The '''Fun-Size Forge''' is an item introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'' that allows the player to create new items and refine existing ones. It effectively replaces the [[Alchemy Pot]] of previous games, but requires that the player has already discovered the recipe guide before an item can be hammered out. The party is able to use the forge at the various campsites located across Erdrea in the Japanese version, and nearly anywhere in the International versions. It is given to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Hero]] by [[Erik]] the first time they encounter a campsite at the [[Manglegrove]]. For a list of all crafting manuals for the forge and the locations there of, see [[List of fun-size forge recipe book locations in Dragon Quest XI|the recipe book page]].

As the Hero levels up, he will learn special techniques known as '''Flourishes''' that will help the forging process in various ways, such as striking at a section with half strength or the ability to strike at multiple sections with a single strike.

If the player succeeds at creating something in the forge, they will receive an item called '''perfectionist's pearl''', which is necessary for refining items. The number of pearls received is dependent on how well the player performed in the creation minigame and the number of perfectionist's pearls needed to refine an item increases depending on the complexity of the item. Perfectionist's pearls can also be found in some treasure chests and are purchasable from certain shops later in the game. Refining an item will increase its attributes, such as the attack of a weapon or the defence of a piece of armor, up to a maximum of +3.

It is also possible to fail at making an item in the forge, but the item will still be made at the end of the minigame; it simply means that the item will be of standard quality and no perfectionist's pearls will be earned.
It is also possible to fail at making an item in the forge, but the item will still be made at the end of the minigame; it simply means that the item will be of standard quality and no perfectionist's pearls will be earned. However, it is possible to fail the refinement process meaning the quality of the item will simply not increase and the player will have to retry.
 
One of the main differences that sets apart the Fun-Size Forge from the Alchemy Pot is that an item's recipe must first be found in order for it to be crafted. Recipes for items are found much in the same way as previous games, including by reading books from various bookcases around the world, treasure chests, and after completing quests.
