Reforging Affix Items

Apotheosis is a comprehensive RPG overhaul mod that brings loot-based progression to Minecraft through its Affix system, which enhances any weapon, armor, or tool with randomized stat bonuses and powerful special effects. The mod features five rarity tiers from Common to Mythic, each providing increasingly potent modifiers ranging from simple damage boosts to game-changing abilities like life steal, area damage, and execution thresholds. Players progress through five World Tiers that scale both difficulty and rewards, facing challenging Apothic Invaders who guarantee valuable drops. A deep socketing system allows Gems to be embedded into equipment for additional customization, while specialized workstations let you salvage unwanted items, reforge new affixes, augment specific bonuses, and upgrade gem purity.

Reforging lets you wipe the affixes off a piece of gear and roll a completely new set in their place. This is how you chase the perfect weapon or armor in Apotheosis, turning a middling drop into the stat rolls you actually want.

You can even reforge plain, unaffixed gear, so a vanilla Netherite Sword or a compatible weapon from another mod in your pack becomes a fully affixed weapon.

The material you feed into the table decides the rarity of the result, so reforging doubles as a rarity upgrade. Every reforge shows three finished versions of your item, and you pick the one you like best. No option is stronger than the others by design, so the choice is purely about which affixes you rolled.

How It Works

Reforging happens at a Reforging Table. Right-click the table to open its interface, which has three input slots and three result choices along the bottom. The center slot holds the gear you want to reforge, and it accepts any weapon, armor, tool, Shield, or Bow.

Item Slot

The center slot holds the item you want to reforge. Any affixable weapon, armor, tool, Shield, or Bow works here, even one that has no affixes yet.

Material Slot

The top-left slot takes a Rarity Material. Its rarity decides what rarity your reforged item becomes, so a Rare Material gives Rare gear.

Sigil Slot

The bottom-right slot holds Sigils of Rebirth. These are the fuel every reforge consumes, and higher rarities burn more of them.

Once an item and a material sit in the table, it shows three finished versions of your gear. Each one is a separate roll of brand new affixes at the material’s rarity, and the socket count also varies between options, one choice might offer two gem sockets while another shows none. Reforging clears every existing affix before it rolls, so you cannot keep an old affix you liked.

Common Material Common Material
Uncommon Material Uncommon Material
Rare Material Rare Material
Epic Material Epic Material
Mythic Material Mythic Material

The three choices work like an Enchanting Table and stay locked in place until you actually reforge. Swapping the same item back in or reopening the table shows the exact same three results. You cannot refresh for better options without spending a full reforge first.

Reforging Is Permanent

Reforging deletes all existing affixes and cannot be undone, so never reforge a piece you actually want to keep. The three previews are tied to a hidden seed and stay fixed, meaning completing one reforge is the only way to generate a fresh set of options.

Reforging also rerolls the item’s gem sockets, the new roll may return fewer slots than you started with. Remove any socketed gems with a Sigil of Withdrawal before reforging so you can put them back if the new roll restores those slots.

Getting Started

Start by crafting a Simple Reforging Table, which handles everything up to Rare rarity. It combines an Enchanting Table with Gem Dust, Smooth Stone, and an Iron Ingot. This is the cheaper of the two tables and covers most early and mid-game gear.

You also need Sigils of Rebirth as fuel. Craft them from Gem Fused Slate and Gem Dust, which yields six Sigils per craft. Keep a healthy stack on hand, since a single high-rarity reforge can eat several at once.

Finally, gather the Rarity Materials that match the rarity you want. A Common Material rolls Common gear, and each higher material rolls the matching tier up to Mythic. You collect these mainly through Salvaging old affix items, which has its own guide.

What You Need To Reforge

With the table placed and your materials ready, the reforge itself takes only a few clicks. Drop the weapon, armor, or tool you want to reforge into the center slot. The table instantly previews what the item could become, so you can see your options before committing anything.

The GUI for the Reforging Table

Place a Rarity Material in the top-left slot. Whatever rarity that material is becomes the rarity of your reforged item, so choose it to match the tier you are aiming for. Add Sigils of Rebirth to the bottom-right slot. Load enough to cover the cost of the choice you plan to take, since pricier choices consume more Sigils.

Click the result you want from the three shown along the bottom. That option is crafted onto your item, the cost is paid, and a fresh seed is rolled for your next reforge.

Reforging Costs

Every reforge charges experience levels, Rarity Materials, and Sigils of Rebirth, and the price climbs with rarity. The table below lists the base cost for each tier. That base cost applies to the left-hand choice, which is always the cheapest of the three.

Those numbers only cover the left choice. The middle choice charges double the base cost and the right choice charges triple, across Materials, Sigils, and experience alike. Take the cheapest option unless one of the pricier rolls is clearly the affix set you want.

The Simple Reforging Table stops at Rare rarity. To reforge Epic or Mythic gear, you must upgrade it into the full Reforging Table using a Netherite Ingot, Nether Bricks, and Epic Materials. The full table keeps every function of the simple one and adds the top two tiers.

Because the material sets the output rarity, reforging is also a rarity upgrade. Feed a higher-tier material to push a Rare item up to Epic or Mythic, as long as your table supports that tier. This even works on plain gear, letting you mint high-rarity affixed items from scratch.

FAQ

Can I choose which affixes I get?

Not directly. Reforging rolls a random set of affixes, and you pick from three finished results. You cannot select individual affixes, only the whole rolled combination you prefer.

Can reforging change my item’s rarity?

Yes. The Rarity Material you insert sets the output rarity, so feeding a higher-tier material upgrades the item. You do need a table that supports that rarity, since the Simple Reforging Table caps at Rare.

Do I need affixed gear to reforge?

No. Any valid weapon, armor, tool, Shield, or Bow can be reforged, even one with no affixes at all. This lets you turn plain gear into fully affixed equipment.

Why are the three options the same every time I open the table?

The results are locked to a hidden seed until you finish a reforge. Reopening the table or reinserting the same item shows identical options. The only way to get a new set is to complete one reforge, which rerolls the seed.

What is the difference between the two Reforging Tables?

The Simple Reforging Table reforges items up to Rare rarity. The full Reforging Table adds Epic and Mythic support and is crafted by upgrading the simple one. Both share the same three-slot interface and controls.

How do I get Sigils of Rebirth?

Craft them from Gem Fused Slate and Gem Dust, which yields six Sigils per craft. Since both ingredients come from Gem Dust, keeping a steady supply of dust keeps you stocked on reforge fuel.

Will reforging remove my socketed gems?

Reforging rerolls the item’s socket count along with its affixes, so the new roll may return fewer slots than you had before. Use a Sigil of Withdrawal to remove all socketed gems before reforging, then re-socket them once you have a roll you are keeping.
