Shadow Dungeon Reforging and Enchanting

The Steam store groups Reforging, Enchanting & Enhancement as a single feature line next to Mystic Dungeon Challenges and the huge item pool. Version 1.0 (August 26, 2026) then listed rift-exclusive Super Enhancement Stones, Essence Stones, Permanent Magic Stones, Socketing Stones, Golden Hammer, and Divine Mirror after Greater Rifts unlock. That is the official crafting-adjacent vocabulary. This page will not invent blacksmith gold multipliers, Ore/Dust/Crystal farms, Chapter 2 node density, or a keep-or-reroll percentage.

Patch 1.0.1 did not rewrite these systems. It restored backpack sort and sprite auto salvage so you can actually see what you are about to reforge. Live version as of August 27, 2026 remains 1.0.1.

The Rune System and Transmutation & Crafting on the store’s planned future content list are additional upcoming free systems. They are not a restatement of launch reforging. Track dates on the Updates Hub and Roadmap.

What reforging and enchanting are for

Shadow Dungeon generates more than 100 million items from 3,200 templates. More than half of equipment can carry extra skills. Weapons roll 1,000-plus affixes in five categories and about 2,400 granted skills (Weapon Affixes). Reforging and enchanting exist so a good base can move toward your class identity — elemental magic, dual blades, precision, or demons and skeletons — without waiting for a perfect natural drop.

The 1.0 post does not say whether reforging rerolls all affixes, one slot, or a hidden bench option. Open the bench in-game. Steam discussions titled Elemental reforge are player questions, not a published lock recipe. If the client offers an elemental constraint, use it; this wiki will not fake one.

Enchanting sits in the same store phrase as reforging and enhancement. Do not assume it is Diablo-style cube recipes. Socketing and enhancement stones from rifts are the named materials that belong in this loop after the story.

Rift tools: hammer, mirror, stones

After the main story, Greater Rifts open on Normal, Master, Nightmare, and Inferno. Higher difficulties improve rare odds and extra affix rolls. The exclusive list includes:

• Socketing Stones
• Various Super Enhancement Stones
• Essence Stones
• Permanent Magic Stones
• Golden Hammer
• Divine Mirror

This wiki will not assign unofficial drop rates or “best hammer use.” Park them in the unlimited warehouse (Inventory). Treasure Sprites salvage unwanted equipment to gold; do not assume they should eat a Divine Mirror.

Players asking what Arcane Stones do should match the tooltip to Socketing / Super Enhancement / Essence / Permanent Magic Stones rather than a fan wiki stat block.

Gold, salvage, and sort

Sprite salvage is the published gold loop for junk. 1.0.1 fixed auto salvage and the one-click backpack sorting hotkey. Sort, then decide what is worth a reforge click. Extra bag pages still unlock through quests. There is no MTX material shop and no redeem codes (Codes).

Map-tied drops mean you reforge for the maps you are clearing, not to overlevel an early dungeon (Leveling). A perfectly rolled early weapon does not downscale a later hell map.

Class and endgame notes

Fifteen armor sets per class often alter skill forms. Reforging a set piece is about keeping that form, not chasing an invented 2-piece table. After level 100, Paragon adds attributes. Unlimited skill points let you hybrid your three trees when a new granted skill appears.

Mystic Dungeon Challenges are store-listed separately. Do not assume unique forge rules there unless the client shows them.

1.0.1’s pinnacle talent respec fix matters if you reforge into a new playstyle and reset trees. Update first.
