Refinement of Craft
Refinement of Craft is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Weaponsmith merchant, part of the The Path of the Craftsman quest line. Forging ordinary weapons is not particularly difficult. But producing an exceptional weapon is an entirely different matter. The strength and balance a fine weapon must possess can never be fully learned by study alone. So if you bring me weapons that are a step above the last batch, I will use them as the basis to craft an even finer piece. The objective is to bring 3× weapon (epic). All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Weaponsmith in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Teachings of Arms before it becomes available from Weaponsmith. Completing Refinement of Craft rewards Random Legendary Weapon, 50 Gold. The quest is completed in Ice Cavern, Goblin Caves, Ruins or Ship Graveyard. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Weaponsmith quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The The Path of the Craftsman chain provides a structured progression path through the Weaponsmith quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
