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

Long Handed F3A3N2H3

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.

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?

I just booted up a later game where I have a forger empowered in all paths up to and beyond six. Hammer of the Forge Lord he is using. Hammer of the Cyclops is not to be seen on any forgable listing. Is the Hammer of the Cyclops something forgable or maybe just wishable?

Hmm... Maybe if I'd noticed that I'd not read page two of this thread before posting, I might have clued into the notion that maybe the Hammer of the Cyclops is something that comes with the 'Cyclops' when you summon it.
