With the release of the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch, players can now take advantage of the Reforging system! This system allows players to take a portion of a single stat on a piece of gear and change it to a stat of their choice, including Mastery. We've covered all of the restrictions currently in place for Reforging, as well as where you can find your faction's Arcane Reforgers in our Cataclysm Classic Item Reforging Overview.
Reforging in Cataclysm Classic
Reforging brings with it a set of rules and restrictions on what can or can't be reforged, as well as the stats that are available to players when choosing their target stat. This is primarily due to a number of stat-related changes that Cataclysm Classic brings with it, in addition to which stats continue to be available on gear that players will find during the expansion.
For those who played Mists of Pandaria, it's important to note that the stat changes to Expertise are not present in Cataclysm Classic. For the duration of this expansion, Expertise remains a melee-only stat, and will not provide Hit Rating for casters.
