Frostfire Spear is a Nord Spear reforged with a Frostfire Essence. It gives up 22 pierce in exchange for 88 frost and 12 fire, so it deals 248 damage in total against the Nord Spear's 170.
How to Craft
You craft it at a level 4 Black Forge from these materials:
- 1x Nord Spear: made by hardening a Cast: Nord Spear with Liquid Frost in a Frost Foundry.
- 20x Bloodgold: smelted from Petrified Tissue in a Blast Furnace.
- 1x Frostfire Essence: dropped by Fallen Warriors, which you call up at a Memorial Site with three Memorial Coal.

When to Use It
This is an end-game weapon. You need Fader dead before you can progress through the Deep North.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it twice at the Black Forge. Each step needs the station one level higher than the last: the first costs the per-level amount and the second costs twice that. Quality 4 would cost four times the per-level amount and needs a level 7 Black Forge, which is above the current maximum of 6, so that row is not yet available.

Properties
Its primary attack is a quick thrust. The secondary attack throws the spear for one and a half times the damage, and you have to pick it up again afterwards.
It blocks with 66 armour and has a 2x parry bonus.
Holding it lowers your movement speed by 5%.
At quality 1 it deals 148 pierce, 12 fire and 88 frost, for 248 damage in total. That is 71% more than Splitnir the Primal and Splitnir the Storming, which deal 145 at quality 1 and are the joint hardest-hitting weapons of their kind before the Deep North. Each upgrade adds 10 pierce, 3 fire and 3 frost. At quality 3 it reaches 168 pierce, 18 fire and 94 frost, or 280 in total.
A primary attack costs 16 stamina and the secondary costs 18. Its hits have a knockback force of 20.
It weighs 1.5 and has 400 durability, rising to 500 at quality 3.
Blocking gives you 66 armour, or 132 on a well-timed parry at 2x. Blocking a melee attack also knocks the attacker back with a block force of up to 20.
Against Deep North creatures, its three damage types land differently. Pierce deals full damage to Elakings, the Eyeless One, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Hexen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Moose, and reduced damage to Barka, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, Skeletons, Krigen, Shapeless and Tiny Pulps and Kall Fimbulbringer. Fire deals extra damage to Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Barka, Elakings, Skeletons, Hexen and Moose. It deals full damage to the Eyeless One, Krigen, Captive Fulings and Imprisoned Dvergr, reduced damage to Fallen Warriors, Shapeless and Tiny Pulps and Kall Fimbulbringer, and none at all to Gammeltrolls. Frost deals extra damage to Shapeless and Tiny Pulps. It deals full damage to Fallen Warriors, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Captive Fulings and Imprisoned Dvergr, and reduced damage to Barka, Elakings, the Eyeless One, Gammeltrolls, Skeletons, Moose, Kall Fimbulbringer, Hexen and Krigen.
Quality 4 needs a level 7 Black Forge, which is above the current maximum of 6, so in practice the spear stops at quality 3.
Crafting it from scratch and taking it to quality 3 costs 70 Bloodgold, 10 Timberwood and 4 Frostfire Essence in total, plus a mould and 5 Liquid Frost.
Notes
- The essence drops from Fallen Warriors, which you call up at a Memorial Site with three Memorial Coal.
- Once it reaches its last quality level, the Forge of Potential can push it further with a Bloodgold Battle Idol.
