There are a lot of crafting materials, also called reagents, in Dauntless. If you’re trying to craft new gear or upgrade your current weapons and armor, then you’re going to need to know how to farm for vital materials like Orbs. Orbs are by far the most important crafting reagent that players can acquire in Dauntless. There are five types of Orbs that can be farmed for. This guide will focus on Blaze Orbs, how to farm for them, and even discuss what players will be able to use the Blaze Orbs for.
Dauntless Blaze Orbs | How to farm Blaze Orbs
As mentioned above, Blaze Orbs are just one of the five types of crafting Orbs that players can find and collect in Dauntless. As the most important crafting material, these Orbs can be acquired several different ways, all of which we will outline in this guide. Without wasting anymore time, let’s dive right into everything that players will need to know to farm for Blaze Orbs in Dauntless.
As with most of the different crafting materials that players can farm for in role-playing games, Blaze Orbs can be acquired throughout normal gameplay. While this is absolutely an acceptable way to earn them, if players need or want to acquire a large quantity of this important crafting material, then they are going to find themselves struggling with doing so in just the normal type of hunts. Instead, players can complete specific tasks in Dauntless, which when completed will allow the player to earn Blaze Orbs much quicker.
The first way that players can earn Blaze Orbs quickly is through Blaze Patrols. These hunts rank from Threat Level four through seven, and when completed will reward you with 10 Blaze Orbs, 4 Skybloom, 4 Ironthistle, and 200 Rams. This isn’t including any additional Blaze Orbs that you might obtain off of the Behemoth that you’re fighting. On top of farming for Blaze Orbs in this manner, players will also be able to acquire additional Blaze Orbs by completing these patrol missions with a Daily Patrol Bonus active. This will automatically grant the player 10 Blaze Orbs for their trouble.
Players will be able to encounter three different types of Blaze Behemoths in these Blaze Patrols. The lowest level Behemoth that players can face here is the Charrogg, which comes with a recommended Power Level of 150. Next up is the Embermane, which comes with a suggested Power Level of 200. This enemy is very quick, so players will want to make sure they bring fast-moving weapons to the hunt and are prepared to stagger it. Finally, the highest level threat for Blaze Patrols is the Hellion. This dangerous Behemoth comes with a recommended Power Level of 275, players will want to make sure they are well prepared before heading in as it is heavily armored.
How to Use Blaze Orbs in Dauntless
Like the other Orbs available to players in Dauntless, Blaze Orbs will play a very vital part in crafting Blaze weapons and armor. To make use of these items you will need to return to the city of Ramsgate, the main social area in the game. Once here, players should make their way up to the crafting area where they will find two NPCs. Players can speak with Wils Bormen to craft new weapons, and they can talk to Moyra Heigsketter to craft armor pieces.
Players will find various types of armor and gear available to craft using the Blaze Orbs that they have accumulated. For example, players can craft the Charred Saber, Charred Crusher, Charred Blades, Charred Cleaver, or the Charred Spear using various Charrogg pieces as well as Blaze Orbs. Likewise, the Volcanic Helm, Volcanic Aegis, Volcanic Grips, and Volcanic Treats can be crafted in Ramsgate using Charrogg parts and Blaze Orbs that players have saved up.
Even if players don’t need to upgrade gear that requires Blaze Orbs, it’s still worth completing Blaze Patrols and Blaze Pursuits. It is important to have a hefty amount of this crafting material on hand as this will be key to upgrading gear later on down the road. Of course, players will also need to acquire several other Orbs throughout their time in Dauntless, and they should prioritize whichever Orb they need the most of at the time.

The PC Platform Puzzle | Digital Distribution in 2019
Gamers are spoiled for choice in 2019 when it comes to digital storefronts. While there are definitely pros and cons to each storefront, it can be daunting to shop if you're just browsing. Here is the landscape of digital games on PC in 2019. -
Steam
The longtime default champion of the category, Valve's Steam won over consumers with amazing sales, vast selection, and indie curation. While things have been rough the past few years for the original distributor, it's safe to say that Valve will do whatever it takes to stay competitive, bar hiring a few support people. -
Epic Games Store
Created with the help of Fortnite's immeasurable success, the EGS has hit the ground running by securing a range of highly desirable PC exclusives like Metro Exodus and The Divison 2. While some frown upon these tactics, there's no denying that Epic's generous financials towards developers is shaking things up. -
GOG
Formally known as Good Old Games, GOG is known for offering older titles in addition to newer indie releases, all without any DRM. It is also the driving force behind re-releases of many retro titles that would be lost to time otherwise. Most recently, GOG teamed with Blizzard to bring back the original Diablo. -
Origin
EA's Origin is a long time Steam alternative that offers EA's lineup and a host of select third-party titles. Mainly focused on selling you an Origin Access subscription nowadays, it is a feature-rich platform that only lacks in a robust selection of games. -
Blizzard Battle.net
The home of Overwatch, World of Warcraft, and Starcraft 2 recently became the home of Call of Duty as well. Activision is taking a new approach with Blizzard's PC launcher, and only time will tell if future Activision products also make the jump to Battle.net exclusivity. -
Bethesda.net
Bethesda's play at digital distribution has been a half step at best. While Fallout 76 is the first game of note to live exclusively on the platform, not many really want to play that at all. The rest of Bethesda's catalog is available, but many prefer to wait for a sale elsewhere than get in on another launcher. -
Uplay
Ubisoft's launcher is the home for every Ubisoft release, but they're not bound to the store. Unlike most places, Ubisoft sells its games everywhere, even if you have to launch Uplay after you hit play anyway. It also carries a limited array of third-party games in case you're interested. -
Itch Io_
itch.io is a completely open marketplace where anyone can publish with almost no restrictions. This used to give it a unique place in the market, but now it carries on thanks to its pro-indie messaging and low-fi atmosphere. If you want to play something extremely experimental, itch is for you. -
Kartridge
One of the newest storefronts around, Kartridge is the premium game store from Kongregate. It has a large selection of indie games big and small and a few interesting features regarding achievements. Kartridge hasn't made a huge splash, although it is planning to secure some exclusives in the near future. -
Discord
The popular chatting app has several ways to sell players games. They have a Nitro subscription service that comes with their premium options and consists of older PC gems. They've also recently announced that developers will be able to sell directly to their fans via official channels very soon.
