Sources & version notes

Item stats were checked against GameVault’s Bronze buckler reference on 2026-09-10. GameVault describes its records as generated from installed game data; an exact source build is not disclosed on this item page.

Recipe cards retain their own source dates. The site’s earlier extracted item records came from Steam build 21981559, before 1.0. No current gameplay test is implied by those records.

Quality stats are calculated from published base values and increments. The Forge of Potential is a separate 1.0 system; its idol requirements and risks are not included in the base crafting card.
