Acquisition

Starfang is obtained by bringing the Meteor Metal Ore found during The Crater World Map Encounter to Mikhael Dryden in Soldier's Peak after the completion of the Soldier's Peak quest. When you speak with Mikhael with the meteor ore in your inventory, you can ask him if he can forge a weapon for you out of it. He gives you a choice between making you a longsword or a greatsword. Choose carefully, as there is only enough ore for one weapon!

Special properties

+3 strength
+2.5 armor penetration
+8 attack

Bugs

ps3 ps3 An exception to the damage value seems to be present and consistent where the displayed in-game value is 17.00 and not the indicated 18.70.

This is not a bug as such, it merely reflects a different damage scale for greatswords (as well as for other two-handed weapons) in the console versions of the game.

Notes

• You will find the ore even if you do not have the DLC.
• Starfang will not import over to Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.
• Starfang will grade down from Starmetal (Tier 8) to Dragonbone (Tier 7) if it was sold to certain vendors or stored in the unofficial Camp Merchant Chest (confirmed on PC 1.04).
