Description
Continued from: ReforgeLite
ReforgeLite is a reforging calculator for Mists of Pandaria Classic that determines the optimal way to reforge your gear based on stat weights and caps.
Commands
--------
Open the addon window with any of these commands:
/reforge
/rfl
/ReforgeLite
The window also opens automatically when you talk to a Reforging NPC (configurable in settings).
Basic Usage
1. Set up your stat weights in the Weights section, or select a preset for your class/spec.
2. Configure stat caps if needed (e.g., hit cap, expertise cap). You can:
- Use cap presets from the dropdown
- Set custom cap values
- Choose cap methods: At Least, At Most, Exactly, or Value After Cap
3. Set your Target Level to match the content you're optimizing for (affects hit/exp requirements).
4. Click Calculate. The addon will find the optimal reforge configuration.
5. Once complete, click Show to see which items need reforging. If the Reforging NPC window is open, click Reforge to apply all changes automatically.
Importing Stat Weights
ReforgeLite can import stat weights from external sources:
WoWSims: Use the "Export EP weights" option in WoWSims and paste the JSON string.
QuestionablyEpic (QE Live): Click the Export button and select "ReforgeLite Export", then paste the string.
Pawn: Paste your Pawn import string directly.
To import, either:
- Click the Import button in ReforgeLite
- Click the Import button on the Reforging NPC window (if enabled in settings)
Item Locking
Click on any item icon in the stats table to lock that item's reforge. Locked items will not be changed during optimization. This is useful for:
- Items shared between specs
- Off-spec gear you don't want modified
Settings
Access settings at the bottom of the ReforgeLite window:
- Open window when reforging: Auto-open ReforgeLite at Reforging NPC
- Show import button: Display import button on Reforging NPC window
- Update tooltip: Show reforge recommendations in item tooltips
- Spec profiles: Maintain separate configurations per specialization
- Use Branch & Bound: Alternative algorithm that can be faster with dual caps
- Clamp to screen: Prevent window from being moved off-screen
Custom Presets
Save your current weights/caps as a custom preset:
1. Configure your weights and caps
2. Click the Save button next to the preset dropdown
3. Enter a name for your preset
Custom presets are saved per-class and shared across all characters of that class.
Tips
- Stat weights are relative, so you can multiply all weights by any factor without affecting results.
- Only integer weights are supported. Multiply decimal weights by 100 (e.g., 1.5 becomes 150).
- The addon handles soft caps (value changes after cap) and hard caps (absolute limits).
- For dual stat caps (e.g., hit + expertise), enable Branch & Bound for potentially faster calculations.
Troubleshooting
Window not appearing:
1. Ensure the addon is enabled in the character select addon list.
2. Enable Lua errors in Interface Options to check for error messages.
3. Reset window position by deleting:
