I think lava should be required for the process (one bucket per ring), this would make ring forging unique from all the other smelting in the game.

Just out of curiosity, how come coral and durnaur can't be used?

The bonus for the gold teir seems a little... lackluster. Not really sure what would be better though, perhaps gold teir could be level II and mithril teir could be level III?

Lastly with the rings being so powerful and important I think their should be some kind of penalty for using them. I'm sure Souron would sense the creation of a new ring and probably send his Ringwraiths to retrieve it. I think the chance to run into the Ringwraiths should be higher with the teir. This would insentivize players to consider using silver or gold rings instead of going for mithril every time. To answer your questions: Coral and Durnaur shouldn't be used because they are far too common. Also, the gold buff is lackluster because gold is technically just as common as silver - to make it have a large buff would be a bit, shall we say, overpowered.
