Introduced during the Ancient Powers event, Mana Forges are one of the locations where you can get large amounts of tier 7 loot with "Luck" (higher quality items from that tier).

The chests vary in the probability of what they will contain. All chests can produce any item, but a weapon chest will contain mostly weapons most of the time, research/mage chests will contain mostly VIII spell components, armor will contain mostly armor, and the equipment chests will contain a mix of mostly armor and weapons. Advanced chests will contain more jewelry and clothing items.

Keys can be obtained by hunting Shattered Mana Forge Keys and repairing them using Lockpick skill or as a reward from a number of different quests and tasks (see below).

Each Mana Forge also has an Arcanum Quota Officer who gives a single use key in exchange for 10 Pristine Mana Shards (up to five times per week, 150+) and an Arcanum Mana-smith who gives a key for 25 Pristine Mana Shards for those below 150 in level. There is also an Arcanum Broker at each forge who will buy unwanted loot from the chests and a Garbage Barrel for junk loot.

The pristine shards were originally available as Trophies from creatures that drop tier 7 loot, but they were removed from creature drops in the Balance of Power event.
