Who Is Ice Man in The Forge?

Ice Man is a mysterious NPC quest giver located in the Frostspire Expanse, the third island area that becomes accessible once you reach higher levels. Despite his icy surroundings, Irony abounds – this frosty character needs materials from the hottest regions of the game!

NPC Details:

  • Name: Ice Man
  • Role: Quest Giver
  • Location: Frostspire Expanse (near the entrance)
  • Quest Type: One-time story quest
  • Importance: Unlocks launcher for fast Peak access

Many players miss Ice Man entirely or struggle with his quest because the required materials spawn in a completely different biome than where you find him. This is one of those quests that seems simple on the surface but requires significant preparation and knowledge of the game’s geography.

Ice Man Quest Requirements & Prerequisites

Before you can even think about completing Ice Man’s mission, you’ll need to meet several requirements and gather specific materials. Here’s everything you need:

Required Materials:

  • 1x Demonite (Mythic rarity ore)
  • 3x Fireite (Legendary rarity ore)
  • 5x Magmaite (Legendary rarity ore)

Prerequisites:

  • Level 10 (minimum to access Forgotten Kingdom)
  • Forgotten Kingdom access (complete tutorial quests)
  • 100+ damage pickaxe (Lightite Pickaxe recommended)
  • Decent combat gear (Volcanic Depths has dangerous enemies)
  • Luck-boosting items (highly recommended for rare ores)

Equipment Recommendations:

  • Pickaxe: Lightite Pickaxe ($98,500, $86,680 for Goblins)
  • Armor: Heavy loadout for protection
  • Consumables: Luck Potions, Health Potions
  • Runes: Miner Shard with Luck trait

Where to Find Demonite, Fireite, and Magmaite?

This is where most players get confused! The required ores do NOT spawn in Frostspire Expanse where Ice Man is located. Instead, you must travel to the Volcanic Depths in the Forgotten Kingdom.

Volcanic Depths Location:

  1. Enter the Ruined Cave in Forgotten Kingdom
  2. Follow the right wall past the “DANGER” sign
  3. Find NPC named Amber
  4. Look for a hole with two Basalt Veins southwest of Amber
  5. Drop into the hole to reach Volcanic Depths

Ore Drop Rates and Values:

MagmaiteLegendary1/3,003$75.005.0x
DemoniteMythic1/3,666$82.505.5x

Important Note: All three ores can only be found in Volcanic Rocks within the Volcanic Depths area. These rocks have distinctive orange/red coloring and are much tougher than regular rocks.
