Reforging



Reforging is a mechanic that allows the player to add additional stats to Weapons and Armor, similar to Enchanting. However, an item can have only one reforge. Reforges provide greater stat boosts the higher the Rarity of the item is. Armor, Accessories, and Weapons can be reforged, however there are a few exceptions.

Usage
To reforge an item, head to the Blacksmith and right-click on him to bring up the reforging menu. The player can then apply reforge stats to weapons, accessories, or armor pieces for a price depending on the rarity of the item.

The reforge given is random, and players will know the reforge given only after the reforge has been paid for. The cost of reforging will scale on the Rarity of the item.

A feature called "advanced reforging" was added in the SkyBlock patch v0.7.11. Players can open the advanced reforging GUI by interacting with Malik (who can be found at the dungeon entrances) or using a Reforge Anvil on the player's private island (requires (10) in order to make a reforge anvil specifically). This feature allows players to apply Reforge Stones to their items in order to get corresponding reforges on them.

When weapons or armor are upgraded, reforges are usually kept. However, if an Accessory is upgraded (such as upgrading a Feather Talisman into a Feather Ring, or Sea Creature Talisman into a Sea Creature Ring), the reforge on the item will be lost. The only exceptions to this rule are the Ring of Love, the Campfire Badge, Personal Compactor, and the Beastmaster Crest, where upgrading them will allow them to keep their reforges. Thus, it is recommended to reforge these four accessories at their lowest rarity to minimize the costs.

Note: Pickaxe reforges also apply to Drills.

Duplicate Prefixes
In addition to the reforges mentioned above, some Armor or tools share a name with certain reforges. To avoid repeats ("Wise Wise Dragon Armor"), they use a different prefix. They still have the same stat bonuses.

Reforge Stones
Reforge Stones are items that can be applied to Armor, Weapons, Tools, or Accessories by talking to Malik the Blacksmith or using the Reforge Anvil. They can be obtained through various means, such as mining, Dungeon Post-Boss Chests, or a drop from mobs.

Recommended Reforges and Combinations
As of the Dungeons update, more reforges were added to encourage players to adjust the best reforges for their roles. Due to the new update, recommendations might change. This list excludes reforge stones, which are generally better. (EXAMPLES AND EXPERIENCES ABOUT COMBINATIONS NEEDED, PLEASE ADD) Show/Hide List of Recommended Reforges

Trivia

 * This mechanic may be a reference to Terraria, as the game has a similar reforging mechanics and names. A full list can be viewed here.
 * As of the v0.7.11 update, all reforges have an equal chance to roll.
 * The custom prefixes apply only to Armor pieces and Pickaxes, so it is possible to obtain a "Shiny Shiny Yellow Rock".
 * Before 0.8, the only reforge that had its stats in a different color instead of gray was Godly, with its stats being red. Now, all reforges are colored blue.
