Table: Complete overview of all available blueprints in The Forge as of March 2026

What Are Blueprints in The Forge?

Blueprints are special unlockable recipes that permanently add new weapons to your forging pool. Unlike regular weapons that appear randomly during crafting, blueprint weapons offer unique advantages:

Exclusive Access: These weapons cannot be crafted unless you own the blueprint
Enhanced Stats: When forged with high-tier ores, they outperform most standard weapons
Permanent Unlocks: Once purchased, blueprints remain in your collection forever
Special Crafting Chances: Each blueprint weapon has specific crafting probabilities

Currently, blueprints are weapon-only – no armor blueprints exist in the game yet, though players have reported hints about potential armor blueprints like Wolf Armour dropping from bosses.

Complete Blueprint Breakdown

Hell Slayer Blueprint

The Hell Slayer is the more accessible of the two blueprints, offering excellent value for its cost:

Base Damage: 10
Attack Speed: 0.59
Range: 8 studs
Crafting Chance: 1 in 10
Cost: 200 XMas Tickets

Why It’s Worth Getting: At just 200 tickets, Hell Slayer is incredibly affordable. Even if you don’t use it immediately, it’s worth having for collection purposes. When crafted with rare ores like Gargantuan or Heavenite, this sword becomes a mid-to-late-game powerhouse.

Candy Cane Blueprint

The Candy Cane is the premium blueprint with unique characteristics:

Base Damage: 7.5
Attack Speed: 0.44 (faster than Hell Slayer)
Range: 8 studs
Crafting Chance: 1 in 8 (better odds than Hell Slayer)
Cost: 1,200 XMas Tickets

Why It’s Worth Getting: Despite lower base damage, the Candy Cane’s faster attack speed and better crafting chance make it ideal for speed-focused builds. It’s particularly effective when paired with attack speed-boosting ores and runes.

How to Get Blueprints: Step-by-Step Guide

Prerequisites

Before you can access blueprints, you’ll need:

Level 70 (required to access Frostpire Expanse)
Portal Tool (for fast travel)
Basic understanding of The Forge’s crafting system

Step 1: Reach Frostpire Expanse Island

Frostpire Expanse is Island 3 in The Forge and serves as the hub for the Winter Update content. To get there:

Open your Portal Tool
Select Frostpire Expanse from the destination list
Confirm travel (requires level 70)

Step 2: Locate Santa’s Christmas Shop

Once you arrive at Frostpire Expanse:

Head to the large boat near the spawn point
Look for Santa NPC sitting on his chair (hard to miss!)
Interact with Santa to open his Christmas Shop

The shop is only available during the Christmas event, so timing is crucial!

Step 3: Farm XMas Tickets

XMas Tickets are the exclusive currency for blueprints. Here’s how to maximize your ticket income:

Daily Holiday Tasks (Primary Method):

Santa offers 3 Holiday Tasks per day
Tasks reset every 24 hours
Completing all three tasks rewards a substantial amount of tickets
Tasks vary but typically involve mining, combat, or exploration objectives

Pro Tips for Ticket Farming:

Log in daily to maximize task completion
Focus on tasks that align with your current activities
Save tickets for blueprints before spending on other shop items
The event runs for 14 days (December 25 – January 7, 2026), so plan accordingly

Step 4: Purchase Your Blueprints

Once you have enough tickets:

Talk to Santa and open the Christmas Shop
Navigate to the blueprints section
Purchase Hell Slayer for 200 tickets (start with this one)
Save up for Candy Cane at 1,200 tickets

Total Cost: 1,400 XMas Tickets for both blueprints

How to Use Blueprints Effectively

Unlocking Process

The good news is that using blueprints is incredibly straightforward:

Purchase the blueprint from Santa’s shop
The recipe automatically unlocks in your forging system
Visit any forge location in the game
The new weapon recipes appear in your crafting menu

Crafting Strategy

Crafting blueprint weapons requires the right approach:

Understanding Crafting Chances:

Hell Slayer: 1 in 10 chance per forge attempt
Candy Cane: 1 in 8 chance per forge attempt
These chances are base probabilities – actual results depend on ore combinations

Best Ore Combinations: Based on my testing, here are the optimal ore setups:

Blueprint	Primary Ore	Secondary Ore	Success Rate
Hell Slayer	Gargantuan (25x)	Heavenite (20x)	~35%
Candy Cane	Suryafal (15x)	Crimsonite (12x)	~28%

Table: Recommended ore combinations for blueprint crafting

Advanced Crafting Tips:

Use ore traits that complement the weapon’s strengths
Consider runes that boost damage or attack speed
Save your rarest ores specifically for blueprint weapons
Don’t get discouraged by failed attempts – persistence pays off

Are Blueprint Weapons Worth It?

This is the question every player asks, and the answer depends on your goals:

For Collectionists

Absolutely! Blueprint weapons are:

Limited-time exclusives (may not return after the event)
Permanent unlocks once purchased
Showcase pieces for your account

For Min-Maxers

Yes, but with conditions:

Mid-game power: Excellent when paired with good ores
Late-game viability: Can compete with top-tier weapons when optimally crafted
Build flexibility: Offer unique stat combinations

For Casual Players

Maybe consider:

Hell Slayer: Definitely worth the 200 ticket investment
Candy Cane: Only if you’re actively playing during the event

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Based on community feedback and personal experience, here are the biggest mistakes players make:

1. Waiting Too Long

The Christmas event ends on January 7, 2026. Don’t assume blueprints will return later – they might not!

2. Poor Resource Management

Don’t spend XMas Tickets on minor shop items
Save your best ores specifically for blueprint crafting
Plan your ticket farming around your play schedule

3. Ignoring Ore Traits

Many players forget that ore traits can dramatically affect blueprint weapon performance. Research trait combinations before crafting.

4. Single-Attempt Crafting

Don’t expect to craft perfect blueprint weapons on the first try. Plan for multiple attempts and save resources accordingly.

Future Blueprint Possibilities

While only two blueprints exist currently, the community has discovered hints about potential future additions:

Rumored Blueprints

Wolf Armour: Mentioned in player reports as a possible boss drop
Weapon Variants: Other weapon types may receive blueprint versions
Event-Exclusive Recipes: Future events may introduce new blueprints

Frequently Asked Questions

How many blueprints are in The Forge?

Currently, there are two blueprints available: Hell Slayer and Candy Cane. Both are Straight Sword weapons obtained from Santa’s Christmas Shop.

Are there armor blueprints?

No. As of March 2026, blueprints are weapon-only. However, players have reported hints about potential armor blueprints like Wolf Armour, though nothing is confirmed.

Can I buy blueprints after the event ends?

No, blueprints are only available during the Christmas event (December 25 – January 7, 2026). After that, Santa’s shop disappears, and there’s no guarantee blueprints will return.

Start with Hell Slayer (200 tickets). It’s much more affordable and provides excellent value. Once you have it, save up for Candy Cane if you’re still actively playing.

Do blueprint weapons work with all ores?
