Reforge Ninja Tools

With the update of 4.0, we have 3 new red tools in game, plus red gourd in 3.0, we have 4 red tools in total, and one good news, we finally have red nature stones now.

However, some of new lvl players might be a bit confused about how and when to reforge ninja tools and which ninja tools to reforge, this is what I am going to go in details in this guide. There are also players asking where to get them, so I will add an extra section about that.

Where to get the new ninja tools

The new ninja tools are mostly in Brother's Farewell TI, and Asura's Sword is in Hard level The Rinnegan's Pain TI.

However, although only red gourds are shown in Brother's Farewell Hard, I got fan and mask from doing Bro's Hard TI as well. So for higher power players, it is recommended to do Hard TI, and they seem to have higher chance of dropping red nature stones as well. So far, Asura Sword seems only drop at Pain Hard.

Following are the pictures:

Sword : Pain Hard

Mask: Bro's Easy

Cane: Bro's Normal

Gourd: Bro's Hard (Already available in 3.0, so most people have several gourds already)

Which ninja tools to reforge

I will make have a comparison of old or*e tool with new red tools:

As you can see from above, all new red tools have 10+ increase in base stats compare to the old orange tools, so you want to use them instead of orange ones. and try to not reforge the 4 old ones, mask, cane, fan, etc. Since you will replace them once you get the new ones.

But the rest orange ninja tools will stay the same for a while in 4.0, so you might want to reforge the them.

However, with the new FiveKages TI coming in CN server, there is one more red ninja tool added to CN server: Six-path necklace,

So you might not want to reforge Golden Rope right now, and wait for Six-path necklace.

When to reforge ninja tools

You want to start reforging when you can't level up your ninja tools with only 6 ninja tools. So when your ninja tools are about lvl 14 to 15.

How to reforge ninja tools

And always reforge using 6 tools as offerings, so 100% success rate, you don't want to waste Tool Essence, since they can only be obtained in Ultimate Training so far.

Moreover, you want to add new stat to the tools with empty stats first,

You want to add primary stats over secondary stats. So attack, nin, life, def and res first, then crit, combo etc,

However, after some discussion with Achroma a while back, the stats on Ninja Tools are not necessary for power, so primary stats might give more power in this case, but it is more beneficial to reforge element resistances on Ninja Tools.

So in the end, you want to get get a Ninja Tool like following:
So 10 Ninja tools would give 20% element resistance for all elements, which are quite important for higher level battles.

However, for the players who started playing in 1.0. they have ninja tools with better golden stats, so it might not helpful to reforge those.
