Much to Grimsight's dismay, a giant Turtle has collapsed under the awesome might of Keine Neuen. We were only trying to help him squeeze out of the cave! We are now 4/12 and progressing strongly thanks to the help of our newest recruits: Serrii, Khazrah, and Healwink.  Let's keep killing animals and get a Hyrda and a Bird down this next week!

When Pandaria separated from Kalimdor many thousands of years ago, a veil of mist kept outsiders from discovering the newly-formed continent. The mists also hid the site of an ancient evil: Lei Shen’s Throne of Thunder. During his rule, this fortress was the seat of the Thunder King’s power. Great swathes of corrupted energy lingered long after his death, and now, the resurrected Thunder King and the Zandalari trolls intend to harness that energy to reestablish Lei Shen’s reign.

Reforging, introduced in the Cataclysm expansion, allows undesired stats on gear to be exchanged for more useful stats. It allows 40% of a secondary stat, such as critical strike, dodge, haste, hit, parry rating, or spirit, to be exchanged for another secondary stat. Reforging is handled by NPCs known as Arcane Reforgers located in the major cities. The cost of reforging an item is equal to it's sale value. Stats can only be exchanged for other stats which are not already on the gear.

There are two very useful tools to help you determine which and how much of any secondary stat you should reforge - WoW Reforge and Mr. Robot.  Each of these utilities will also help you with gear optimization, gemming, enchanting, and determining your BiS items.
