Frostfire Essence is somehow both hot and cold to the touch, and it turns a Nord weapon into its Frostfire version. You reforge it at a level 4 Black Forge with the Nord weapon and twenty Bloodgold. The weapon gives up part of its main damage and gains fire and frost, for more damage in total: the Frostfire Sword deals 238 against the Nord Sword's 170. The essence is also cast into the Echo Spike, the blood magic staff whose bolt burns and freezes. It weighs half a unit and stacks to 50.
How to Get It
Both essences come from the same fight. You call up a Fallen Warrior by laying three Memorial Coal on the ancient altar of a Memorial Site, a field of headstones found between 2 and 1,000 metres up in the Deep North, with up to fifteen in a world. It is an undead warrior with a random name and 750 health, and it comes armed as one of these builds: a bronze-armoured axeman, a knife fighter with Skoll and Hati, a lightning mage with Dundr, a Crystal Battleaxe wielder, a sword and shield fighter, an archer with a knife, or a fire mage with a Staff of Embers. It is weak to spirit, resists blunt, slash, pierce and fire, and ignores poison.
Each essence has a one in two chance to drop, and the two rolls are separate, so a warrior can leave both, one or neither. On average, one essence of a kind costs two fights and six Memorial Coal.
Notes
- Frostfire and Thunderblood are alternatives: a Nord weapon takes one essence or the other, never both.
Frostfire Essence Crafting Recipes
One essence makes the Frostfire weapon, and the upgrades take one and then two more. That is four essences for a Frostfire weapon at quality 3, the most a level 6 Black Forge allows, or eight Fallen Warriors on average. The Echo Spike costs the same four at quality 3, the Galdr Table's limit. Reforging starts the weapon again at quality 1, so upgrading the Nord weapon first wastes its Bloodgold.
Most of the Deep North's own creatures resist frost. The Barka, Elakings, the Eyeless One, Gammeltrolls and Moose all cut it, and Krigen and Hexen barely feel it. The fire half does better, since Barka, Elakings, Hexen, Moose and the biome's Greydwarves are all weak to fire. Frost also slows whatever it hits.
