Description
Gain a mysterious chance to find gems and other rare materials while smithing. Each forge is designed to extract different materials. The rarest of materials requires the hottest of forges and highest tier ores to be smelted.

Refining adds a chance when Smithing to find gems by 0.02% per action while mining. The first Refining buff has an additional 0.02% chance and a tiny chance to gain gems depending on the base smithing time.

Formula

The chance to find a random gem per action is calculated using this formula:

$GemChance={\frac {baseTime*2+refining*100+100}{500000}}\times 100\%$

Without Refining no gems drop when smithing.
