[2021] Extremely low Forging Potential on Exalts?

If they’re dropping as low as 7 that’s a bug. The absolute minimum for exalted items is supposed to be 24, and that’s unusual and not possible beyond a certain level.

If you’re talking about items that dropped before the patch, they were given an amount of forging potential based on their instability. If their instability was moderate to high they were probably given low forging potential because of that. In general new items drop with more forging potential than old items were given.

More information about the exalted items in question and where you found them would be useful for trying to track down the cause.

We’ve identified the cause of the bug and it’ll be fixed in the next hotfix. Thanks everyone for all the reports.
