The Craftman's Fault
The Craftman's Fault is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Weaponsmith merchant, part of the The Path of the Craftsman quest line. Adventurer, the time has come to take on a new tier. Drawing on the experience I have amassed, I intend to forge a weapon surpassing anything I have made so far. To complete it properly I require your aid. If you would procure for me several rare weapons not easily obtained, I shall present to you the fruit of my labour. The objective is to bring 3× weapon (legendary). 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 Refinement of Craft before it becomes available from Weaponsmith. Completing The Craftman's Fault rewards Random Unique Weapon, 100 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.
