Nano Forge
From Hellgatewiki.com
A Nano Forge can usually be found in most Towns, and are used to increase the inherited stats of your Items. You are required to use various materials from dissasembling items for the upgrade. Warning: This will also raise the requirements of the item!
The Nano Forge enables players to upgrade items as an alternative to merely replacing them. In SP, you can upgrade an item only 5 times. As of MP patch 1.0, the limit was raised to 10 but requires a new, legendary component, Nanoshards. Raw materials are required for the process, and the item's level (and level requirement) will be increased by 2. Take this into consideration when upgrading, as it may render mods unequipable, or if already equipped, non-functioning. However, the machine will not let you upgrade an item if your current level is below the item level. Only items directly equipable by the character may be upgraded, excluding weapon mods from the upgrade process. Most quest items can not be upgraded.
The cost of non-Nanoshards goes up with the item level.
The cost in Nanoshards goes up each time you improve a specific item. It starts at one Nanoshard for the first improvement, and ends at ten Nanoshards for the tenth improvement. Two exceptions to the requirement of Nanoshards are All Hallows' Visage and Fawkes' Flameguards.
