Reforge Update – The Best Reforges in Hypixel Skyblock
With the recent accessory update, reforging your accessories in Hypixel Skyblock has become a bit different. Now that accessories grant Magical Power, it’s important to choose the right reforges for optimal performance. But with so many options available, it can be confusing to know which reforges are the best.
Stoneless Reforging
For weapons, tools, equipment, and armor, you can reforge them without the need for stones. Simply talk to the Blacksmith (-28, 69, -125) and place the item you want to reforge in the slot above the anvil. The cost of this type of reforging is in coins, which varies depending on the item. Click on the anvil, and the Blacksmith will randomly roll the dice to give you a reforge. You may need to roll the dice multiple times until you get the desired reforge. However, for accessories, you must visit Maxwell.
Reforging with Stones
To reforge your accessories, you’ll need 9 of the same type of Power Stone. These stones can be obtained from various sources. Once you have the stones, visit Maxwell (46, 69, -33) to permanently learn a reforge. This means you can switch your accessories back to that reforge at any time.
By default, you already have some accessory reforges learned, such as Commando, Disciplined, Inspired, Ominous, Prepared, Fortuitous, Pretty, Protected, Simple, and Warrior.
Reforging Weapons, Tools, Equipment, and Armor
For these items, the reforge system remains the same as before. Use a reforge anvil (not a regular anvil), place the item on the left slot, and the reforge stone on the right slot to reforge them.
Swords
Depending on the stats your sword needs, you’ll want to choose different reforges.
Intelligence
If your sword requires more intelligence, like the Hyperion, the Heroic reforge is the best choice. This reforge can be obtained from the Blacksmith and grants +50 ❁ Strength, +125 ✎ Intelligence, and +7% ⚔ Attack Speed on a Mythic-rarity sword. It’s crucial to balance your ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage for maximum damage output. You can check your stats by hovering over the Diamond Sword in the Skyblock Menu and opening the inventory menu.
Strength
For early-game players, the Spicy reforge is recommended. It grants +4 ❁ Strength, +1% ☣ Crit Chance, +45% ☠ Crit Damage, and +5% ⚔ Attack Speed on a Rare-rarity sword. In mid to late game, the Fabled reforge is the best choice outside of dungeons. It grants a bonus to critical hits and outperforms Withered if your Catacombs Level is below 42. However, in dungeons, the Withered reforge is ideal.
Crit Damage
For early-game players, the Sharp reforge is recommended. It grants +14% ☣ Crit Chance and +40% ☠ Crit Damage on a Rare-rarity sword. In mid to late game, the Suspicious reforge is the best choice, especially for Scylla or Astraea swords. It grants +110% ☠ Crit Damage and +10% ☣ Crit Chance on a Mythic-rarity sword.
Bows
For early-game players, there are three bow reforges to choose from.

The Forceful reforge is perfect for players who need bonus ❁ Strength. It requires 9 Acacia Birdhouse power stones and grants +54 ❤ Health, +582 ❁ Strength, +155 ☠ Crit Damage, and a Power Bonus of 4 ⫽ Ferocity.

Intelligence
For players in need of more ✎ Intelligence, the Bizarre reforge is ideal. It grants -78 ❁ Strength, +1396 ✎ Intelligence, and -78 ☠ Crit Damage. However, this reforge is quite costly, requiring 9 Eccentric Painting power stones. For a cheaper alternative, the Sighted reforge provides +1163 ✎ Intelligence and a Power Bonus of +3 ๑ Ability Damage. It requires 9 Ender Monocle power stones. If you want a combination of ❁ Strength and Intelligence, the Demonic reforge is a good choice. It grants +178 ❁ Strength, +896 ✎ Intelligence, and a Power Bonus of +50 ☠ Crit Damage.

Tanking
It’s generally recommended to prioritize damage reforges for accessories, as the health and defense bonuses from tanking reforges pale in comparison to armor stats. However, if you prefer tanking, the Pleasant reforge is a good choice. It requires 9 Precious Pearl power stones and grants +434 ❤ Health, +465 ❈ Defense, and a Power Bonus of 10% Extra Self Healing.

Axes
For the Treecapitator, the Toil reforge is recommended. It grants ☯ Foraging Wisdom and can be obtained from the Toil Log reforge stone.
Farming Tools
For farming tools like the Pythagorean Potato Hoe and Melon Dicer, the Blessed reforge is recommended. It grants ☘ Farming Fortune and ☯ Farming Wisdom and can be obtained from the Blessed Fruit reforge stone. However, for crops with high yields per break, such as Nether Warts or Sugar Cane, the Bountiful reforge is slightly better in terms of money. It grants ☘ Farming Fortune and +0.2 coins per crop.
