Inspection stamp is a Relic in ForgeTax that adds 100 gold to sword value for each Success or Great result. Its practical role is to increase the value gained from favorable forging results; it is not described as improving the chance of getting those results.

How to Obtain Inspection Stamp

The supplied gameplay footage shows Inspection stamp among the relic options at an exchange where the player is instructed to put in a sword. The exchange dialogue says that every sword is worth the same there and recommends using a sword you do not need. [src-daea965b2b]

1. Look for the sword-for-relic exchange. This is the acquisition context shown alongside Inspection stamp in the available footage. [src-daea965b2b]
2. Choose an unwanted sword if an exchange is required. According to the exchange dialogue, a more valuable sword does not receive better treatment at this exchange, so there is no stated benefit to handing over a valuable one. [src-daea965b2b]
3. Check the available relic choices for Inspection stamp. The footage presents it alongside other relic options, but does not establish that it appears at every visit. [src-daea965b2b]
4. Take Inspection stamp when it is offered and you want its sword-value bonus. In the recorded encounter, the exchange also offers a relic for free. Treat that as a demonstrated offer, not a confirmed rule for every exchange. [src-daea965b2b]

How to Use the Bonus

Once you have Inspection stamp, its stated trigger is straightforward: each Success or Great result adds 100 gold to sword value.

Use that rule when assessing your forging results:

1. Check which result you receive. Success and Great are the two outcomes named by the relic’s effect.
2. Account for the 100-gold value increase on either qualifying result. The listed bonus is the same for Success and Great; Great is not described as receiving a larger Inspection stamp bonus.
3. Keep sword value separate from spendable gold. The effect increases the sword’s value. It is not described as immediately paying 100 gold into your funds.

For example, three qualifying results correspond to 300 gold in Inspection stamp bonuses. That calculation describes only the relic’s contribution, not the sword’s final value or any other changes from forging.

Tips and Limits

• Choose it for value growth, not better odds. Its documented effect rewards Success and Great results; it does not state that either becomes more likely.
• Do not assume other outcomes trigger it. Only Success and Great are named in the effect.
• Avoid sacrificing a valuable sword unnecessarily. The exchange shown treats all swords equally for the trade. [src-daea965b2b]
• Check the in-game description before relying on additional behavior. The supplied information does not establish duplicate stacking, a bonus cap, or how long the relic remains active.

Reward and Evidence

The confirmed benefit is 100 additional sword value per Success or Great result. No separate completion reward or unlock requirement is documented in the supplied record.

The effect is supported by community gameplay evidence. The available excerpt establishes the relic’s description and its appearance at the exchange, but does not provide a controlled test of every interaction. [src-daea965b2b]
