The Forge Winter Update introduces Island 3, Frostpire Expanse, opening the door to new weapons, enemies, and crafting options. While many players rush to test new gear, some quickly notice that a few Straight Sword variants are locked in the crafting menu.
If you are wondering how to unlock these missing recipes, this guide explains where the blueprints come from and what you need to do before the event ends. Also check out our Roblox The Forge Beginner Guide for those interested and the Race Tier List.
Straight Sword Recipes in the Winter Update
With Winter Expansion Part 1 now live, The Forge adds more than just a new island. Alongside the new Spear weapon type and its variants, the developers also introduced Maces, One-Handed Axes, and regular Axes. These weapons bring different playstyles and give players more choices in combat.
However, the update also expands older weapon categories. When players arrive on Island 3 and open the crafting menu, they may notice that some Straight Sword variants are unavailable. These locked entries are not bugs. They require special blueprints tied to the Christmas event.
Missing Straight Sword Blueprints Explained
The two locked Straight Sword recipes are:
- Hell Slayer
- Candy Cane
These weapons cannot be unlocked through normal progression or crafting. Instead, they are tied to limited-time blueprints available only during the Christmas event.
How to Unlock Straight Sword Missing Recipes
To unlock the Hell Slayer and Candy Cane Straight Swords, you must purchase their blueprints from Santa’s Christmas Shop. This shop is part of the Christmas Event, which begins on December 25 and runs for 14 days.
- Travel to Frostpire Expanse (Island 3)
- Go to the hub area and find Santa’s Shop, located on a boat
- Talk to Santa to accept his quests
- Complete Santa’s quests to earn Xmas Tickets
- Use Xmas Tickets to buy the Hell Slayer and Candy Cane blueprints
Once purchased, the blueprints instantly unlock the missing Straight Sword recipes in your crafting menu.
Santa’s Shop Location in The Forge
Santa’s Shop is easy to spot once you enter the Frostpire Expanse hub. Santa stands on a boat and offers event-specific quests and rewards. These quests are the main source of Xmas Tickets, so make sure to complete as many as possible during the event period. In addition to weapon blueprints, Santa’s shop also features other limited-time items, making it worth checking regularly.
Are the Straight Sword Blueprints Limited?
Yes, both Hell Slayer and Candy Cane are event-exclusive. Once the Christmas Event ends, these blueprints may be removed or become unavailable for a long time. If you want to collect all weapon variants or avoid missing out on exclusive gear, it is strongly recommended to unlock them before the event expires.
The missing Straight Sword recipes in The Forge Winter Update are not hidden behind progression or bosses, but behind the Christmas Event.
By completing Santa’s quests and earning Xmas Tickets, you can unlock the Hell Slayer and Candy Cane blueprints and add two exclusive Straight Sword variants to your collection. Make sure to act before the event ends, as these recipes are tied to a limited-time update and may not return anytime soon.
