Nord Spear is the spear of the Deep North. Its quick thrust deals 170 pierce, and a throw deals half as much again. Instead of crafting it outright at a forge, you pour a cast around a mould found in the biome and then harden it in a Frost Foundry.
How to Craft
You make it in a Frost Foundry from:
- 1x Cast: Nord Spear: poured at a level 4 Black Forge from Bloodgold, Timberwood and its mould.
- 5x Liquid Frost: frozen down from Ice in a Frigid Kiln.

Mould
You find the Mould: Nord Spear in the Deep North:
- It drops from the trash piles you smash in the Winding Tunnels.
- It lies in the buried chests at Memorial Sites.
- It sits on the weapon stands on the last floor of Mörkhalla.
- It turns up in the barrels of Abandoned Villages.
When to Use It
This is end-game gear: you can only progress through the Deep North once Fader is dead.
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, but it needs a level 7 Black Forge, above the forge's current maximum of 6, so that row is not yet available.

| 3 | Black Forge (Level 6) | 190 | 500 |

Properties
The primary attack is a quick thrust. The secondary 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 parries at 2x.
It gives -5% movement speed while it is in your hands.
At quality 1 it deals 170 pierce damage, 170 in all. Splitnir the Primal and Splitnir the Storming, jointly the hardest-hitting weapons of their kind before the Deep North, deal 145 at quality 1, so the Nord Spear hits 17% harder. Each upgrade adds 10 pierce, which takes it to 190 pierce, 190 in all, at quality 3.
A primary attack costs 16 stamina and the secondary costs 18. Its hits knock enemies back with a force of 20.
It weighs 1.5 and has 400 durability, rising to 500 at quality 3.
It blocks with 66 armour, or 132 on a well-timed parry at 2x. Blocking a melee attack knocks the attacker back with a block force of up to 20.
Against the creatures of the Deep North, pierce deals full damage to Elakings, the Eyeless One, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Hexen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Moose. It deals reduced damage to Barka, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, Skeletons, Krigen, Shapeless and Tiny Pulps and Kall Fimbulbringer.
Because quality 4 needs a level 7 Black Forge, above the forge's current maximum of 6, it stops at quality 3 in practice.
Crafting it from scratch and taking it to quality 3 costs 50 Bloodgold and 25 Timberwood, plus a mould and 5 Liquid Frost.
Notes
- Reforging it into the Frostfire Spear or Thunderblood Spear resets it to quality 1, so add the essence first and spend upgrade materials afterwards.
- Once it is fully upgraded, the Forge of Potential can upgrade it further with a Bloodgold Battle Idol.
