We got free leveling up for gear everywhere before during the mist times. But now we can only level up at the arsenal. And boss floors don't get an arsenal.
So why not put in a forge in those levels?
We already have an used sprites in an haven so it could just be moved.
Forges in Boss levels
I see the benefit of having such a thing, as it will for sure be helpful, but it only really encourages running boss stratums for all your needs. Right now the arcade is a better way to heat.
If we were to put such stations into only the arcade versions of the boss levels, that would be fine. Lore-wise we might have sent recon knights in there to set up these stations after we cleared them out, but in the actual mission version we haven't cleared it out a first time (noticeable in the non-arcade FSC's core terminal).
We could...have the stations in the boss stratum in the arcade...but not the rank mission versions. Mwahahaha.

I would have to disagree. Even though it is more convenient with the stations, alts allow you to do the same thing on boss levels, which heat better. The result is faster heating, and therefore boss levels are still better.
Well from the vision of a game developer, they want to discourage just playing boss levels only. This is why it's an inconvenience to heat in boss levels.
Hence, playing through the arcade to get to a boss level will allow you to play through boss levels to heat, but also not make it as easy to farm. Better to inconvenience things you don't want to have happening than to make them outright impossible. Eventually players will either find a new exploit, or go with the vision, and the ones who inconvenience themselves would not have very high complaining powers when the solution is right there in front of them.

Do remember that even though FSC is easy to heat, it only gains ONE level at a time, and you would also require fire crystals.
Before, you dealt with mist to revive and descend, and crafting. You got no Orbs as a reward from missions. But you get instant multiple level ups.
Having a room to just forge and feed our sprites and anything heat related without changing our arsenal would be a cool room to add for boss levels. I suggested it before, but some players on the forums were against it.
