Frostmere
Zone Calm / No PvP
Connected to Whisperwood (north return)
Notable features Metal ore nodes, snow-capped trees, Grimjaw, blacksmith forge cottage
Entry requirement Minimum average skill level 20

Frostmere is a snowy calm zone south of Whisperwood. It is the main place for mining Metal and forging Lvl 2 tools through Smithing. Unlike the Wilderness, Frostmere does not contain stone or coal nodes. Its mining route is focused on metal ore.

What's Here

Feature Use
Metal ore nodes Mine Metal for Smithing recipes.
Blacksmith Forge Forge Lvl 2 tools and weapons.
Grimjaw Blacksmith NPC who handles tool and weapon upgrades.
Snowy forest Calm level-gated area with no PvP.

Entry Requirement

Frostmere requires a minimum Total Level of 20.

Requirement Notes
Total Level 20 Based on the five core skills. Smithing does not count toward Total Level.
Route Enter from Whisperwood.

Mining

Frostmere has Metal ore nodes for mining. Metal is also found in the Wilderness alongside Stone and Coal nodes — Frostmere is an alternative calm-zone source with no PvP risk.

Action Location Skill Result
Mine metal ore nodes Frostmere (calm, no PvP) Mining Metal
Mine metal ore nodes Wilderness (PvP zone) Mining Metal

Smithing

Smithing is done at the Blacksmith Forge by Grimjaw (also available at Harun in Dunes West). Forging takes approximately 30 seconds, with roughly a 60-second cooldown between smiths. No base tool is consumed — every tier is craftable from scratch.

Smelting

Ingot Cost Smithing XP
Copper Ingot ×10 100 Stone + 50 Coal 100 XP
Iron Ingot ×10 60 Iron Ore + 60 Coal 220 XP
Silver Ingot ×10 40 Silver Ore + 80 Coal 450 XP

Iron ore requires Mining 5, Silver ore requires Mining 20.

Tips

  • Bring Wood and Coal from the Wilderness before making tool upgrades — Frostmere doesn't have those nodes.
  • Mine Metal here safely with no PvP risk, then use the forge to upgrade tools in the same trip.
  • Smithing gives 750 XP per forge — one of the highest XP rates per action in the game, though it does not count toward Total Level.
  • Upgrade Axe and Pickaxe first — doubled gathering yield means every future resource trip is twice as efficient.
