Smith Guide

system10/17/2026

The Smith in town (Town → Smith) makes your weapons, armor, helmets and boots stronger. It does two things:

  • Upgrade — raise an item from +0 up to +10. Every level adds a share of the item's base stats (normally +10% per level, so +100% at +10).
  • Reforge — use a reforge stone to reroll an item's rarity or its affixes.

Equipped items can be upgraded and reforged too — you don't have to take them off.

Upgrading

  1. Open the Upgrade tab and pick an item on the left.
  2. The Smith shows the success chance, the gold and the materials for the next level, and a preview of your stats after the upgrade.
  3. Press Upgrade.

If the upgrade fails, the gold and materials are used up and the item is destroyed — unless a Protection Scroll protects it. The upgrade to +1 always succeeds, so this can happen on every upgrade from +2 upward. Protection Scrolls are sold in the General Store for 25,000 gold; with one, a failed upgrade only costs the gold and materials and the item keeps its level. One scroll is used up per protected upgrade (success or fail). Without a scroll the Smith asks you to confirm before a risky upgrade. Higher levels have lower chances, so bring spare materials for +8 and up. The last three levels are the hardest: +8 succeeds 10% of the time, +9 5% and +10 only 1%. The Smith always shows the exact chance before you press Upgrade.

Upgrade materials

The Smith no longer uses Iron — every upgrade needs materials that only drop in Raids. The higher the level, the rarer the material:

MaterialRarityNeeded forDrops in
Raidsteel Ingot Raidsteel IngotUncommonevery level (+1 to +10)every Raid
Soulforge Ember Soulforge EmberRare+4 to +10Adept, Veteran and Mythic Raids
Wyrmheart Crystal Wyrmheart CrystalEpic+7 to +10Veteran and Mythic Raids
Void Star Fragment Void Star FragmentLegendary+9 and +10Mythic Raids (very rarely Veteran)

Each level needs a little more than the one before. For a weapon or armor:

LevelRaidsteelSoulforgeWyrmheartVoid Star
+12–––
+34–––
+451––
+673––
+7841–
+910631
+1011742

Helmets and boots need one Raidsteel Ingot less per level. The Smith always shows the exact amounts for your item.

Raid drops per clear (whole team)

Raid tierRaidsteelSoulforgeWyrmheartVoid Star

Adept4–870%: 1–3––
Veteran6–1090%: 2–450%: 1–23%: 1
Mythic8–143–580%: 1–320%: 1

The Raid chest is shared: materials are split fairly between the raiders. Open a Raid's Drops list to see its exact loot.

Reforging

Reforge stones are used at the Smith (Reforge tab), not from your bag. Pick a stone, pick an item, press Reforge. Each reforge uses one stone and a small gold fee.

StoneWhat it doesWhat staysWhere to get it
Prism Shard Prism Shardrerolls the rarityaffixes, upgrade levelStore (40 Gems), Adept+ Raids (rare)
Chaos Rune Chaos Runererolls all affixesrarity, upgrade levelStore (120 Gems), Veteran+ Raids (very rare)

Buy stones in the Smith tab of the Store, or right on the Smith's Reforge tab.

Prism Shard — rarity

The new rarity is rolled like a normal drop. It can go down!

RarityChanceBase stats
Legendary1%+25%
Epic5%+17%
Rare12%+11%
Uncommon22%+5%
Common60%+0%

The item's stats are rebuilt for the new rarity (including a new roll for elemental affinities), then its upgrade level is applied again. A Prism Shard never changes affixes — a Common item made Legendary keeps its one affix.

Chaos Rune — affixes

The item gets a completely new set of affixes: as many as its rarity allows (Common 1, Uncommon 2, Rare 3, Epic 4, Legendary 5). Which affixes you get is random.

High values are rare. A reforged affix leans towards the low end of its range: on a 1–6% affix the top value comes up only about 1 in 12 times, and a perfect item is close to impossible. The Smith shows how good each affix rolled with a quality bar. Your old affixes are gone once you reforge — there is no undo.

Tips

  • Upgrade the gear you will keep. Reforging doesn't touch the upgrade level, so you can upgrade first and reforge later.
  • Try a Prism Shard on an item with good affixes, and a Chaos Rune on an item that already has the rarity you want.
  • Lock your best items in the bag so you can't sell them by mistake. Locked items can still be upgraded and reforged.
