"... but it just won't get dragonforged even though i upgraded it to third level." "i even wore un-upgraded armor to give the flamberge a better chance but that didn't help." " i didn't have the same trouble with other pieces of equipment before, some equipment got dragonforged with only a second and a first level upgrade. is there a reason why an equipment won't get dragonforged?"
 * Just because it's at 3 stars doesn't give it a guaranteed Dragonforged rate. Let me explain: Each rank (or star) increases the chance of the item getting Dragonforged. For example for lesser Dragonkin with out Tears:
 * Rank 1 has a 2% of getting Dragonforging
 * Rank 2 has a 6% of getting Dragonforging
 * Rank 3 has a 18% of getting Dragonforging
 * That being said, 18% is still a REALLY low chance of Dragonforging a piece of gear. Technically you could probably kill a Drake 1,000 times and never see that piece get upgraded.
 * Dragonforging doesn't work that way. EACH piece of armor has their OWN chance of getting Dragonforged. That means (assuming ALL your up-gradable pieces of gear are enhanced to 3 stars) your helmet has a 18% getting Dragonforged, your Torso Clothing has a 18% getting Dragonforged, your Arms Armor has a 18% getting Dragonforged, and so forth. Taking off a piece of armor, if anything, reduces the overall chance of your gear(s) getting upgraded.
 * As it's been said before; RNG is RNG. I wish there were a better reason to give you, but probability is bullshit.

Hope that helps man. Good luck to you.
