{{Stub/Item}}
'''Thunderforged''' (and "Heroic 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 item|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.<ref name="bluepost">{{ref web|work=Official Community &gt; General Discussion forum (US)|url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7709282055#1|title=#1 - 10- &amp; 25-Player Raid Loot Changes – Patch 5.2|author={{blizz}} [[Crithto]]|date=}}</ref> Thunderforged items will drop more frequently in 25-player raids.<ref name="bluepost" /> [[Tier 15]] armor pieces won't be available in Thunderforged quality at all.<ref name="bluepost" />

All these items will also have 2 [[Upgrade level]]s to +4 (532/545) and +8 (536/549) item levels higher.

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