I once posted about “Multiplied Equipment from Smith’s Reforge” (https://lemmy.world/post/9169425), which have been patched in the latest update and I’m fine with that (tho maxing RoW in a farming run become so much harder now). What’s unfortunate IMO is that now cursed (but identified) equipment also can’t be selected for an Upgrade reward from Smith. I always consider Smith’s Upgrade reward as another SoU, and you can apply SoU to a cursed equipment with some chance to remove the curse. So is it possible to revert some of the patch to let player still select cursed equipment for Smith’s Upgrade reward?
PS. Far from the best in Engrish, hope this post is understandable and not offensive.

I decided to return the blacksmith back to pre-2.2.0, where he would refuse to work on cursed items. Mainly I felt it was a bit too easy to apply the smith’s buffs to items, and also there were side-effects that had to be addressed, such as the point made in your previous post. The upgrade option from the smith isn’t meant to be 100% analogous to a scroll of upgrade.
If that’s how it meant then it can’t be helped. But if that’s the case, can you please bring back the smith’s comment if you were to select cursed and/or unidentified equipment. I noticed it was gone when the new reward system come up.
From the game: “Okay, a deal’s a deal. Here’s what I can do for you. I only work with identified and uncursed items.”

Most of the time I use smith’s reward on late game armor. So I think as a warden (with barkskin) it’s just at the right time considering a +1 mail are enough for cave yet I personally need late game armor for the city.

Try to use explosives (bomb, trap, stone) to determine whether an equipment have any upgrade (it’ll survive explosion if it does). If you got a remove curse ready you should find at least +1 mail quite often.
