  21. Here will be a VERY large force of Battery Defenders, Battery Shield Walls, Bitter Spirits, Wraiths, and Battery Sirens.

  35. White ForgeHere is the White Forge, which is the focus of The White Forge quest. You can insert both Adra Spheres and the Adra Disc into it during a scripted interaction. Doing so will cause several constructs named Forged Guardians to attack, led by the Fragment of Exandru, the Fragment of Marunn, and the Fragment of Zoltun. Take out Zoltun, since he's the lone spellcaster, and the fight will become significantly easier. Also, position your tanks in a circle around your squishier characters, since the enemies will come in from all sides and are capable of significant damage with each hit. If you succeed, you can loot numerous instances of the following items:
  36. These stairs here lead to the exterior of Durgan's Battery at #36.

  37. Once you've re-activated the White Forge and defeated the Forge Guardians, you can click on this large Adra cone, which will prompt an extended dialogue with the spirits of Exandru, Marunn and Zoltun. Benevolent, Cruel, Clever, Diplomatic, Passionate, Stoic and Rational responses are possible at various points during the conversation. Lore checks of 5, Intellect checks of 16, and the Clergyman and Drifter backgrounds, can also help reveal additional details during the conversation.

    The conversation ends with three possible choices:

    • Free the spirits to rejoin with the Great Wheel and become subject to new lives through reincarnation
    • Bind the spirits to the cannons of the Battery
    • Bind the spirits to the White Forge itself

    Once you've made your choice, you can click on the Adra cone to have the White Forge meld Durgan Iron Ingots together into a Refined Durgan Iron Ingot. If you freed the spirits of the Battery, or bound them to the cannon, then it takes four Durgan Iron Ingots to craft a Refined Durgan Iron Ingot. If you bound the spirits of the Battery to the White Forge itself, then it only takes three Durgan Iron Ingots to craft a Refined Durgan Iron Ingot. Note that there are no disposition consequences for any choice you make, so binding the spirits to the Forge is the only choice that makes any practical sense.

    Refined Durgan Iron Ingots can be used to enhance armors, weapons and shields. The benefits are as follows:

    • Weapons - +15% Attack Speed, +0.3 Critical Modifier, 20% of Hits converted to Critical Hits. *Note* Two-handed weapons require two Refined Durgan Iron Ingots for the upgrade.
    • Armors - 15% of incoming Critical Hits converted to Hits, -15% Armor Speed Penalty
    • Shields - 10% of ranged attacks reflected back at attacker, 15% of incoming Hits converted to Grazes, -15% single weapon Speed Penalty
