🔨 Swordsmith
"A king has summoned you to go on an epic quest with a single goal: forge a legendary sword to serve as the symbol that will unite the kingdom. Journey to the ends of the earth in search of the finest metals and most exquisite jewels, and use them to create a sword that will change history."
This season…
Swordsmith is a new season all about crafting the most epic sword in history, and over the course of four weeks we'll travel the world collecting valuable resources to bring this legendary weapon to life! You'll design a parkour course in a dangerous abandoned mineshaft, build an undersea environment with valuable jewels buried in the sands, and assemble a dragon's lair out of obsidian. Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
— ⚔️ 27 new competitions with a combined prize pool of 💸 $1,500
— New 👀 Show & Tell competition: share your talents and win big
— Mine for riches in🌲 Forgemaster's Quarry, our new survival world!
Starting this week

Each week we'll introduce a new set of six competitions focused on a stage of our swordsmithing journey.
Week 1: We'll venture into an abandoned mineshaft in search of 🪙 gold hidden deep within!
Week 2: Follow the river down to the coast, and go diving for 💎 gems in the ocean!
Week 3: Scale to the summit of Dragonglass Peak and gather 🔮 obsidian from a dragon's lair!
