Modifiers

A Modifier applies changes to an item's statistics (for instance, adding damage to a Weapon). All Weapons and Accessories have Modifiers applied at random when they are crafted, bought from an NPC, spawn in Chests, or are picked up from drops; though one possible Modifier is no Modifier at all, which has an equal chance of being applied.

A Modifier changes the name of an item by adding a prefix, such as "Adept", "Godly", or "Broken" (eg. "Broken Iron Hammer"). A complete list of all 112 of these appears below. Hovering the cursor over an item with a Modifier in an Inventory slot will show the modification details beneath the item's description.

An item's Modifier can be switched via the Goblin Tinkerer's Reforge function. Reforging allows the player to trade an item's current buy value in coins for a new random Modifier.


 * Accessory modifiers will grant a bonus to one of the player's stats, such as defense, movement speed, or maximum Mana. It is applied as long as the accessory is equipped.
 * Weapon modifiers alter the statistics of that particular weapon, and may be positive or negative, with up to 5 positive or 3 negative effects at once. Tools that act as Weapons, such as Pickaxes and Hammers, may also have these Modifiers.

Accessory Modifiers
Accessory modifiers are active when equipped. Every accessory item can be reforged with the exception of Guide Voodoo Doll and all Music Boxes. Accessories can have one of the following modifiers attached to them:

Weapon Modifiers
These modifiers only apply when the weapon is being used. Weapons that have no Knockback cannot be reforged with modifiers that change Knockback, such as Drills, Magical Harp and others.

The Light Disc cannot have modifiers.

Universal
Flails, Spears, Boomerangs (except for the Light Disc), Chainsaws and Drills (including the Hamdrax) can only have universal prefixes, because they can't have their speed modified.

The best prefix for a Drill is Demonic (as they have no knockback), except for the Hamdrax, whose best prefix is Godly (since it has knockback).

Universal modifiers can also be found on all other weapon types. The best universal prefix is Godly.

Weapons

Here is an easy rundown of the best possible Modifiers for each weapon, or weapon type:
