“The Hunt For Nightfury” – Day 6
**Updated 4:37pm EST 10/28**
**If you have information to share please leave a comment or contact me at [email protected] **
We currently only know around 80% of the ingredients required to craft NightFury. Players are still searching for the missing ingredients, and have already figured out most of them very quickly. The missing ingredient may or may not be currently obtainable. This section will be updated with the complete recipe as soon as it is known.
**Update** Players are reporting seeing characters with NightFury in-game. If this is true, the recipe may have already been discovered but has not been shared yet.
**Update** Reddit user /u/chrish162 has chatted with an ANET developer who confirmed that NightFury has NOT been discovered by anyone. The developer also may have dropped a hint referring to the movie “How to Train Your Dragon”, because the character “Toothless” is a breed of “Nightfury” dragon.
**Update** Another developer has said that they DO NOT KNOW whether all of the items need to craft Nightfury are currently available in the game.
**Update** You will still be able to craft this item AFTER Halloween. So don’t worry about missing out during the 2 week Halloween event. It’s a normal mystic forge recipe and the Halloween components can be purchased from the Trading Post.
Current Top Theories:
- Gyve of Madness is the missing item
- Missing item is only craft-able through Scribe
- Missing item is Dragon related
- Missing item is still undiscovered in HoT
- Missing item is another recipe entirely
Items That Need To Be Tested:
The cheapest way to test items is by using a Glacial Lodestone and a Vial of Linseed Oil. Go to the Mystic Forge and see if the items are compatible.
**Update** Inconsistencies with the Mystic Forge have been reported. We are awaiting further evidence before making any conclusions. Restarting the client appears to resolve most issues.
| Priority | Item | Notes |
| High | Gyve of Madness | Currently unobtainable** |
| Medium | Dragon/Wyvern Items | Check already tested list |
| Medium | Gift of Light | (Gift of Darkness) |
| Low | Gift of Maguuma | HoT Map Exploration |
| Low | Gift of Ice | Not tested to my knowledge |
| Low | Gift of Rodgort | Dragon Related |
**Update** Data-mining has revealed that “Gyve of Madness” is contained in a future Heart of Thorns update. (Possible Spoilers)
Working theory summarizing currently known information regarding Mystic Forge Combinations:
Recipe 1: Bat Wing, Linseed Oil, Glacial Lodestone
Recipe 2: Endless Bat-wing Brew, Gift of Darkness, Vision Crystal

Heart of Thorns Theories
**Update** An ANET developer mentioned a secret garden under Jaka Itzel Village in Verdant Brink as being a good place to harvest Flax Seeds.
Reddit user /u/LlamaLinda went to the garden and found mobs of Vampire Beast Mawlers and Vampire Beast Crawlers. He reports that the Crawlers have a knockdown skill with the same sound and visual effects at Chiroptophobia, a Halloween greatsword skin.
Furthermore, both mobs apply a debuff called “Vampiric Infection” that features the same bat swarm effect.
The known component, Linseed Oil, is made from Flax Seeds which are found in this location, so this may be a step in the right direction. Although Flax Seeds are also found in many other places. Players are now farming the mobs and reporting on the loot that is dropped. This could be what the developers meant when they said that players would “have to grind for it”.
**Update** It looks like the Vampire Beast theory is a dead-end. No viable loot has been reported.
**Update** /u/LlamaLinda reports a new type of Vampire Beast called “Bloodsucker” located near the boss area at Vinetooth Den.
Might be minor spoilers for some people that didn’t get to the second map yet!
Following the Toothless theory:
I just attempted to kill Legendary Vinetooth Prime twice.
It spawns after the third east pylon event in Auric Basin at Vinetooth Den
Its a really hard boss that requires great CC coordination. When he targets someone, that person will go down and die (giving another stack for its buff) unless you break the breakbar.
And now guess what, just west of that boss area there they were again! The vampires! And also a new type: Bloodsucker.
