Thunderforged is a new sub-type of raid item drop quality introduced with Patch 5.2 in the Throne of Thunder raid similar to the Elite and Heroic Elite items. Each Patch 5.2 raid boss will have a chance of dropping this new designation of a particular item that's 6 item levels higher than their counterparts.^[1] Thunderforged items will drop more frequently in 25-player raids.^[1] Tier 15 armor pieces won't be available in Thunderforged quality at all.^[1]

There may actually be separate tiers for 10-man and 25-man like for Elite and Heroic Elite items, but that has not been announced so far.

Example item levels

• LFR quality at item level 502.
• Normal mode quality at item level 522.
• Normal mode Thunderforged quality at item level 528.
• Heroic mode quality of the item at level 535.
• Heroic mode Thunderforged version of the item at level 541.
