The Forge Bjorn Quest Guide: Complete Walkthrough

Getting Started with Bjorn

Before you jump into Bjorn’s quests, make sure you’re properly prepared. Frostspire Expanse is no joke compared to previous islands – enemies hit significantly harder, and you’ll need solid gear to survive.

Prerequisites:

  • Reach Level 70
  • Access the Frostfire Expanse portal
  • Have at least decent combat gear (recommended: Iron+ tier)
  • Bring healing potions for tough fights

Finding Bjorn: Once you teleport to Island 3, head straight from the spawn point toward the village area. You’ll find Bjorn standing right in front of a hut – he’s hard to miss with his distinctive Viking appearance and quest marker above his head.

Complete Bjorn Quest List & Objectives

Here’s every quest in Bjorn’s linear progression chain, complete with pro tips and optimization strategies:

Phase 1: Introduction Quests

1. Getting to Island 3

  • Objective: Talk to Bjorn
  • Tips: This is just an introduction quest. Take time to explore the village and get familiar with the layout before proceeding.

2. Getting to Know Around

  • Objective: Kill Crystal Spiders
  • Location: Icy caves and mines throughout Frostspire Expanse
  • Pro Tips: Crystal Spiders have 600-720 HP and deal 55 damage. They’re common spawns, so this quest goes quickly. Focus on the caves near the village for fastest completion.

Phase 2: Mining & Collection

3. Bjorn’s Orders

  • Objective: Talk to Sensei Moro
  • Tips: This is a progression gate quest. Sensei Moro is located at the forge area in Frostspire Expanse.

4. Lessons in the Cold

  • Objectives:
    • Collect Tungsten
    • Collect Sulfur
    • Mine Icy Pebbles
  • Strategy: Follow the mining routes around Frostspire Expanse. These materials spawn in predictable patterns, so learn the efficient routes early. You’ll need 320 base mining damage to access everything on Island 3.

Phase 3: Spider Combat

5. Threads of the North

  • Objectives:
    • Kill Crystal Spiders
    • Kill Diamond Spiders
  • Challenge: Diamond Spiders spawn deeper in caves and have 1,000-1,300 HP with 70 damage
  • Strategy: Clear caves completely rather than just running through. Diamond Spiders have better drop rates for valuable materials.

Phase 4: Advanced Combat

6. Steel Against the Cold

  • Objectives:
    • Kill Prismarine Spiders
    • Kill Common Orcs
  • Warning: Prismarine Spiders are tough with 7,500-11,500 HP and 90 damage
  • Location: Prismarine Spiders spawn in specific icy cave sections, while Orcs appear in surface camps

7. Clearing the Warpath

  • Objective: Kill Common Orcs
  • Strategy: Target Orc camps with fast respawn rates. Common Orcs have 800-1,000 HP and deal 85 damage.

8. Breaking the Horde

  • Objectives:
    • Kill 15 Elite Orcs
    • Kill 35 Common Orcs
  • Challenge: Elite Orcs are much tougher with 2,000-2,200 HP and 100 damage
  • Pro Tip: Group pulls work well here. Use AoE abilities to handle multiple enemies simultaneously.

Phase 5: Elite Challenges

9. Wrath of the North

  • Objective: Kill 40 Elite Orcs
  • Strategy: This is one of the longest grinds. Focus exclusively on Elite Orc spawn zones for maximum efficiency.

10. Shattering the Front

  • Objectives:
    • Kill 15 Crystal Golems
    • Kill 25 Elite Orcs
  • Challenge: Crystal Golems are tanky with 3,000-4,000 HP and 125 damage
  • Build Recommendation: Skill damage builds perform much better than basic attacks here.

11. Wrath of Stone

  • Objective: Kill 30 Crystal Golems
  • Strategy: Another grind-heavy quest. Efficient farming routes between Crystal Golem spawn points are key.

Phase 6: Boss Battles

12. Beast of the Frozen Peak

  • Objectives:
    • Kill 1 Yeti
    • Kill 20 Crystal Golems
  • Boss Fight: The Yeti roams deep inside the Ice Crystal Cave on Island 3
  • Yeti Stats: 10,000-14,000 HP, 125 damage
  • Strategy: Clear surrounding mobs first, then focus on the Yeti. Consider bringing friends for this fight.

13. Last Stand of the North

  • Objectives:
    • Kill 40 Crystal Golems
    • Kill 50 Elite Orcs
    • Kill 3 Yeti
    • Kill 1 Golem
  • Final Challenge: This is the ultimate test of your progression
  • Recommendation: Best done with strong gear or a full group. The Golem boss fight is particularly challenging.

Optimal Pickaxe Progression for Bjorn Quests

While working through Bjorn’s quests, you’ll need to upgrade your pickaxe to access better materials. Here’s the most efficient path:

Recommended Progression:

  1. Skip early upgrades to save money
  2. Go straight to Snow Pickaxe (320 damage)
  3. Then upgrade to either:
    • Snow → Prismatic Pickaxe (2 million gold)
    • Snow → Void → Prismatic

Finding the Prismatic Pickaxe:

  1. Return to Bjorn
  2. Take the left path
  3. Drop into the hidden icy pool
  4. Mine the ice barrier (500,000 HP, requires 320 damage)

The Prismatic Pickaxe is currently the best pickaxe in the game and will future-proof your farming for upcoming updates.

Knowing your enemies is crucial for efficient questing. Here are the key enemies you’ll face:

Pro Strategies for Efficient Questing

Combat Optimization

  • AoE Builds are King: For grinding quests, skill-focused weapons outperform single-target setups
  • Learn Spawn Routes: Enemy spawn patterns are consistent – memorize the efficient farming paths
  • Group Up: For boss quests and Elite Orc farming, team up with other players

Resource Management

  • Healing Potions: Always carry healing items for tough fights
  • Repair Your Gear: Equipment durability matters in longer grinding sessions
  • Sell Smart: Forge common ores into items before selling for better profits

Time Management

  • Multi-task: Combine grinding quests with mining objectives when possible
  • Peak Hours: Play during busy times for easier group formation
  • Save Boss Quests: Complete Yeti and Golem quests when you have help available

Santa Quests: Don’t Miss These Bonus Objectives

While working on Bjorn’s quests, make sure to complete Santa NPC quests available near the starting area. These offer incredible value:

Santa Quest Rewards:

  • Limited-time Christmas items
  • XP Totems (free XP boosts!)
  • Rare blueprints
  • Candy Cane weapons and pickaxes
  • Race rerolls
  • Christmas Pickaxe with 72% luck boost

These quests refresh and can be multitasked alongside Bjorn’s progression quests, making them extremely efficient for overall progression.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

After completing Bjorn’s questline multiple times, here are the mistakes I see most players make:

  1. Underestimating Gear Requirements: Don’t attempt Island 3 with starter gear
  2. Ignoring Mining Progression: You’ll hit walls without proper pickaxe upgrades
  3. Going Solo on Boss Quests: Yeti and Golem fights are much easier with groups
  4. Wasting Money on Early Pickaxes: Save for the Snow Pickaxe directly
  5. Skipping Santa Quests: You’re missing out on massive XP and loot opportunities
  6. Not Learning Spawn Patterns: Efficient routing saves hours of grinding time