**Update** Reddit User /u/fairestof has found a “Veteran Bloodsucker” in the Tangled Depths.
“How To Train Your Dragon” Theory
**Update** Based on Reddit user /u/chrish162’s interaction with an ANET developer, it is believed that the missing item may have something to do with themes involving the character “Toothless” from the movie “How To Train Your Dragon”.
Here are pictures of the chat he posted:
Information we gain from this interaction:
- Nightfury has NOT been discovered yet
- Nightfury IS possible to discover (either currently or in the near future)
- It can be inferred that there is indeed ONE missing component/recipe
**Update*** ArenaNet has made a “How To Train Your Dragon” response in the “Nightfury Confirmation” thread in the official forums.
It’s hard to say at this point if the developers are actually dropping hints, or simply joking around with the players. If it is indeed a hint it could possibly point to Tequatl/Wyvern or other Dragon-themed items.
**Updated** /u/Starkumic received this image response on twitter, asking for another hint. Toothless with a pile of fish.
**Updated** @Shazbawt has tweeted this image captioned “Rytlock had a new buddy”
**Update** /u/Kyvia reports finding nothing of interest in the Wyvern Hatchling area shown in a video posted by /u/newmatch
“Toothless” brainstorm from Reddit user /u/CometFireclaw to give us an idea of new items to try:
- Has a glider for a missing wing
- Shoots out plasma bolts
- Goes Alpha Dragon in the second movie
- Can retract its teeth
- Does not like eel
- Has big yellow eyes
- Is called night fury
- Has straps that keep its wing on
- Is friend with hiccup the Viking
- Is last of its kind
- Likes fish
**Update** How To Train Your Dragon “Gift of The Night Fury”. A short movie about Toothless that may hold clues regarding Nightfury.
“No Night Furies were seen laying their eggs. It could be possible they lay their eggs elsewhere, as according to the Dreamworks website[2], they lay their eggs at night on mountains so no one can find them.”
This would indicated possible use of the glider to reach the item we need.
**Update** /u/AutumnLantern has posted new images of an in-game conversation with a dev. The dev says he that he “doesn’t know” if all necessary items to craft Nightfury are in the game.
**Update** From /u/PropheticCrow:
Here’s why I think the next bit is in Tangled Depths, in The Great Tree / Ogre Camp area
- Ogre camp is surrounded on all ledges by Wyverns. In particular, after completing the event chains there, the corrupted wyverns at the top of the tree change to electric wyverns that look very much like Toothless. Also, the rock in the background up there looks the same texture as in one of the Toothless pictures from the devs. Also, there is a flax farm up here (and flax is another necessary ingredient).
- One of the events there is for Nocta The Tracker to find a pet. It happens in the area underneath where the wyverns are. A Champion Bat Matriarch is spawned, surrounded by other bats. There are also many vampire creatures nearby, and also spiders. All of these creature types can be associated with Halloween and the bat shoulders. In particular, the bats look like they have the same skin as the bats that fly around you when wearing the shoulders (comparing to ANet’s teaser picture of the shoulders).
- Nocta trains his pet – it’s a bat! (As in ‘How to train your
dragon‘ Bat)- When Nocta returns, he is surrounded by four bats circling around him! Is this a hint?
To get up to the top area, you can either run along the river from the ogre camp waypoint and use the updrafts to climb up, or else there is a jumping puzzle to get up from inside the cave as well.

**Update** Added items from Reddit user /u/PanicGiraffe‘s list.
Other Clues:
- Endless Bottle of Bat-wing Brew can be successfully combined with a Vision Crystal and Gift of Darkness, which may lead to one of the components for NightFury. **Update** Most plausible theory currently.
- May involve Scribe crafting in new Guild Halls. **Update** Linseed Oil is a Scribe crafting material. Reddit User /u/FreakingBeasty has leveled up to 139 in Scribe and reports that it is extremely expensive (~600 g).
- Pumpkin Smasher and Tattered Wing are both 300 Scribe items.
- The Vial of Linseed Oil proves that new items added in Heart of Thorns are fair game.
- The “Gyve of Madness” is looking like one of the most likely items, but no one knows how to obtain that item either. **Update** Apparently it is not currently obtainable.
