Reforging Bench

A Reforging Bench is a crafting bench that allows three items of the same base type to be destroyed, creating a new item with similar properties. This process is colloquially referred to as "3-to-1".

Acquisition

The Reforging Bench is unlocked after completing the quest Treasures of Utzaal by handing in The Hammer of Kamasa to Oswald in Act 3. Doing so will unlock the bench in towns and hideouts.

Mechanics

Input items

The three destroyed items must meet the following criteria:

• The items must be identified.
• The items must be of the same rarity.
  • The equipment items cannot be normal rarity.
  • The Waystones ignore this rule.
• The items must have the same base type.
• The items cannot be corrupted.
• If the item has variants (e.g. Shrine Sceptre), all of the items must be of the same variant.
  • The level of granted skills do not matter.
• The items cannot be wider than 2 inventory spaces - this prevents the use of Tapestry Relic and Incense Relic.

Output item

The new item will inherit the following properties:

• Rarity
• Base type (and variant)
• Item level of the lowest item level input

Version history

Version	Changes
0.2.0	The Reforging Benches in towns have been repositioned to more optimal locations. The Stash and Guild Stashes have also been slightly spaced apart to reduce misclicking. Runes now have 3 tiers, for example the Storm Rune has been split into a Lesser Storm Rune, a Storm Rune and a Greater Storm Rune. You are able to reforge 3 Lesser Runes for 1 regular Rune of that type, and reforge 3 regular Runes for 1 Greater Rune of that type. You can no longer reforge 3 Runes to obtain a random Rune in return.
0.1.1	Fixed a bug where Soul Cores of Atmohua, Zantipi, or Cholotl could not be used for the 3:1 recipe.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
