Ferruccio Forges: Forgotten Benefit?

Well, I've seen guides for Glaziums, the Market Manager, going to real-live events, getting Bai Hu, Bahamas preview, Baron Items, Necklace Crafting and such. But looks like there's something we've either overlooked, forgotten or taken for granted here in GE. It's the Ferruccio Forges!

Looking back, it has been a while for me since I have visited a Ferruccio Forge. I'm going to document about the Ferruccio Forges since I'm one of the few who takes advantage of it!

Looks like Granado Espada is in need of ores in order to progress and they seemed to have experienced a shortage or two. It is up to us to provide Granado Espada with the ores they need. Hey, it comes with rewards too! Also, the Ferruccio Forges are only available in Channel 1, along with the Demon Well (for Diablo), the Golden Well, Colonies and everything else.

All you have to do is to collect a specific type of ore in a specific amount. There are three Ferruccio Forges and each of them will need a different ore. By providing the ore that the Ferruccio Forge needs, you will rewarded with a random item and it can range from other ores, consumables (including those not found in stores), ambers and even rings! But the items you'll get are not exactly random, in fact, you'll see a list of items you'll get before you use the Forge! Once a family has gotten their reward, it will take one hour before the forge can be used again. You can also check when the forge will be usable again by clicking on it and a time will appear on when it can be usable again.

Now, here's a step by step guide on using the Ferruccio Forge:

Make sure you have the required ore in your inventory.

When the Forge's furnace is burning, you can use it. Click the forge and select "Use Ferrucio Forge."


Now, you'll a list of items you can get from the Forge. You're guaranteed to get the item that's first on the list!

Woah, is this an advert?

You'll be noted on how long will it take for the forge to be used again.


Confirm that you want to put in the ores in the forge.


You'll get a confirmation message that will be seen by you and anyone else near the forge.

Idge, is it really hot in there?

The forge will then be rendered unusable for 30 mins. Notice that the furnace is not burning anymore, a sign that the forge is not ready. Clicking the forge when it's not ready will inform you how long will it take before the forge is ready again.


The item that was next on the list will be the item that you'll be getting when the Forge is ready to accept another donation. Feel free to grind for the ores while it happens. Just make sure that no one beats you to it! :D

There are three Ferruccio Forges in the world of Granado Espada and each of them require three different ores.

The Cathari Falls Forge needs 200 Bulk Coals. It's located at H8.




The Jezebel Glen Forge needs 200 Chalcedonies. It's coordinates are E5.



The Lago de Tres Hermanas Forge needs 100 Refined Quartz. You can find this at H7.



Each of the Forges have their own inscriptions as well. Let me go ahead and get them down for you. Here's what it says from the Cathari Falls Forge*:

It has been eight years since the start of the New World exploration. The first exploration was headed by the Ferruccio expedition, who arrived with the materials from the Homeland. But it wasn't enough, so they had to scour for materials themselves.

Here, we are fortunate to find many valuable items. One of the members of our expedition, Admirar the Alchemist, suggested the establishment of the Ferruccio Forge supply items, which you are looking at right now.

Someday, if an expedition should chance upon this Ferruccio Forge, we hope that it will be of use to them. I hope that the expeditions will use this forge will remember Admirar the Alchemist for his selflessness.

July 1498, by the Opresia Calendar, Adjutant of the expedition, Jilberto Granado.

*Some grammatical corrections are made. The year was 1948 but that would make it look wrong. Made an estimate based on the Jezebel Glen Forge's date.

Here's what it says on the Jezebel Glen Forge:

One year has passed since the expedition begun. We have to come to realize that a New World is much more hazardous than we had expected.

Our immediate concern is to find out how to utilize the materials we have collected in the New World. Our supply of materials brought from Opresia is diminishing rapidly.

The Ferruccio Forge was constructed by Admirar the Alchemist. It is used to melt minerals and turn them into valuable items and equipment. We have been able to continue our expedition in this canyon with the help of this.

We do not know how long our expedition will last. We leave this inscription in hopes that it will aid the next expedition in using this valuable forge.

1491 April, by the Opresia Calendar, Adjutant of the Expedition, Jilberto Granado.

Now, the inscription from the El Lago de Tres Hermanas Forge is very interesting. It states the history on how the place got its name (also hints of Auch's establishment!):

The Ferruccio Forge was constructed in memory of the three sisters of the Almobador Family who fought valiantly against ferocious monsters. Their heroic actions shall live on in our memories forever.

We headed north further inland as we were unable to cope with the taxation pressure due to the construction of the Cite de Reboldoeux in 1512.

In this environment, abundant with mineral resources and densely populated by articular trees, we knew we could start a life away and free from Vespanolan rule. However, it was inhabited by a vicious Merman.

We had to fend off attacks from them almost everyday. Their numbers were overwhelming but they were no match for our will and determination! Most admirable of all were the three sisters of the Almobador Family.

Without the three sisters, we could have never constructed the City of Auch successfully! Although they were not able to see the completion, we named this lake and this forge in their honor.

We hope this forge will be to the expedition that pass through. And that you will remember and honor the three sisters who fought and died admirably.

Well, I feel that this guide is very fulfilling. I hope you guys (especially the new players/families) take advantage of what the Forges can reward you. I feel like I should get back and check them out! I'll never know what I'll be getting next...