There is still the possibility that the missing item could be a rare drop from the Mad King Boss. The developers have alluded to a “rare and marvelous reward…”**Update** Rare reward probably refers to Tattered Bat Wings
- The Tattered Bat Wing description says “tingles with a feeling that reminds you of the mystic forge” and the Batwing description is “the wing feels almost alive and tingles with a feeling that reminds you of the mystic forge”. This could be referring to a “spark” or “lightning”.
- Developers have mentioned “gliding” in the same conversation as Nightfury, implying that the missing item may be related to the glider in HoT.
- Reddit user /u/cesa37 suggests that the item may be obtainable through karma and event vendors. Although this includes thousands of potential items, it does have some precedent (Reaper of Souls and Luminescent Armor)
- May be related to “Dragons Stand” in HoT.
- Matrices, energy, and stabilized energy still have unidentified recipes.

Its insane, how this item has been online.
Noone is able to find out the ingrediants
Batwing, Gift of Darknss, Endless bat potion , XXXX?
You’re right, it is pretty crazy how the recipe remains a mystery. I’ve updated the list to reflect the information in your comment. With the Gift of Darkness, this item keeps getting more expensive to make.
has anyone tried the Ley-line spark yet?
That’s a good question. I’ll report back if I find that it has been tested. As of know I haven’t seen that it has.
Edit: Just received a report confirming that it does NOT work. I’ve added it to the list.
Endless beer don’t work…
Sorry it works with other parts 🙂 my bad !
Ive tested the endless bat tonic. it doesnt work. Be adviced
Thanks for the update. Are you referring to the Endless Bat-wing Brew?
Endless Bat-wing Brew works fine with Gift of Darkness and Vision Crystal.
but there isnt 3 recipes for light, medium and heavy?
At this point we can’t say for sure. It follows logically that there could be 3 recipes, but it may just be 1 recipe that unlocks all 3 skins. I for one hope it’s the latter since the cost to craft this thing is so high.
Has anyone tried plastic fangs, or the high-quality plastic fangs?
Nobody tested if mystic coins are needed for the second recipe too?
Just tried! Don’t work neither 🙂
Gift of lightning don’t work… Just tried !
Thank you for the update. It has been added to the list.
Gift of darkness does not work
It does…. but with Endless Bat-wing Brew.
Fangs do not work
Love the updates I check back every hour lol keep up the good work!
Thanks! Leave no stone unturned!
Anyone try if the “Gift of Gliding” trophy works with the Bat wing, or the mystic forge for that matter?
I’m interested to find out as well. It’s one of the top 3 items that need to be tested.
Tattered Bat Wing is also a Scribe crafting material. What is it used for, there?
I’ll check Scribe tonight at guild hall. As soon i can answer, i will 🙂
Cool. I assume it’s unrelated, but it won’t hurt to know that I guess.
Scribe is looking expensive to level up. I saw where one player reported spending over 600 gold and hasn’t reached Scribe level 200 yet.
Has anyone tried Gift of Moon?
Yup, it wasn’t compatible. All of the Halloween Gifts have been tested.
Forgive my ignorance (I don’t really craft much), but are trophies (junk) useable in mystic forge crafting?
If so the most blatantly obvious reference to Toothless would be the Fin you get from Skale. It’s a red fin; exactly the same as his.
Just been watching and this was the first thing I thought of.
Reason I say this is due to the reference and due to it being a non buy able low cost addition to the already expensive recipe. Not like anyone tests junk for recipe usage too. Could be why no one has found it.
And again I don’t know if you can use junk for mystic forge.
I’m pretty sure junk does not show up on the MF screen.
I picked up a “tail fin” from the skale in Mount Maelstrom. I thought that one would make the most sense as “Nightfury” is missing part of his tail. Doesn’t show up on the MF screen. 🙁
Something to note is in the wardrobe, Nightfury is a common rarity.
It’s name is white.
So is eternity. They all show up in white.
With toothless being the last of its kind, has anyone made reference to glint or her egg?
That’s an interesting idea. Is the egg an item?
