Forge and Reforge intro in Dungeon Lootr

Crafting vs Forge (do not mix them up)

Panel	What it does	Use it when…
Crafting	Recipes → new items, materials, class items from fragments	You have a recipe and the mats
Forge	Work on existing gear: Upgrade, Reforge, Protect, Enhance	You already extracted a piece worth keeping

Decision: if the goal is “make a Class Item from 50 fragments,” that is a Crafting / Forge recipe path — see Boss Rush class items. This guide is for gear stones.

The four Forge actions

Select the gear first. Read the preview (Forge Level, Gear Score, Coin + material cost) before you confirm.

Action	What guides say it does	Spend when…
Upgrade	Raises item level / Gear Score; costs materials + Coins	The piece is your main slot and you can afford a miss
Reforge	Rerolls stat affixes using a Reforge Stone	Base rarity / Gear Score is fine; the bonuses are wrong
Protect	Uses a Protection Scroll to cushion a failed Forge attempt	The Upgrade would hurt if it fails (panel defines the exact protect)
Enhance	Further pushes stats; often tied to a Purity Stone	You already like the affixes and want the next push

Decision: Reforge does not replace Upgrade. Wrong affixes → Reforge. Low Gear Score → Upgrade.

Where the stones come from

Item	Common sources (multi-source)
Forge Stone / Forge Stone Bundle	Codes (FORGESKIP, LOOTRISBACK, …), dungeon clears
Reforge Stone / Reforge Stone Bundle	Codes (FORGESKIP, 20KPLAYERS, …), dungeon clears
Protection Scroll	Dungeon clears (guides)
Purity Stone	Craft: 10 Gold Ore + 5 Obsidian Ore + 2 Celestial Ore (verify on panel)
Aspect Gems	Codes (GIVEMEGEMSPLEASE) and floor / Challenge rewards — Aspects sit on weapons; not the same as Reforge

Bundles sit in inventory until you open them. Codes are community-listed; treat reward lines as unverified until you redeem.

Decision: if you are stone-starved, prioritize codes with Forge / Reforge Bundles before Luck Potion codes.

Spend order (so you do not tilt)

1. One keeper slot — main weapon or the armor piece that dies first. Everything else waits.
2. Upgrade that keeper until Gear Score clearly beats your next best drop.
3. Reforge only after you decide the base item stays. Do not Reforge a piece you will replace next extract.
4. Protect on Upgrades you cannot afford to roll back.
5. Enhance last — Purity Stones cost ore you also need for Exotic crafts.

Soft stop: keeper Gear Score feels fine for the dungeons you clear; bank stones. Hard stop: affixes match the class job (damage / survivability) and you still have stones for the next keeper upgrade. Never: dump a full bag of Reforge Stones on Common extract trash.

Match Reforge to the class job

You are rerolling affixes, not the class.

If your run fails because…	Bias Reforge toward…	Skip burning stones on…
You cannot kill rooms fast enough	Offensive / crit-style affixes (as the panel labels them)	Pure cosmetic or dump stats
You die on extract	Survivability affixes	Glass-cannon rolls on armor
Boss Rush floors stall	The weapon you actually press	Off-hand junk you never equip

Decision: read the live affix names on the Forge panel. Do not chase a Sportskeeda synonym if the UI uses different words.

Class items at the Forge (pointer only)

Cursed King / Honored One / Anti Magic Class Items can be crafted from 50 boss fragments after Boss Rush farming. That is endgame Crafting, not day-one Reforge practice.

• Sukuna → Cursed King
• Gojo → Honored One
• Asta → Anti Magic

Full path: Boss Rush class items.
