Forged In Starmetal is a quest you will get automatically in Avowed when you find your first fragment of Starmetal. However, it won’t be immediately clear what to do with it, and you’ll need to have progressed far enough into the game to have reached the Solace Keep in Galawain’s Tusks in order to complete this quest.

Sanza’s four cartographers have gone missing in Dawnshore, Emerald Stair, Shatterscarp, and Galawain’s Tusks.
Once you find a smith who can work with such volatile metal, you’ll have a choice to make over what sort of Starmetal weapon you want, which will depend on what sort of Envoy you’re building. However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves – first off, let’s find the smith.
The obvious stop in this search is Gweneth in Dawnshore. She’s the smith you meet right near the start of the game, and talks about working with rare metals. However, she cannot help. We spoke to her first, and she suggested speaking to someone more experienced, which updated the quest. However, it may be possible to skip this step.
The smith who can actually help is Forgemaster Dela. He is found in Solace Keep in Galawain’s Tusks. This is the last map you unlock before the point of no return, so this is a late-game quest, even if you manage to start it earlier. He is in the Main Hall, down the steps at the back of the room. Go through the conversation with him until you get the option to mention Starmetal. This will start him on an excited tangent, which you can listen to or cut short. It doesn’t matter, so it depends if you’re in a rush or want to discover all of the lore. After this, he offers you a choice: sword or arquebus.
Which weapon you should make comes down to playing preference. If you want a great melee weapon, choose the sword. If you want a great ranged weapon, choose the arquebus. You can collect enough Starmetal to get both, while both can also be upgraded. When you upgrade you lose the original weapon, so be careful. See the stats below for each weapon to help make your decision.