Wanda Blads Lent me some oil, so I was able to test somethings. All are no on both ends of the recipes
Mad Memories, green and orange form
All Halloween weapons that arent skins. (BLkey ones and the 2012 craftable ones)
All current halloween mats, and their refined forms.
All Halloween tonics, including endless halloween tonic from 2012.
Final Rest
Tasi’s golem and candy corn powered machine
Blade shards/ watchwork mechanisms
With that you can rule out most of the halloween stuff. I think I only missed the minis (all of mine are account bound) and the halloween 2012 skins. I doubt theyed use the later however.
Wow, thank you for testing all of those things! I’ll update the list.
I’m not sure if any of these trophies will work in the forge, but here’s the wiki page for them: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Category:Event_items
There’s a few different eggs to try, maybe the frozen fish? Nightfury likes fish.
I’m wondering if they hid a dragon’s nest or something to interact with in one of the cities along with the Halloween decorations. Maybe Hoelbrak? It seems to fit the best with the movie theme. Just throwing some ideas out there.
Has anyone tried to use a Tattered Batwing in Scribe crafting? This may lead to one or both of the missing items.
i haven’t seen anyone mention that Tattered Batwings are a 300 crafting material for Scribes!!!
Reddit user /u/Oktadezimal:
I don’t think anyone has tested that yet. In fact I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with a Scribe level over 200 yet. I believe Linseed Oil is another Scribe crafting material that requires level 300.
I’ve leveled mine to lvl 139 and its already cost me something like 600g. its insanely expensive until guild upgrades are far enough that you cna buy basic decorations off the merchant. I’ve stopped leveling it now as I fear I cant even afford the damned shoulder at this rate.
That’s good to know. Sorry it’s so expensive! I’ve added your info.
Has anyone tried the bat wing glider that is in the gem store?
Yes, it has been tested.
Copying my post from the reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3pz972/nightfury_blessed_shoulders_of_the_swag_seeker/cwdoncx):
Might be minor spoilers for some people that didn’t get to the second map yet!
Following the Toothless theory:
I just attempted to kill Legendary Vinetooth Prime twice.
It spawns after the third east pylon event in Auric Basin at Vinetooth Den
Its a really hard boss that requires great CC coordination. When he targets someone, that person will go down and die (giving another stack for its buff) unless you break the breakbar.
And now guess what, just west of that boss area there they were again! The vampires! And also a new type: Bloodsucker.
Thanks for the report! I’ve added your info to the post.
Gift of Gliding isn’t actually an item and therefore not forgeable
So is it a Trophy, or what?
Guys you already try whith the mystic stones?
Mystic Forge Stones have been tested, if that’s what you mean.
Just wondering, has anyone went to the map “Dragon Stand” and see whats there or is it not accessible right now?? I see it under the “Tangled Deaths” map and maybe since Nightfury is a dragon, there might be something there?
This is something that needs to be tested. It’s been brought up before, but I never saw anything come of it.
if the last ingredient hasnt been found before i get home i will search for it!! 🙂 so exciting to be part of this scavenger hunt
so we need to find a 300 Scribe :\
I’m not sure but in the movie, nightfury only came during night. In the first map we have a day and night feature. maybe there is a mob (vampirebat) type that only spawns at night?
There are dark caves in the new maps.
In the movie, the towns peaple never saw nightfury, because of the darkness. maybe it is in some dark cave?
Based on what his tail is in the movie, I tried every cloth and leather strap in game, including drops. No luck. Tried backpack frame too for the heck of it, nada.
Also made every dowel in game, none showed. Linseed oil is used as varnish or curing pigment, so I suggest paper from scribe, perhaps?
Did you tried some dyes? Like Blood Abyss and some helloween themed colors 😀
All dyes have been tried, no dice.
Has anyone tried the 3 different refractors that you can get off of three different halloween amulets? One of these (green refactor) gives a green glow particle to any trinket you apply it to. Working to get my batwing so I can test, but figured I would share to speed research.
