Idea:
A consumable that allows players to forge weapons when an arsenal station is not available. For example, it could be used in the middle of an FSC run, so players could forge without returning to Haven. It could have durations like heat amplifiers (2, 7 or 30 days), or be a single-use consumable.
I think this type of consumable would be more useful and appealing than heat amplifiers. Assuming it is not too expensive, I would definitely use something like this.
Please, yes. Please please please. This sounds like a really great idea with no problems, and like you said, I need it for Vanaduke runs. I'd even be okay if it penalized you by removing the rewards.
Meh.
I would prefer to just store exessive heat, and use it as a craft material to create fire crystals (made from minerals + heat) or straight up heat other gear.
Mobile forge is alrigh, but it doesn't solve all the wasted heat issues. For example, people will still return to haven just to swap their equipment if they were heating some "not so suitable for Vana fight" stuff.
Personally I'd like it if we could just forge anywhere.

I like the idea of using heat+minerals to craft fire crystals. If Grey Havens doesn't plan to add new Battle Sprites, maybe heat could be combined with Moonstone and Valestone.
That, or perhaps Grey Havens could reduce the price of fire crystals in the Supply Depot.

I would prefer this, too, but I don't think Grey Havens would make such a change. I thought a mobile forge consumable would be a decent compromise. It would add a small cost to faster forging.
I think it would be good as well. Also lets you forge if you got a bunch of heat in a level but needed just a handful of crystals.
