well, nfirea, is more special though, cuz oof his innate talent , being able to use any magic item,

that's the main reason ainz wants to keep nfirea loyal and safe, potions are just a secondary matter 

also  in vol11 epilogue we learned that nfirea dropped working in potions anf focusing on being herbalist, and helpinenri with her  chief position 

Everything is inconsequential when the entire charade started to spin its wheel. Ainz never thought things through when he made his decision at that time, the same as in the Forgemaster's deal. Ainz just happens to attract Nfirea's attention when Brita brought the potion to the best potionbrewer in E-Rantel. If there exists another who is better, that potion would have ended that way and Nfirea would have been killed outright for possessing such a talent. The Forgemaster's is the exact situation, different scenario. ''Since he's the best, I might as well throw in an ingot that doesn't matter to me as an appreciation for the intended recipient of the armor. ''And.. the Forgemaster disappeared in a fit of rage. ''Oh, he's gone! Well, that's that! ''IF the Forgemaster does return, it's up to Ainz to bullshit his way again.

Even when discussing about potions with Nfirea, Ainz is simply doing his usual "throw a coin and see which side it lands" thinking. He didn't set up a target even though he's thinking that it might be good to try something new. It's simply "let's see where this is going to end up". For Ainz almost everything he did in NW seem to be worthless for himself and the Nazarick denizens unless those actions affect them directly but he's actually throwing storms around but he never would have guessed outright until the whole thing comes back knocking on his doorstep. His "whatever goes" mentality is the thing that brings him the most headaching scenario build up and he never repented on that. So, even if Nfirea ditched his research on potions, it doesn't really matter because his grandmother's still on the case.

Right now, we simply don't know just what kind of storm would the Forgemaster represent but it's general NW knowledge that Dwarves do provide the best smithing so we don't know whether the Forgemaster is another Brita or another Nfirea. The Forgemaster is the best the Dwarves have to offer and Ainz blew his pride to kingdom come. This is possibly the second coming of Fluder instead because the only "possible" party to provide something worthwhile would be Slane Theocracy but right up to this  point, they are shown to be more dependant on existing player equipment rather than making something new.
