__NOTOC__
'''Powder of Fortifying''' ('''PoF'''), '''Powder of Fortification''', '''Fortification Powder''', and, prior to [[Publish 21|November 2003]], '''Powder of Temperament''' are all terms for an in-game consumable [[crafting]] reward that is bestowed upon [[Blacksmithing|blacksmiths]] who complete [[Bulk Order Deed]]s ([[BOD]]s).

Powder of Fortifying "does" one thing, it increases the [[Durability#Maximum_Durability|Maximum Durability]] of items that have the [[Durability]] [[Item Property|item property]], to the cap of 255. An unused PoF comes with 10 charges. Each charge is good for a 10 point increase in the Maximum Durability of a single weapon or piece of armor. Use of an entire, full PoF will add 100 Maximum Durability points to an item.

Unlike the saturation of [[Bags of Sending]], there is no limit to the number of times Powder of Fortifying can be used on an item.

==Powder of Fortifying Immunity==
PoF does not work on all items with the Durability item property. [[UO]] Community Coordinator [[Jeremy]] explained the rationale for the immunity:

:"We intend for these items to drop for a while, but don't want to flood the market with them - making them unfortifyable means that they will, eventually, get destroyed if used.... Otherwise, we'd have stacks of them lying around the bank....

:This is not a precursor to taking out Powder of Fortification, as some people are speculating.... This is just a means of managing the rarity of these particular items in the game." [[Five_on_Friday_-_September_21%2C_2007|FoF 9/21/07]]

*PoF does not work on the [[Book of Truth]] event reward, [[The Redeemer]].
*PoF does not work on the [[Virtue Artifact]]s.
*PoF does not work on [[Imbuing|imbued]] or [[Brittle|brittle]] items.
*PoF does not stack (so collecting it can start taking up alot of bank space).

==Earning Powder of Fortifying==
PoF also earns a Blacksmith [[money]]. Whether at [[auction]] or sold on [[player]] vendors, the market is firm and constant. In addition to [[fame]] and [[gold]], certain BODs drop Powder of Fortifying 90% of the time, when they are returned to an [[NPC]] blacksmith.
