Reforging
Trade 40% of one secondary stat for a different secondary stat on the same item, without changing the item’s appearance or item level.
Status: LIVE — reforging is enabled and the client UI is available. Heirlooms and random-property items cannot be reforged.
At a glance
- 40% conversion: the game removes 40% of one allowed stat and adds that amount to another allowed stat.
- Allowed stats: Spirit, Dodge, Parry, Hit, Crit, Haste, and Expertise.
- One reforge per item. Remove the current reforge before applying a different one.
- Free in the live configuration: no token, material, or configured gold cost.
- Heirlooms cannot be reforged.
- Random-property items cannot be reforged — for example, “of the Bear” or “of Intellect” greens.
- The new stat is only displayed to the item’s owner. The stat works; other players may not see it in their tooltip.
- Trades, mail, Auction House, and guild bank remove the reforge.
- Master Reforger is entry
200004, but has no confirmed static spawn; use/reforge.
How to use
- Equip the item you want to change.
- Type
/reforgeto open the ReforgeUI window./reforgeuiand/rfgare aliases. - Select an equipped item from the list. Items that cannot be reforged are marked.
- Choose the stat to reduce. It must be one of the allowed stats and must already be on the item.
- Choose the stat to add. It must be allowed and must not already be on the item.
- Preview the result. The preview shows the amount removed and the amount added.
- Apply the reforge. The item now has the reduced source stat and the new stat.
- To undo it, select the item and use Remove. The item returns to its original stats.
- To change it, remove the current reforge first, then apply a new one.
Reforging does not change the item’s armor type, weapon type, item level, sockets, enchant, or transmog appearance.
Commands & UI

/rfg | Alias for /reforge | — |

| ReforgeUI Suggestions | Suggests reforges from your stat priorities | Optional helper |
The .reforgeui commands used by the addon are an internal request bridge. You do not need to type them; use the UI.
NPC references
| Name | Entry | Location | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master Reforger | 200004 | No confirmed static spawn in the current world data | Optional reforging NPC |
The UI is the intended access point. If you prefer an NPC and none is present, ask staff to confirm the Master Reforger’s placement.
Tips
- Do not reforge heirlooms. They are excluded. Use a real item for the slot.
- Do not reforge random-property leveling greens. They are excluded too.
- Check whether the target stat is already on the item. Reforging cannot add a stat the item already has.
- Reforge before you enchant or gem if you are still deciding. The reforge does not consume the item, so you can remove it freely.
- Do not trade a reforged item casually. Trading, mailing, auctioning, or guild-banking it removes the reforge. If you want to move it, plan to reforge again afterward.
- Trust the character sheet, not another player’s tooltip. The new stat is only visible to the owner.
- Use the suggestions as a starting point, not gospel. They are heuristics, not a simulator.
- Remove before applying a second reforge. The UI will refuse to stack two reforges on one item.

Admin note
Live config: Reforging.Enable=1, Reforging.Percentage=40.0, Reforging.ReforgeableStats="6,13,14,31,32,36,37", Reforging.UICommand.Enable=1. The .reforgeui command is a player-security request bridge used by ReforgeUI, with internal signatures for list, preview, apply, and remove; it is not a normal chat workflow. Master Reforger is entry 200004; the template exists, but there is no confirmed static spawn. Do not combine this module with an item-upgrade system that also rewrites item stats.
