Artifact Reforging
This chapter covers the pack’s soulbound artifact weapons — forged at S’kellak’s Forge from the Molten Core, each with a unique ability and its own Upgrade Tree. It’s endgame content: it requires completion of Chapter I of Void’s Invasion (the main story). See Gear Rarity & Reforging and the Simply Swords chapter (whose weapons feed several artifacts).
Getting started — S’kellak’s Forge
- The Molten Core is forged from the depths of Cinderstone’s volcano, Vaaz. With it you craft artifact weapons that are bound to your soul — only the forger can use them.
- Make a Hardening Catalyst / Hardening Crystal to make artifacts unbreakable, and use Encased Remnants to repair/reforge them.
The artifacts
Each is forged from the Molten Core plus specific components (mostly Simply Swords uniques + essences). Highlights:
| Artifact | Forged from | Theme |
|---|---|---|
| Frostmourne | Essence of Wrath + Awakened Lichblade | Soulfrost sword (WoW tribute) |
| Fyr’alath | two Molten Edges | Soulfire tanking weapon (WoW tribute) |
| A’zhar | Demonic Essence + Soulrender | Trapped-demon scythe (may betray you) |
| Supernova | Essence of Glory + Starforge | Astral, all-element damage |
| Fury of a Thousand Fists | Essence of Wrath + Fist of Fury | Soulfire martial-arts fists |
| Thunderwrath / Vaazkar | Demonic Essence + Thunderbrand | Molten lightning polearm |
| Ash’edar | Essence of Glory + Essence of Wrath (+ Essence of Ash’edar to unleash) | Astral Sun/Moon twin swords |
| Orion | Essence of Glory + Wizard Staff | Cosmic bow; evolves to 5 mage variants |
| Gh’aj | (eldritch dagger) | High haste at the cost of sanity |
| Apophis | (glory/oath hammer) | Paladin protection hammer |
There’s also a molten shield (symbol of the Living Statue of Vaaz).
Upgrade Trees
- Forging an artifact unlocks its Upgrade Tree — press N and click the Molten Core icon (top-left).
- Each tree has up to 7 nodes with branching paths. Unlock nodes by empowering the artifact with Molten Remnants (quest rewards, or craftable from Mythical Essences).
- Mastery — beat 10 Mythical Challenges with an artifact to complete its Mastery (an Eternal Challenge per weapon).
- Made a mistake in the skill tree? You can reset once for free:
/puffish_skills skills reset @s puffish_skills:frostmourne(swap the artifact id).
Endgame reward
Forging all artifact weapons and unlocking their Mastery grants the “Piece of Eternal Knowledge” (Eternal Knowledge: Of the Eternal Forge).

Anticipated questions
- Why can’t anyone else use my artifact? They’re soulbound to whoever forged them.
- How do I make them unbreakable? A Hardening Catalyst/Crystal; repair/reforge with Encased Remnants.
- Where do Molten Remnants come from? Quest/campaign rewards, or craft from Mythical Essences, to unlock Upgrade Tree nodes.
- I picked the wrong node. Use the free one-time reset command shown above.
