The Blacksmith

The Blacksmith is an NPC in Dead Cells. He invites you to upgrade all your Gear (except Amulets) in exchange of cells. All upgrades from the Blacksmith at the Legendary Forge are permanent.

Upgrades
When you upgrade at the Legendary Forge, items that drop or appear in shops have a chance to be of +, ++, or S quality. You can invest cells up to 100% drop-rate in any rank (+, ++ and S), but you cannot invest in a rank if the previous one wasn't filled completely. Some ranks are also now locked, based on the current Difficulty setting.

Here are the current values:

- Normal mode: "+" rank up to 100%, "++" rank capped at 50%,

- Hard mode: "+" and "++" ranks up to 100%,

- Very hard mode: "+" and "++" ranks up to 100% and "S" rank capped at 25%,

- Expert mode: "+" and "++" ranks up to 100% and "S" rank capped at 50%,

- Nightmare mode: all ranks up to 100%.

-Hell mode: all ranks up to 100%.
