Reforge System

The Reforge System is a custom NM-hunting + armor-upgrade pipeline that takes you from base AF/Relic/Empyrean armor to +3 versions through three parallel tracks.

Summary

Talk to a Reforge Spawner at Gwora Corridor — there are two spawn stations, one on each side of the hall. Pop one of three NM pools. Each kill drops a random base armor piece from that pool's set plus marks for that set. Take base pieces to the Reforge Vendor (next to the east station) to upgrade base → +1 → +2 → +3 using the same marks.

How it works

Three parallel tracks. Each track ties one NM pool, one currency, and one armor set together:

Track	NM pool	Currency	Armor set
AF	Sky Gods	AF Marks	Job's AF/Artifact armor
Relic	Unity NMs	Relic Marks	Job's Relic armor
Empyrean	Abyssea NMs	Empyrean Marks	Job's Empyrean armor

Every NM kill awards:

1. A 30% chance at a pre-upgraded drop. When a drop lands, the piece arrives already at +1 (65%), +2 (28%), or +3 (7%) — skipping part or all of the base→+3 mark grind for that slot. There's a 50% chance the drop is for the killer's main job; the remainder fall to a random piece across all jobs. A job-match prints (main-job match!) in chat.
2. Marks for that track's currency — every kill, regardless of whether a gear piece dropped.

The Reforge Vendor sells progressive upgrades: trade in a base piece + marks for +1, trade +1 + marks for +2, trade +2 + marks for +3. Pre-upgraded drops skip ahead in this chain.

Roughly how many kills for a full +3 set?

With a 30% drop rate and the 50% main-job bias, expect ~50-60 NM kills to fully kit a 5-piece set on one job. Dropped pieces arrive pre-upgraded (+1/+2/+3), so marks primarily fund remaining tier bumps rather than the full chain. Marks accumulate every kill even on non-drop runs, so progress feels steady.

NPC locations

NPC	Zone	Position
Reforge Spawner (west station)	Gwora Corridor	(-20.9, 0.0, -0.3)
Reforge Spawner (east station)	Gwora Corridor	(18.5, 0.0, -0.2)
Reforge Vendor	Gwora Corridor	(20.5, 0.0, -0.2)

Each station pops its NM a few steps away, so two groups can farm simultaneously without overlapping.

Upgrade costs

Set	base → +1	+1 → +2	+2 → +3
AF (Sky Gods)	100	300	650
Relic (Unity NMs)	100	300	650
Empyrean (Abyssea NMs)	100	300	650

Costs are paid in that set's marks (e.g. AF upgrades cost AF Marks).
