How to Unlock Frostspire Expanse in The Forge Winter Expansion

Frostspire Expanse (Island 3) is the main destination for anyone looking to experience the best new content in The Forge Winter Expansion. It’s packed with rare ores, powerful gear, and some of the toughest enemies in the game: but you need to meet specific requirements before you can get inside.

First things first:

• You must reach level 70 to access Frostspire Expanse.
• Unlock the portal tool by completing early quests on Island 1.
• Once you’re level 70 and have the portal, select Frostspire Expanse and step through.

You need level 70 and the portal tool before you can enter

Getting to Frostspire Expanse is all about hitting level 70. This is the minimum level required to unlock the portal to Island 3. Until you reach this milestone, the area stays locked. Focus on leveling up by stacking main quests, fighting enemies, and mining ores. Equipping the Experience Master skill from the Achievements tab can boost your XP by up to 30%, making the grind much faster. Try to work on multiple quests at once to maximize your progress.

Once you’re level 70, make sure you’ve unlocked the portal tool. This comes from completing early quests on Island 1: look for the question mark quest markers. Without the portal tool, you can’t travel to Frostspire Expanse, so don’t skip those early objectives.

How to use the portal and get to Frostspire Expanse

After you have both level 70 and the portal tool, entering Frostspire Expanse is simple:

1. Open your portal tool from your inventory.
2. Choose Frostspire Expanse (Island 3) as your destination.
3. Step through the portal to arrive in the new area.

No extra keys or event items are needed: just the portal and the right level.

What you’ll find in Frostspire Expanse

Frostspire Expanse is loaded with new content that changes how you play The Forge:

• Spears: These unlock at level 70 and can be crafted using 16 ores (including legendary ores like Magmaite, Eye Ore, Fireite, and new Frostspire ores) plus special runes such as Blast Chip or Drain Edge. Using exactly 16 ores gives you about a 69% success rate; using more can boost trait strength but lowers your odds.
• Frozen Webs: Fight crystal spiders (including diamond and prismatic types) to collect essence and frost/chill runes.
• Ice Cave: Battle Orcs, Elite Orcs, Yetis, and Ice Golems for legendary essence, XP, and rare runes.
• Christmas Store: Near the spawn, find the Santa NPC on or near the ship. Exchange XMas Tickets for exclusive items like pickaxes and potions. You earn XMas Tickets by completing daily Holiday Tasks in Frostspire Expanse. For a full breakdown, check the XMas Tickets guide.
• Rare ores: Mine new ores with unique traits to craft some of the strongest gear in the game.
