Why Island 3 Recipes Matter

Island 3 enemies and bosses are tougher than ever, and the new ores in the Frostpire Expanse and The Peak Mines come with boosted traits and multipliers. Using the right ore combinations is essential for survival and effective weapon crafting.

Early-Game Island 3 Recipes

For beginners in Island 3, Frostpire Expanse ores are easy to gather and perfect for starter weapons. Spears and Colossal Swords benefit the most from these early-game recipes.

100% Snowite

• Trait: Snow slows enemy attack speed and movement by 15% for 3 seconds, 30% chance on hit
• Multiplier: 8

70% Iceite, 30% Snowite

• Traits: Snow slows attack/movement speed 15% for 3 seconds, 30% chance; Ice freezes enemies for 2 seconds, 25% chance, 12s cooldown
• Multiplier: 9.75

Mid-Game Island 3 Recipes

As enemies get tougher, you need weapons with more damage. Adding Voidstar increases critical damage but slightly lowers health. Use these combinations for Spears, Colossal Swords, Katanas, Gauntlets, or Straight Swords.

Late-Game Island 3 Recipes

Late-game crafting focuses on raw power. Gargantuan is the strongest choice, but Heavenite and Suryafal provide a solid alternative if you can’t grind for Gargantuan. Stick to top-tier weapons like Angelic Spear, Savage Claws, Hell Slayer, and Chaos.

67% Heavenite, 33% Suryafal

• Traits: None
• Multiplier: 18.33

100% Gargantuan

• Traits: Deals 20% of weapon damage as fire per second for 2 seconds, 20% chance on hit; explosion at enemy location dealing 50% AOE damage, 35% chance

Optimal Weapon Crafting by Class

Here’s a list of the best ore combinations and islands for each weapon type:

• Dagger: 3 Ores (100%) – Island 1; first island is the only place to craft, weakest variant
• Straight Sword: 6 Ores (86%) – Island 3; best for Hell Slayer, Candy Cane, Chaos
• Gauntlet: 9 Ores (65%) – Island 2; highest chance for Ironhands or Savage Claws
• Mace: 9 Ores (65%) – Island 3; only Island 3 crafts Maces

Using these recipes ensures your weapons in Island 3 are strong enough to tackle bosses and grind efficiently. Early-game Frostpire ores help survival, mid-game Voidstar recipes boost critical damage, and late-game Gargantuan builds maximize raw power. Stick to the top-tier weapons, and always check ore combinations before crafting to avoid wasting rare resources in The Forge.
