Description
Forge a legacy. Rebirth your gear. Become legendary.
Smith's Tiers Reforged is a progression-focused equipment overhaul that transforms every weapon, tool, and armor piece into a long-term investment. Instead of discarding your gear for the next tier, you sharpen, upgrade, and rebirth your favorite items — carrying them from early-game iron to end-game divinity across 5 Rebirths and 11 Tiers of mastery.
🎯 Core Features
- Tier System — 10 tiers of power (0 to Master) with scaling damage, durability, armor, and mining speed
- Rebirth System — 5 Prestige loops that reset your item to Tier 0 but increase scaling power permanently
- Augment Modules — 5 unique socketable abilities unlocked at Rebirth II and V
- Custom Smithing Blocks — Blacksmith Furnace, Smithing Anvil, and Blacksmith Grindstone
- Whetstone & Hammer Progression — Craftable sharpening tools and tier-up hammers with 6 rarity levels
- Long-Term Character Investment — Your first iron sword can become your end-game god-slayer
⚔️ The Tier System
Every valid item (swords, axes, pickaxes, shovels, hoes, armor, tridents, maces) starts at Tier 0 (Unranked). To advance:
Step 1: Sharpening
Use Whetstones on the Blacksmith Grindstone to fill your item's Tier Progress Bar (0-100%).
| Whetstone | Rebirth 0 | Rebirth 1 | Rebirth 2 | Rebirth 3 | Rebirth 4 | Rebirth 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 10-15% | 5-10% | 3-7% | 2-5% | 1-3% | 1-2% |
| Intermediate | 15-25% | 10-15% | 7-12% | 5-8% | 3-5% | 2-3% |
| Advanced | 25-50% | 15-25% | 12-18% | 8-12% | 5-8% | 3-5% |
| Legendary | 50-75% | 25-50% | 18-25% | 12-18% | 8-12% | 5-7% |
| Mythical | 100% | 75-100% | 50-75% | 25-50% | 12-25% | 7-12% |
💡 Pro Tip: Lower-tier whetstones are more effective on early Rebirths. Save your Mythical Whetstones for Rebirth 4-5!
Step 2: Tier Up
When your progress bar reaches 100%, use the appropriate Blacksmith Hammer on the Smithing Anvil to advance to the next Tier.
| Tier | Damage Bonus | Durability Bonus | Armor Bonus | Mining Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +2% | +2% | +1% | +2% |
| 5 | +10% | +10% | +5% | +10% |
| 10 | +20% | +20% | +10% | +20% |
📈 These values scale with Rebirth. At Rebirth 5, each tier gives +15% instead of +2%!
Step 3: Rebirth
When your item reaches Tier Master (10), it can be Reborn:
- Place the item on the Smithing Anvil
- Hold the required Rebirth Material in your off-hand
- Strike with the appropriate Hammer
| Rebirth | Material | Hammer Required | New Scaling | Augment Slots |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Block of Iron | Simple Hammer | +4% / tier | — |
| II | Block of Gold | Intermediate Hammer | +6% / tier | Slot 1 🔓 |
| III | Block of Diamond | Advanced Hammer | +8% / tier | 1 Slot |
| IV | Block of Emerald | Legendary Hammer | +10% / tier | 1 Slot |
| V | Block of Netherite | Mythical Hammer | +15% / tier | Slot 2 🔓 |
🔄 Rebirth resets your item to Tier 0 but retains all Augments and increases permanent scaling. Your item becomes stronger with every loop!
🔨 The Blacksmith's Workshop
Smithing Anvil
The heart of your forging. Place items on top to:
- Tier Up items at 100% progress (hammer + any valid hammer)
- Rebirth Master-tier items (hammer + rebirth material in offhand)
- Repair damaged items (hammer + repair material in offhand)
- Craft Whetstones (hammer + material in offhand)
- Apply Augments (augment item in main hand)
⚠️ Higher-tier hammers can be used on any lower Rebirth. A Mythical Hammer works for everything!
Blacksmith Grindstone
Your sharpening station. Hold a valid item in your main hand and a Whetstone in your offhand, then right-click to sharpen.
Blacksmith Furnace
A 3-slot blast furnace that smelts up to 3 items simultaneously using Charcoal as fuel. Perfect for mass-processing ores before forging.
💎 Augment Modules
Unlock Augment Sockets at Rebirth II (1 slot) and Rebirth V (2 slots). Mix and match modules to create your perfect build!
| Module | Applicable On | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Molten Core | Pickaxe / Sword / Mace / Axe | Pickaxe: Auto-smelts mined ores. Weapons: Ignites targets for 5s; +20% damage vs burning enemies |
| Magnetic Core | Chestplate | Passively attracts dropped items within 6 blocks |
| Knowledge Transmog | Pickaxe / Armor | Pickaxe (Crouch): Converts "trash" blocks (dirt, stone, gravel) to XP. Armor: +50% experience from all sources |
| Lumbering Core | Axe | Crouch + Break: Fells entire trees up to 128 connected logs |
| Berserker's Fury | Sword / Mace | Damage increases by up to +50% as your health drops |
🧩 Build Ideas: Molten + Berserker on a Sword = burning enemies take massive damage. Knowledge Transmog armor + Lumbering axe = maximum XP farming!

📊 Rebirth Scaling Comparison
A Netherite Sword at various stages:
| Stage | Tier | Base Damage | Bonus | Final Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh | 0 | 8.0 | — | 8.0 |
| Rebirth 0, Master | 10 | 8.0 | +20% | 9.6 |
| Rebirth 2, Master | 10 | 8.0 | +60% | 12.8 |
| Rebirth 5, Master | 10 | 8.0 | +150% | 20!! |
🔥 A fully Reborn item deals more than double the original damage — and that's before Augments!
