@jpalmer999 While I do agree that later levels get painful to get extracts, you don't have to get only 20xp per reforge.
The xp you get is equal to the item level of the item you're reforging. So if you're reforging insignias, you's only get 20 xp, becauss that's what their ilvl is. A good practice when you're reforging for xp is to get the highest ilvl item you can get your hands on and keep it only for reforing purposes (you can get cheap 130+ ilvl items for 30ish gold on ah most of the time). That way you'd get 130 xp per reforge, which is a tad bit better than 20 😄
