While you’re exploring the various maps in Dungeonborne, sifting through the dirt and muck in search of valuables to sell and gear to better equip yourself with, it’s a rat race. There’s another player one hallway over doing the same. They may have a better sword than you; if you two meet, they’ll win. But with the right Heirlooms in Dungeonborne, you’ll come out on top each time!
Crafting Heirlooms in Dungeonborne
First and foremost, what are Heirlooms in Dungeonborne? They’re unique pieces of equipment, similar to legendaries or exotics in other RPGs, with unique stats and appearances to help set you apart from the dungeon-running crowd. But they’re challenging to acquire. It’s more than a slight grind for each piece of Heirloom equipment in the game.
You can start your journey to craft Heirlooms in Dungeonborne by visiting the blacksmith from the menu hub area. It’s listed as “Heirloom” on the top menu. There, you’ll have a chance to break down existing gear, providing you with necessary crafting resources and crafting various Heirloom pieces from the left-hand menu.
Each piece of Heirloom equipment in Dungeonborne requires significant resources per item to craft. You need either Rough White Iron or Ilmenite Ore, both of which you’ll receive by dismantling Common and Uncommon items, respectively.
You can dismantle items using the orange hammer icon at the top-right of the left-hand Heirlooms HUD. Once there, select the hammer icon in the top center, then choose whichever piece of equipment you’d like to break down in your inventory. It will destroy the item in the process but give you essential resources to craft better equipment from the blacksmith.

Types of Heirlooms Available to You in Dungeonborne
As of right now, there are three types of Heirlooms available to craft:
- Heirloom Weapons
- Heirloom Armor
- Heirloom Accessories
Within each category are numerous unique pieces of equipment, ranging from crossbows and two-handed swords to helmets and shields to rings and talismans. They’re all unique, all powerful, and each one is quite expensive to craft.
However, the downside to the Heirloom system is that not every piece of unique equipment is available to each class. They’re class-specific, meaning if you’re playing as the Fighter, the ideal beginner class, you’ll miss out on some types intended for a Cryomancer, for example!
