Gilded lumber does not get the 2% extra ranged dmg from an ingot made with the Forge Card (combining Fabled Elder Eoten 10% ranged with Einaidia 14% results in 22% not 24%)
Same happens to reinforced leather too.
Only items made from solely metal keep their Forge Card buff, but the final product doesn't seem to keep any of the buffs.
I have tested the Blunderbuss made with 2 simple copper parts ( 6% ranged) and 2 buffed with the Forge Card ( 8% ) and they both had the same value of damage.
Using or not the Forge Card makes no difference at all in the final product.
As it stands, the Forge Card is only giving a fake stat display.

| Steps to Reproduce | Make any ingot with the Forge Card and proceed to use said ingot in crafting Gilded Wood, you will see that the bonus of the Forge Card does not apply at all under any circumstances for the Gilded Wood and any other final product that has metal in its composition. |
Still not fixed even though it is a core aspect of the game and it really impacts people playing on higher difficulties. I wish they'd acknowledge the bug at the very least.
I just came to report the same issue.
The moment you actually use any of the materials crafted with the forge card, all bonuses gained vanish into the aether.
I made many ingots to test with. I then made two rugged knives: one with the forge card still active, and one with it cleansed away. Both knives came out identical, without the bonus, and the breakdown in the tooltip confirmed this. It was identical for each and showed the bonuses you would get from default ingots, with a quality score of 1.
That means the forge card had no impact whatsoever on the final product even when it was active through the entire production process, start to finish.
