Wishing for a Forger

What's the best forger to wish for? Is it MA Ulm's Forge Master? I know there are heros with a bonus, but can I really wish for heros from another faction?

Maybe Forge lord?

A Forge Lord, though quite sturdy and in no danger of dying easily, wouldn't be as useful. When you wish for a pretender chassis you only get their starting magic paths. In this case it would be 1 Earth and 1 Fire. The Forge Master of Ulm is better since it has 2 Earth, 1 Fire, a rare random, and the same forge bonus.

It's probably the mason hero (if you can wish for those). From Edi's database here are the paths you would get for the ones with a 25% forge bonus:

Forge Lord FE
Ice Crafter W
Iron Crafter E
Mason of the Underworld FE2WD3H
Master Smith FE2 +10%(FAES)
Priest Smith FE2H
Warrior Smith E +100%(FAWE) +50%(FAWE)

This one also seems good, but it's only a 10% forge bonus. I've never heard of that unit, so I guess it's another hero?

Long Handed F3A3N2H3

Mason of the Underworld it is, at least so far. The debug mod has proven that you can indeed wish for a hero unit. Not only that but I've managed to wish for multiple masons and GoR them. I just wouldn't wish for one at the end of the year due to the age thing.

Edit: Thanks

A second pair of arms is also useful for a forger -- there are actually two 50%-bonus 2hd hammers.

Really? Hammer ofr the Forge Lord. What's the other?

Lugh the Long handed is a hero of Tir na nÓg, perhaps the best hero in this game. He has a great deal of magic (3F3A2N3H), Awe+4, 100% fire resist, glamour, fire shield, a siege bonus, a forge bonus, sailing, and sacred. And he has a special ability which gives him +1 in all magic paths, if you empowered him to D1, you'll find that he get D2 by himself.

Hammer of the Cyclops.

I just run a test. No matter what forge bonus you have, you must pay at least 1 gem per magic level required to forge the item(that is, 1 gem for every 5 gems the item originally cost). So even if you were a Nataraja with the Hammer of the Cyclops and the Hammer of the Forge Lord , you were still paying out 8 Astral Pearls to make a Ring of Sorcery.
