Steel and Fire Mastery – 20AP

This is the meta achievement, you need to complete at least 36 of the 37 eligible achievements to earn the last tier reward which includes 20AP and the title “Forged Steel”. However, by completing the tier 3, which requires only 27 achievements, will earn you the Steel Warband Banner Skin.

Most of these achievements require multiple runs through the instance, so plan ahead what you might want to do each run if you want to do it in the fewest amount of runs possible. The minimum required runs to get the meta completed is 10 runs because of the Centurion’s Right Hand achievement, so be prepared to do this a lot if you want to finish the meta.

Forging Steel Achievements – 132AP

Alpha Strike – 10AP

To earn this achievement, during your fight with the last boss, The Ancient Forgeman, you need to shoot him using tank munition after breaking his defiance bar. While the boss is restrained, each munition you shoot at him counts toward this achievement. It requires a total of 500 so its gonna take a few rounds. The best way to break his bar is using the Harpoon skill (number 3) when you get inside the tank that you have been escorting. A timer will show time until vent pressure, so you can see when you need to get ready.

Artillery Specialist – 10AP

This achievement requires you to kill a total of 200 enemies with your tank, so be sure to always get enough munition.

Centurion’s Right Hand – 10AP

To earn this achievement you need to complete the Forging Steel Strike Mission 10 times.

4- From the second waypoint, head north and then east along the wall. The book is high up.

5- Head north from the second waypoint and look in an alcove to the west.

Field Medicine – 10AP

To earn this achievement, you need to complete the side quest for Nicabar Steelweaver 15 times, which asks you to gather some items to prepare his tonics. The snow is near the turn in, the grubs are further into the cave, the cave mushrooms are also in the cave, and the alpine blossoms can be found by climbing the rocks in the middle of the area.

A trick to get this achievement faster, is to do it when you first enter the instance and you are waiting for the preparations to start the mission, you can complete the side quest and exit the instance, restart it, and repeat.

Forged Steel – 1AP

You get this achievement by completing Forging Steel Strike Mission for the first time. Your reward is your first Steel Warband Weapon Box, which will be necessary to start unlocking the next collections.

Heavy Rival – 5AP

You get this achievement once you complete the Cinder Steeltemper side quest 10 times, which asks you to kill more enemies than her during the time limit, this is easy to do, but has potential to fail, so you will need to focus on it when it happens. Prepare to do these events when you reach the orange dirt areas on the map, there are two events per instance.

Mission Challenge: Final Boss – 5AP

To earn this achievement you need to complete the strike mission with the Final Boss challenge mote active, it makes the Ancient Forgeman boss harder but its not much harder if you have a competent group.

Mission Challenge: Horde of Foes – 5AP

To earn this achievement you need to complete the strike mission with the Horde of Foes challenge mote active, which will spawn about triple the amount of enemies, still not much harder with a competent group and Epidemic Necros, Permeating Wrath Guardians, and Trap Rangers can solve that problem very easily.

Mission Challenge: Powerful Foes – 5AP

To earn this achivement you need to complete the strike mission with the Powerful Foes challenge mote active, which mostly gives boons to enemies.

Mission Challenge: Tank Escort – 5AP

This is probably the hardest challenge mote that you will need to complete, it adds a health bar to the tank, and once the tank dies, the strike mission fails and you have to start again, its easy to do though if you have supports in your team, as the tank can be healed by players. Make sure your damage classes don’t stray too far away from the tank or the supports have to choose between healing the tank or their team.

Mission Challenge: Candidate for Khan-Ur – 0AP (Hidden)

This hidden achievement doesn’t count towards the meta achievement and it doesn’t give AP. To get it you need to complete the strike mission while the 4 challenge motes are active at same time, its fun for those who want something more challenging. You will need a good group composition for this, with a few healers to protect the tank and provide reflects, especially during the dwarven areas. Bring lots of AoE as mentioned before, since most of the instance is killing waves of mobs. The final boss is very dangerous to the tank’s health.

Moving Up the Ranks – 5AP

To earn this achievement you need to finish the strike mission with Imperator rank. The variables to increase rank are time spent, number of deaths, and amount of side missions completed, it might also help if you do it while going for the challenge mote active because you will need a good group for that as well.

Onsite Procurement – 10AP

To complete this achievement you need to pick up stone cannons and shoot them, you will need to do this a total of 100 times. These are dropped by the dwarves.

Spa Day – 0AP

After completing the strike mission, teleport back to the first Waypoint (Warband Camp) and head south-east. Jump into the bubbling part of the hot spring and use the /sit emote. This achievement doesn’t count towards the meta achievement.

The Spotter – 10AP

To earn this achievement, you need to complete the side quest for Vishen Steelshot 25 times, which asks you to use a sniper rifle to kill enemies. A trick to get this achievement faster, is to do it when you first enter the instance and you are waiting for the preparations to start the mission, you can complete the side quest and exit the instance, restart it, and repeat. Otherwise there are three different points in the instance that you can get progress for this.

Slaver’s Extinction – 16AP

You can earn this achivement with some grind because you need to kill a total of 1000 enemies in the dwarven section of the map, the enemies that count towards this achievement are mostly the dwarves and they spawn during the escort mission and during the final boss fight, so you can also stall the last boss fight and just keep killing enemies that spawn from portals.
