Dynasty Warriors Origins How to Reforge Weapons

Reforge a weapon by using a duplicate of the same weapon to upgrade its power in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. See how to upgrade a weapon by reforging power and traits, how to unlock the Deadly Perfection achievement, and how to unlock reforging in this guide!

How to Reforge Weapons

How to Reforge Weapons

Reforge Weapon Power

Reforging a weapon increases its Attack Power by transferring the Enhancement Power of a Secondary Weapon to your Primary Weapon, with an additional +1 boost. The same principle applies to the weapon's Enhancement Power.

Do note that all Secondary Weapons used will be permanently deleted to upgrade your Primary Weapon's Attack Power and Enhancement Power, so be sure to select a weapon with weak Traits.

Weapon Power Reforging Explanation

Weapons +1 ▶︎ Final Product
Chrimson Orchids +30 (Primary) + Chrimson Orchids +10 (Secondary) Chrimson Orchids +41
Attack Power
290
Enhancement Power
10
Attack Power
301

The Attack and Enhancement power added to your Primary Weapon is determined by the Enhancement Power—the "+(number)"—next to your Secondary Weapon's name, with an additional +1 boost.

For example, the Crimson Orchids Wheels with an Enhancement Power of +30 will end up with an Enhancement Power of +41 when reforged with a secondary weapon whose enhancement power is +10.

The Enhancement Power of 10 from your Secondary Weapon will also be added to your Primary Weapon's attack power of 290 plus 1, making its total attack power 301.

Weapons Can Only be Enhanced to +99

The maximum Enhancement Power a weapon can have is +99, and no more than that. Any excess Enhancement Power as a result of reforging will be lost.

Reforge Weapon Trait

Much like upgrading a weapon's power, you can reforge a weapon's Trait by taking two identical weapons and selecting a Trait from the Secondary Weapon you would like to transfer onto your Primary Weapon.

Do note that this method will permanently delete the Secondary Weapon and overwrite one of your Primary Weapon's Traits, so always make sure that you select the best possible Trait from your Secondary Weapon to replace a weaker Trait from your Primary Weapon.

What Does Reforging Weapons Do?
