game on use. In Elona+, it does not save the game on use.
Recommended use: non-artifact items with affixes, such as of [fire, ice, lightning], of defender, Vindale Cloaks, Seven League Boots, Speed Rings, etc
Note: When purchased, the artifact name given by the hammer and the general "pool" of bonuses it will give are set. This seems to be the usual "exact attributes may vary based on luck" effect. Furthermore, it seems that if you buy two or more hammers at the same time, they will have the same effects, giving the same name and potential bonuses to the artifacts they create.
Elona+[]
Garok's hammer instead gives a fixed bonus depending on what kind of item it is used on, and can no longer be used on artifacts (whether fixed or random). As in Elona, it's recommended to use it on items that are Great but not Miracle/Godly, or on intrinsically useful items like seven league boots and speed rings.
