Finding the Forge Quest Guide (Renly's Tools)



There are plenty of seemingly-insignificant quests in Path of Exile 2 that are actually very important for progression. Finding the Forge in Act 1 is one of these quests, and it serves as the gateway for recycling unwanted gear.




This is one of the many quests players will end up taking while progressing through Path of Exile 2’s campaign. However, it’s not something you can do while working on the main objective, and you’ll likely have to take a lengthy detour to finish it.

Every class in Path of Exile 2 uses skills, and not every one will lock on like basic attacks; here’s how to aim your skills and Attack in Place.

Renly's Workshop entrance in PoE 2

The item you need to find for the Finding the Forge quest is inside Ogham Village. However, since the game uses random generation for its map layouts, pinpointing the exact location of Renly’s Tools is going to be impossible. Luckily, the area containing the tools always has a checkpoint near it, giving players something tangible to look for when exploring the razed village.


Fast travel to the Ogham Village waypoint, pick a side and hug its wall. Continue exploring that side, and you’ll eventually encounter a narrow passageway in between two wrecked huts. As mentioned, a checkpoint should be right in front of the passageway — head inside and clear any enemies you find, and you should see Renly’s Tools on a table nearby. Bring the tools back to Renly in Clearfell Encampment, and the quest will be completed.

The passage leading to Renly’s Workshop tends to spawn southeast of the Ogham Village waypoint, though it could spawn in the northwest as well. In our playthroughs, we’ve noticed that the workshop also has a tendency to spawn on the opposite side of the Executioner boss’ arena. If you’ve already found where that boss is, then it might be a good idea to check the other half of the map.

Quest Rewards

Salvage Bench in PoE 2


Finding Renley’s Tools unlocks the Salvage Bench, which is used to dismantle items that have Rune Sockets or upgraded Quality. Dismantling such items grants you some spare Artificer Shards or upgrade materials (Blacksmith’s Whetstones, Armorer Scraps, etc). This is an excellent way to make use of any unwanted Socketed or Superior items you might find while exploring, giving you the chance to upgrade your existing gear.

For those who don’t know, item quality increases the base stats of equipment by a small percentage. This is one of the best ways to get better stats without necessarily farming for new items. However, to upgrade items, you need specific types of currency items in PoE 2.

  • Blacksmith’s Whetstone (Martial Weapons like hammers and quarterstaves)
  • Arcanist’s Etcher (Magical implements like staves, wands, and sceptres)
  • Armorer’s Scraps (Armor pieces)
  • Glassblower’s Bauble (Flask)

Players can also find these itemss while farming bosses like Rathbreaker in PoE 2’s second act. Some may also drop from normal enemies.
