I'm back to trying to beat Sil. The latest promising character has just cleared the cat fortress at 850ft. On this floor there happens to be +3 forge gauntlets, two regular forges with 3 uses each, and an enchanted forge with 4 uses. 
I have 8000 experience stocked up... is it worth it to make a late dive into smithing to try to fill some gaps? What gear could I even make that would be worth using at this point?
