The Forging Gouge was originally released at Ebon Gate festival Evermore Hollow 2022 in the shop The Gouged Heart. Regardless of tier, this item has limited uses/charges (25) and as of July 2024 the clear resin to recharge can't be purchased. Rumors have been confirmed; the item can be recharged by a willing merchant[1].

Tier 2

Analyze

The faenor gouge has been unlocked to Tier 2.  You can TOUCH, WAVE, and RUB the gouge.

RUB Running your fingers over the handle of your faenor gouge, you contemplate the next steps, envisioning the end product in your mind. <Character> rubs <his/her> thumb across the handle of <her/his> faenor gouge, momentarily lost in thought.
TOUCH Checking the sharpness of your faenor gouge, you run your thumb over the tip, wincing slightly when you carelessly prick your finger. With a sheepish smile, you stick your thumb in your mouth to hide the blood. <Character> runs <his/her> thumb over the tip of <his/her> faenor gouge, testing the blade. After a slight wince, <she/he> quickly sticks <his/her> thumb into <his/her> mouth. What a baby!
WAVE With a few quick flicks of your wrist, you clean the loose sawdust and debris from the tip of your faenor gouge. <Character> flicks <his/her> wrist a few times before giving the blade of <his/her> faenor gouge a careful examination. Surely, there are easier ways to clean it?

SPIN You start spinning your faenor gouge in your hand, twirling it around your fingers as you think through the mysteries of life. Tapping the handle briefly against your other palm, you collect the gouge and give a slight nod. <Character> twirls <his/her> faenor gouge between <his/her>fingers, deftly keeping it spinning as <she/he> stares off into the distance, lost in thought. After a moment, <she/he> taps the handle and gives a slight a slight nod of satisfaction.
THUMP Holding the blade of your faenor gouge carefully, you smack the handle against your other palm several times, getting a satisfying *THWACK* with each hit. A bored look on <his/her> face, <Character> begins to smack the handle of <his/her> faenor gouge against <his/her> palm, a series of loud *THWACKS* emanating from the force.
