Knighthood: How to Forge Weapons for Mythic Sacrifices

To craft the specific Legendary and Unique weapons required for Mythic sacrifices at the Lady of the Lake, combine identical weapon types in the Dwarven Foundry. Using 100 percent of a single weapon class—such as all Swords, all Axes, or all Hammers—eliminates random generation and guarantees that the higher-rarity output remains in that exact class.

Dwarven Foundry Crafting Rules

The Dwarven Foundry determines the resulting weapon class strictly from the items placed into the recipe. Each input slot provides an equal percentage share toward the output type.

• Uniform Recipes (100% Match): Submitting all weapons of the same class guarantees an upgraded weapon of that same class. Combining four Hammers guarantees a Hammer at the next rarity tier.
• Split Recipes (Mixed Inputs): Submitting different weapon classes divides the outcome by slot count. For example, submitting three Hammers and one Axe creates a 75 percent chance of a Hammer and a 25 percent chance of an Axe.

Because Mythic unlocks require specific weapon categories at the Lady of the Lake shrine, introducing mixed inputs risks producing an unusable weapon type and wasting accumulated materials.

Tier-by-Tier Forging Strategy

Building a Unique weapon requires advancing materials through multiple rarity tiers. Focus on unlocking one Mythic weapon at a time to prevent your inventory from filling with mismatched pieces.

1. Common and Fine: Group identical weapon types together. Use them as early building blocks rather than combining mixed weapons.
2. Rare: Wait until you collect full sets of matching Rare weapons. Roaming Monsters and regular chests provide enough Rare gear that taking a 25 percent or 50 percent gamble on mixed inputs is an unnecessary setback.
3. Epic: Never forge mixed Epic weapons. Epic gear requires substantial gold and time investment, and missing your targeted Legendary weapon delays your Mythic unlock significantly.
4. Legendary: Combine four matching Legendaries only when you are ready to produce the specific Unique piece needed for your current Lady of the Lake milestone.

Forging Mistakes to Avoid

• Dismantling sacrifice candidates: Do not dismantle Rare, Epic, or Legendary weapons for charms until you confirm that the Lady of the Lake does not require them for an upcoming Mythic milestone.
• Leveling forge fodder: The Dwarven Foundry only checks gear rarity and weapon type. Weapon level does not affect the forge outcome, and invested upgrade stones, tellurite, volcanite, and gold do not carry over to the crafted item.
• Clearing backpack space through random forging: If your inventory is full, do not combine mismatched items just to free up slots. Expand backpack storage with gems or leave reward equipment in your mailbox until you have matching sets.

Gathering Weapon Fodder

To maintain steady crafting progression without stalling your gold reserves, target equipment through these primary activities:

• Roaming Monsters: Review bonus objectives before starting a fight. Focus on monsters that reward equipment chests or weapon types aligned with your current crafting goal.
• Bounty Board: Use daily refreshes to seek out bounties that directly reward Rare or Epic weapons, bypassing the lowest crafting tiers.
• Arena and Guild Shops: Spend earned crests and guild accolades on equipment chests and targeted shop gear instead of hoarding currency.
• The Rift: Clear Rift stages to secure high-rarity drops, which provide the bulk of the high-tier fodder needed to forge and tune Mythic equipment.
