Forge Needle

The Forge Needle is a Relic used for Equipment. It is an advanced version of the Armorer's Needle, instead of rolling a pip on an equipment piece, the Forge Needle upgrades one of your equipment by one star. Essentially, it does the same thing as the Smith's Alloy, except for Equipment rather than weapons. This of course grants all of the benefits that come with having a higher star value, such as +1 Health to Arms, Head, and Legs equipment along with the Rare and/or Legendary Pip(s) that the stars give as a bonus. Somewhat unjustifiable for easily obtainable equipment, as grinding out a three-star version of the desired item would usually take much less time than the relics required to craft Forge needles. For rarer equipment pieces that are hard to find, however, such as the Simmerbloom Diadem, Bloodforged Crown, Pathfinder Elites, Grand Fisher Set, etc, they can be very useful.
