Almost everything he does to gear is not retroactive, looking at how things have changed historically. So yeah, that katalox you were forging, might turn to crap if the new katalox ranges/stats are that much better, like if he doubles the top end MDB or EDB, or adds 50% anti-resist
Yeah that's why I'm hoping for an answer before I put even more money into it. It's one thing to have fighting styles become better/worse/obsolete but changing the top gear of each style frequently is just frustrating.
I still have Fine-Superior max edb phase pieces with 20 edb upgrades sitting in my inventory that are not even worth salvaging with the returns you get currently.
If the same thing happens to katalox staffs then I will probably never touch the forge again.
