Location

Quests

Learning How to Conjure Bluefyre

Players talked to the Kevin NPC at Hogsworth and then travelled to Dormunstrad. Players would then talk to Dragonmir, the Headmaster of Dormustrad, who was located in the school’s Great Hall. Dragonmir explained that the cursed ice had frozen their Great Hall, the library, and the dormitories of their three houses: Ulv, Elg, and Fugl. Dragonmir told the player that the only way to unfreeze these locations was through forging Bluefyre, which could be made by obtaining 3 different materials. Players had to first collect [1 Bells of Dormunstrad] which was located outside of the Dormunstrad castle. Then, they had to collect [1 Cursed Ice Shards] from the cursed ice located around the school grounds. Lastly, players collected [1 Bluefyre Ashes] from fiend fyres also found around the school grounds. After collecting these materials and by having enough Holiday Spirit, which was earned through completing event gameplay, players could forge Bluefyre. Bluefyre was forged by putting each material into their respective pedestal. Players would then return to Dragonmir, completing the quest.
