Blueprints
Rare schematics that unlock crafting of an epic weapon at its craftsman.
A Blueprint is a rare Schematic that permanently unlocks the recipe for one specific epic weapon. Learning a Blueprint teaches the matching equipment craftsman to forge that weapon — a piece of gear you can't obtain any other way.
Like every schematic, a Blueprint is an in-game item that lives in your Backpack until you learn it. It's shown there as Blueprint: <Weapon>.
Unlike cooking Recipe schematics, which are soulbound, Blueprints are tradeable — you can buy and sell them on the Marketplace until you consume one to learn its weapon.
The Epic Weapons
There are seven epic weapon Blueprints, one per weapon. Each weapon always crafts at Epic quality and carries a signature combat effect:
Blueprint: Skullcleaver
Skullcleaver (2-hand Axe)
Sanguine Edge — Critical Strikes heal for 20% of the damage dealt
Blueprint: Bonepiercer
Bonepiercer (1-hand Shortsword)
Piercing — attacks ignore part of the target's Physical Damage Reduction
Blueprint: Gravethorn
Gravethorn (2-hand Greatsword)
Piercing — attacks ignore part of the target's Physical Damage Reduction
Blueprint: Clatterclaw
Clatterclaw (Gadget)
Swift Strike — Basic Attacks have a 20% chance to strike twice
Blueprint: Wraith's Echo
Wraith's Echo (Orb)
Recoil — 10% chance to mirror a Spell back at the attacker
Blueprint: Hollowgleam
Hollowgleam (Wand)
Confusion — Basic Attacks have a 10% chance to deplete all of the target's Charges
Blueprint: Ribsheaf
Ribsheaf (Quiver)
Quickdraw — 50% chance to follow up with a Basic Attack when a Charge Skill releases
Finding Blueprints
Blueprints are rare drops from the Hallow Maw dungeon — nowhere else. Two sources inside the dungeon can drop them:
Its two bosses, Rattleguard Brukk and Mirelith the Tethered, on a rare extra loot roll.
Its treasure chests — large chests carry a better chance than small ones.
Any of the seven Blueprints can drop from either source, so which one you get is up to luck. Because they're tradeable, you can also acquire a specific Blueprint from another player on the Marketplace instead of farming for it.
Learning & Crafting
You learn a Blueprint at its weapon's equipment craftsman — the Blacksmith, Mason, Woodwright or Leatherworker listed above — on that craftsman's Blueprints tab.
Open the craftsman that forges the weapon (e.g. the Blacksmith for a Skullcleaver).
Go to the Blueprints tab. It lists the Blueprint schematics in your Backpack for that craftsman.
Pick one and learn it. Learning consumes the Blueprint and unlocks the weapon's recipe on your account.
The weapon now appears on the craftsman's Crafting tab, ready to forge whenever you have the materials.
An epic weapon recipe stays hidden on the craftsman's menu until you've learned its Blueprint — you won't see it listed before then. A recipe only ever needs to be learned once.
Forging an epic weapon is a serious investment: each is a 7-day craft and calls for a stack of rare materials that themselves largely come from Hallow Maw. Every craft produces an Epic-quality weapon.
A Blueprint that is currently listed on the Marketplace can't be learned until you delist it.
