Guide - [Guide] How to reforge talismans (2024)

So I've recently noticed quite a few people asking about how to properly reforge their talismans. I'm not the most knowledgable on this topic but I thought I would try to share some of my knowledge on it, feel free to correct me.

So talismans are reforged in order to get more crit chance and crit damage, boosting your damage. Reforges themselves don't add too many stats, but with 39 total unique talismans the reforge bonuses add up. Reforge bonuses are also stronger on objects or higher rarity. This means that each talisman is important to have, as they are only strong in large numbers. Use megit's spreadsheet to check off which talismans you have and which ones you need. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...7H-e38Pzy-k1uJAhY2vAzj620Y/htmlview?sle=true# . It should be noted that talisman reforges only apply on unique talismans. So if you have a feather talisman, ring, and artifact, you will get the reforge bonus on each of them (the effects of the ring and talisman don't work though), but if you have 20 xp artifacts you will only get the reforge bonus for one.

The first thing you should know is if you want to use crit pots or not. You want to get up to 99% crit chance overall since spicy reforge on a sword gives you 1% crit chance. Crit III pots give you 20% crit chance, so if you use them you want to get up to 79% crit chance, and without crit pots you want 99% crit chance. You can check your crit chance and crit damage by clicking your nether star and hovering your mouse over your head in the top middle.

Once you have your crit chance goal set, it's time to reforge. For common/uncommon talismans, godly/zealous give the most crit chance, and for rare/epic talismans only godly gives the most crit chance (in common/uncommon talismans godly/zealous give the same reforge bonus but above those rarities godly gives more). As for crit damage, itchy gives the most crit damage. Since reforge bonuses are stronger when on objects or higher rarities, so since you are trying to maximize the crit damage you can get while still having 99% overall crit chance people usually do as much itchy as possibly on rare and epic talismans.
So the usual setup is this : godly/zealous on your common and uncommon talismans until you get to 79% or 99% depending on your choice to use pots or not, and the rest of your talismans should be itchy. It should be noted that getting godly/zealous on all your common and uncommon talismans will only give you 38% crit chance (I think feel free to correct me on this) so you will need to have properly reforged your armor which gives you a much larger boost in reforge bonuses. If you do all of these steps and still do not have the crit chance you desire you can reforge some of your rare talismans to godly. Note that this may result in overshooting your goal of crit chance, in which you would reforge some of your commons and uncommons to itchy to lower your crit chance back to your goal.

Reforging armor is really easy, you just do full godly pretty much. Godly gives more crit damage and some crit chance, but if you really need more crit chance the unpleasant reforge for armors gives more crit chance and some crit damage, it's really just godly but with crit damage and crit chance flipped.

Some people do rare and epic with godly and common and uncommon with itchy and others do a mix, but I'm just sharing the setup I use and all other people I know use.

You should definitely get the max talisman bag for this because even max only fits a bit over half your talismans I believe, I personally have 14 talismans that don't fit in my bag I carry around and I'm still missing 3 talismans.

I also probably made a ton of typos but I'm too lazy to proofread this.

Edit : It should be noted that this is just a very basic guide and when you're pretty late endgame you can change your talisman setup to do itchy for commons and godly for epics, as noted in this post https://hypixel.net/threads/talisman-guide-99-have-reforged-wrong.2306772/