These drop at Exotic level from Trick or Treat bags. Green mist from trinket component + batwing + other components seems to make sense to me. They also are not mentioned anywhere in this whole blog.
I know the black refractor has been tested. It’s worth a shot to test the others.
Also it should be noted that in 2014 these only caused your character to glow the color. [reference pictures on the wiki] These appear now to both color your character, but also produce a smoke effect.

Scarecrow has been tested too, it is just a decoration item
[&CjYnAAA=]
SO! I just remembered a few days ago I tried to look up this RARE item someone linked out of the final chest in Ascent to Madness dungeon. Its called “Festive Trason” (and I hope I’m spelling that right). I don’t remember the description but this could be a piece of the puzzle.
I’m putting this out there because this is another “unique” rare Item from the Mad King dungeon and I just looked at a list of items from somebody opening 10,000 trick-o-treat bags. This “Festive Trason” was not in that list.
Smoke effect only works on certain armors btw
Tested Eel statue while making my gift of Kraitkin – doesn’t work.
Thank you for testing!
I’m seriously curious if anyone has tested destabilized ecto (if they can be thrown in the toilet).
Can’t find where it has been tested. I’m going to test it myself right now. I’ll report back ASAP.
It didn’t work
Dang, I had such high hopes for this. Thank you for testing it, tho! You did try all the three sized, btw?
I’ll post this idea as I did in the reddit post. Has anyone tried the item “Defender of Ascalon” from the fractals? (20 pristine fractal relics)
HTTYD Series is called “Defenders of Berk” So needing gift of ascalon already for the Gift of darkness might make sense to use “Defenders of Ascalon” item. (It would also match up with the rytlock/ascalon with toothless image tweeted today.)
I’ll add it to the list.
hi it is considered a trophy can those go in the forge?
Got a new item from flax tonight, Flax Fiber. Listed as scribe ingredient, does not combine in MF
Hey Autumn Lantern! Thanks so much for organizing/compiling all this data. I have some things I want to add.
I just watched How To Train Your Dragon (HTTYD) today for fun and for research purposes, and here are some more things about Night Furies/Toothless that may or may not be helpful (most probably isn’t):
[MOVIE SPOILERS]
-no one’s ever seen one (at the start of the movie)
-plasma bomb shots – dive-bombing attacks
-a night fury never misses, nor has ever been killed
-acts like a cat – mini zuzu missing piece?
-obsidian-like scales
-there’s a book called “the dragon manual” that the trainees study from – maybe one of the HoT mastery-gated vendors sells something like that?
-Night Fury description in the book: “The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Do not engage this dragon. Your only chance: hide and pray it does not find you.”
-sleeps hanging upside down like a bat – connection to bat-themed item
-according to the Disney wiki, Night Furies can also use echolocation – connection to bat-themed item
-ballistic noise when diving – related to bat screeching?
-there’s a grass/weed that acts as dragon-nip (like catnip)
-In the short, “gift of the night fury” (which is just too good of a name for ANet), the gift is friendship. (Though I suppose he also does bring Hiccup his viking helmet…) I tried all the heart vendor/karma items to do with friendship I could find in the wiki in the linseed oil/glacial lodestone recipe. (Namely fine and masterwork Quaggan Friendship Bracelet, Spleedboop’s Friendship Shell, Nrocroc Pressed Prickleberry Friendship Flower, and a fine Pressed Friendship Flower. I don’t have the stuff to test it in the other recipe.) None of them worked unfortunately.
-Another thing from the short is that the dragon’s eggs explode. In the Patriarch Wyvern fight in VB, you use exploding eggs to break his shield. So maybe the missing piece is a drop from him? I tried the Wyvern Cache he drops but that didn’t work. And I didn’t get anything special or unique out of it to test.
-Because of the Disney thing about not being able to find nightfury eggs but that they might be on mountains at night I checked all around Patriarch’s Perch at night during and after a successful fight, but there was nothing to interact with or pick up other than the Wyvern Eggs (which are a bundle) used in the fight. I haven’t checked the adolescent wyvern area at night yet but I’m planning on doing that at some point, both before and after a successful Patriarch kill.
