The earliest you can use the Reforging Bench in Path of Exile 2 is once you recover the Smithing Tools for Renly. He’ll give you access to the Reforging Bench once you deliver the tools. You’ll also be able to use the Reforging Bench in other towns later in the game.

To use the Reforging Bench, interact with it. You’ll need to provide 3 items as a “sacrifice” of sorts. The 3 items need to have the same base name and be of the same rarity. For example, the screenshot above shows 3 Crumbling Mauls of Magic rarity.

Once they’re all set, click on the Reforge button. You’ll get a new random weapon that matches your 3 sacrificial items’ rarity and base name. Essentially, this lets you transform trash items into a similar one with new stats and modifiers. It can be a good way to recycle trash loot if you don’t feel like selling or dismantling it.

Lastly, keep in mind that you can’t use Corrupted Items for this. The Reforging Bench simply won’t let you do anything at all with them!

That’s all you need to know to use the Reforging Bench in Path of Exile 2. Whether it’s worth using it to recycle loot over selling and dismantling is ultimately up to you. It’s definitely useful if you simply want another variant of an item you already have 3 of, though!
