Armor Prefix

The Split Mod adds a new forging mechanic to the game, Armor Tinkering, which gives es with varying stats. They can be obtained upon crafting the armor or by having it re-forged by Vulcan in the Underworld Domain.

Not all prefixes are unlocked by default, e.g. certain 'bad' modifiers won't roll unless you are in hardmode. There are different prefixes for certain armor pieces and those that apply to any of them.

Reforging armor costs 85% of base item value, and prefixes can modify the item price depending on quality of modifiers.

Upon opening Goblin Tinkerers reforging menu, additional text shows in armors tooltips, saying: "Perhaps someone else may be able to reforge this..."

Generic Modifiers
These modifiers can be applied to any armor piece meeting its conditions and generally provide defense boosts or reductions.
