<p style="text-align:center">'''MASTER OF THE FORGE<br>Developer Crafted Item Charity Auction:'''<br><br>Our friends at Portalarium have generously offered up their time to craft some epic gear to support AERIE Fund in our continued works in New Britannia.<br><br>This 1st annual Master of the Forge competition showcases their creativity and skill at the crafting tables, and let’s you take home a unique piece of their vision. These collections are filled with one-of-a-kind relics that’ll destroy on the battlefield and/or shine in your trophy cases.<br><br>'''The Developer Crafting Process:'''<br><br>Like us, the Devs have to spend hours (and in some cases: days) crafting these items. There’s no cheat mode when it comes to masterworking, enchanting, and/or creating exceptional items. They blow up stuff at the same pace and frequency we do. They do have access to unlimited resources, which helps with the time (they have a game to launch, after all!). '''None of the items are given stats beyond what a player could achieve with available crafting skills. And…'''<br><br>'''IMPORTANT NOTE:'''<br>'''Based upon community feedback, Dev crafting skills have been locked between 100-120 to ensure these items are not imbalanced or unobtainable by player crafters.'''<br><br>Here’s a sample of the quality and awesomeness of these items:<br><br>[[Image:380774974689902592.png]]<br><br>[[Image:382543303960166400.png]]<br><br>Learn more and get involved by catching up on the contest details [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/aerie-fund-master-of-the-forge-community-collections.104893/ in the forums]!</p>
