I understand why there aren't arsenal station on the different levels of a boss stratum, but can we at least have a forge so we can level up our weapons? It's a little annoying to have a weapon heat up to max and be unable to upgrade it.
Put Forges in Boss stratum floors

I disagree, there should be
I disagree, there should be forges at least, not arsenals though. You should also be able to feed your pet at forges.

just don't run bosses 24/7 and you'll find out that there is more heat outside of them than you have ever imagined. you just have to wait a floor.

The more incentive we have for players to not grind FSC endlessly the better. That's what I think.

I don't grind boss levels cause it bores me to tears but thanks for making the assumption that I do.
If there shouldn't be forges on boss floors "to discourage people from grinding on them" then maybe there shouldn't be any heat at all on boss stratum if you can't actually use it. If boss stratum have the ability to heat up a weapon, they should have the ability to level them up as well and have a forge present at the beginning of each floor.

have you seen the absurd quantity of heat sucked up by battle sprites? that's what boss floors are from.
also, leveling a 5* weapon from 9 to 10 takes a bit more than a vana run, if I recollect correctly. that's old days though.

Boss runs have the advantage of increased crown gain, but not being able to upgrade your weapons. Keep it this way.

HEY,
LETS PUT EVERYTHING
HEY,
LETS PUT EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE
ARSENAL+FORGE+PET FOOD STATION+AUCTION HOUSE+ALCHEMY MACHINE
EVERYWHERE 3 TIMES ON SAME DEPTH
Because:
"It's a little annoying to have" a weapon with heat maxed ready to upgrade, a weapon lvl10, a pet with max apetite, no pet food to lvl up, auction ending soon, there is a a wil fiend has apepared but i had only weapons to kill slimes and gremlins.
OH NO, a WHOLE BETTER IDEA
LETS
PUT
WHOLE
HAVEN
Three times in every depth so noone ever will be annoyed anymore.

How quickly something heats on any floor isn't relevant.
"Boss runs have the advantage of increased crown gain, but not being able to upgrade your weapons."
How strange, I've made more crowns doing clockworks the past couple of days than I did in the one FSC run I did today, what Thunder said about clockworks being more lucrative if you play them right is true.
Either way, I chose to do a fsc run today, and one of my weapons happened to level up, I'd have liked to have been able to level it up while I was there, it's not a huge nuisance but I have yet to see a real reason for not having forges (and honestly it seemed like more like an oversight than a purposeful design decision which is why I brought it here).
Edit:
While I don't care about changing weapons or things like that, I suppose I'd like to be able to level up my weapons when it is leveled because I have played since beta, I'm used to having my weapons progress naturally, not getting bottleneck just because I happened to play in a boss stratum for a change of pace. Did I say anything about pet stations or alchemy stations? No I did not, if you want to make a point stay on topic rather than making asinine hyperbole.

OK, how about a suggestion compromise that allows players to have forge stations (and possibly "feed sprite" stations) while doing something else to make FSC less desirable for repeated grinding?
For example, removing all the treasure boxes so you wouldn't be able to obtain any crystals/orbs/sparks in them. I think that would be an excellent counterbalance. You'd be able to level and forge equipment in FSC if you wanted to but if you actually wanted the crystals and orbs for forging and upgrading then you'd need to either play other levels or fork over lots of energy for them.

Additionally, Boss Runs give you Boss Tokens, and the bosses are "A challenge". There's already reason to run bosses, and reason to run clockworks. Leave the balance as that :/
No, players need more incentive to play levels that aren't boss levels.