Anyway I hope some of this is helpful. Feel free to email me or PM me in game. As much as I want those shoulders, I’m having a lot of fun with this searching. I keep waking up in the middle of the night with new ideas to try haha
The friendship items were a good try. I’ve added them to the list. I think you’re on to something with the Dragon Eggs and Patriarch Perch. Can you think of anything connected to gliding? The devs have loosely hinted that gliders or gliding may be involved. Great work!
I’m not sure. I wanted to do more exploring in that area, since it’s only accessible once the choppers show up during the night time VB events, but the updrafts disappear around Patriarch Perch once night ends. So you either use them to explore instead of fighting him or kill him fast enough to have more time to explore. Next time I’m in a VB night I’m just gonna ignore him and go exploring and see if I can get to a new place or find anything with the updrafts available during the fight. I’ll keep you posted!
Oh! Also, has anyone tried a second Bat Wing for the linseed oil+glacial lodestones combination? It might be as simple as that.
can someone clarify if Trophy’s can be used in the Forge? if so i will test the Defender of Ascalon TRophy
Has anyone tried the recipe with abyss or shadow abyss dye? First thing everyone notices when they look at toothless, is that he’s a dark black dragon.
All black dyes have been tested.
can someone please clarify if Trophy items can be used in the mystic forge?
bought the 20 prestine relic item ” defender of ascalon” from Fotm vendor. does not even show up nor is forgable 🙁 looks like someone else wanna confirm my purchase?
Darn, I appreciate you trying my idea. I need to go back to the drawing boards I guess.
Atleast your closer to the legendary fractal backpiece ^^
Does anyone try for the Gwynefyrdd……
I have 4 gwynefyrdds, none work with the nightfury recipes 🙁
It’s a good news…
Thanks for the info! Updated the list.
Has anyone tried the Charr-Nip from BUY-4373 in FOTM
Yes, I have tried, it also doesn’t go into the forge
Thanks for testing! List updated.
Maybe its heart or event item? Like luminise armours. Or u need combo 4 halloween items to get the last item ?
All Halloween related items have been tested.
it seems to be an exotic kind of tatered wing, what if that exotic wing is the missing piece of the second recipe and the result of the second recipe is the missing piece of the final recipe?
Nvm the item that showed my friend was the crafted one
has anyone tried gift of souls?
Yup, it’s been tested.
Has anyone tried anything to do with lightning. Toothless is a lightning breather.
Gift of Lightning, Sparks, etc have been tested.
I might be able to try gift of light? Or has that been tested yet?
Unless the final item is a container that contains 3 items or skins, there may be 3 different Nightfury items as an end result (light, medium, and heavy) and also 3 different associated Mystic Forge recipe variations.
Let’s assume that the mysterious Gyve of Madness is one of the key items, and let’s assume that it’s created by Mystic Forging the Bat Wing, Glacial Lodestones, Linseed Oil and that mystery item 4. There may be 3 variations of that recipe for the 3 variations of the Gyve of Madness in each armor category: light, medium and heavy. The other associated recipe of Endless Batwing Brew, Vision Crystal and Gift of Darkness with the respective Gyve of Madness (L, M, H) might then result in the respective Nightfury (L, M, H) by in concept enhancing the Gyve of Madness by giving it the flying bat effect.
So the possible takeaway from this is that the unknown mystery item 4 is not necessarily one item, but 3 different items for 3 different variations of the recipe where each of the 3 items should represent one of the armor categories (light, medium, and heavy) (perhaps it may be some type of armor piece since what better represents different armor categories than different armor pieces). Additionally, perhaps somehow a clue or just an error (if it’s related) is that the Gyve of Madness for heavy is not a shoulder piece, but a boot/foot piece. Is there some type of HoT or Halloween armor or reward that is a shoulder piece for light and medium, but a boot in heavy?…that might be a possible lead.
There are invisible boots now too. So the heavy gyve might actually be boots?
Last piece for tier 2 has been discovered: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3qlvob/some_good_news_and_some_bad_news_about_nightfury/
