Stardew Valley: Every weapon and tool enchantment at the Forge

Using the Forge in Stardew Valley allows you to enchant your weapons and tools to unlock one random powerful effect.

One of the many cool features in the recent Stardew Valley 1.5 Update is the Forge. Accessed by reaching the 10th floor of the Volcano Dungeon located on Ginger Island, the Forge allows you to upgrade weapons, enchant weapons and tools, and change weapon appearances.

Enchantments are powerful effects that you can apply to a weapon or tool. It costs one prismatic shard and 20 cinder shards to add an enchantment. There are currently a total of 16 enchantments in the game: four weapon combat enchantments and 12 tool enchantments.

Each weapon or tool can only have one enchantment at a time and it is applied completely at random. If you don’t like the enchantment that is applied, you can re-enchant the item with another prismatic shard. Here are all of the enchantments currently in Stardew Valley as of the 1.5 Update:

Combat Enchantments

Combat enchantments can be applied to any melee weapon (not a slingshot).

Artful: 50% cooldown on special moves

Bug Killer: Dealsdouble damage to bugs and allows killing armored bugs

Crusader: Does 50% more damage to undead and shadows, and prevents mummies from reviving

Vampiric: Added chance to regain some health on hit

You can make your weapons even stronger at the Forge by improving their stats up to three times. You can gain a critical hit chance and damage, weapon speed, defense, and even add knockback.

With how difficult some of the new mobs are in the Volcano, powering up your weapons and enchanting them is a wonderful and much-needed addition.

Tool Enchantments

Certain tools have specific enchantments associated with them and it is completely random which one you can get.

Auto-Hook (Fishing Rod): Automatically hooks the fish when they bite

Archaeologist (Hoe): Doubles your chance of finding an artifact in artifact spots

Bottomless (Watering Can): Grants infinite water

Efficient (Axe, Fishing Rod, Hoe, Pickaxe, Watering Can): Removes stamina drain

Generous (Hoe): Gain 50% chance of finding double of an item after digging

Haymaker (Melee Weapons): Cutting weed has a 50% chance of also dropping a fiber and 33% chance of extra hay

Master (Fishing Rod): Adds an extra fishing level to the player while held

Powerful (Axe, Pickaxe): Applies an extra power level

Preserving (Fishing Rod): There’s a 50% chance that bait and tackle aren’t consumed when used

Reaching (Iridium Hoe, Watering Can): An increased charge-up capacity for greater area of effect

Shaving (Axe): Provides a chance to get extra wood from trees, hardwood from stumps, produce from giant crops.

Swift (Axe, Pickaxe, Hoe): Use your tool faster

While you can unforge a weapon and remove its upgrades or reset its appearance, you are unable to unforge an enchantment. You can only re-enchant it. Weapons and items have their own individual enchantment “progression,” so re-rolling does not guarantee the same order of enchantment bonuses.

As of this writing, Update 1.5 is currently only available on PC; however, it is expected to arrive on consoles in early 2021. Developer Concerned Ape mentioned a possible January release window but it’s not guaranteed. Meanwhile, it will be quite some time before the update arrives on mobile.
