Walkthrough
To spawn the Eternal Weaponsmith to get this quest, clear out the camp on the west side of the Great Battle Field.

The Temple sits atop the large hill in the center of the Fissure, and is guarded by some sizable groups of Shadow Army. It is possible to make them and nearby Skeleton Army groups aggro each other to weaken them. When the groups leading up to the Temple are dead, the gate will open. Inside are groups of Shadow Monks and Shadow Mesmers guarding the ramps to the central alter, with groups of Abyssals and Shadow Beasts patroling between them. Pull the first patrol to the door and away from the monks, then work your way around the Temple taking out one group at a time. Atop the central platform are Shadow Rangers and more Shadow Beasts. Clear these out and the Eternal Forgemaster will spawn with your reward.

Do not take the following quest until your party is ready.

Initial dialogue
Eternal Weaponsmith
 * "Mortal, aren't you? You must be some sort of hero to be welcomed into the domain of the God of War.  I can improve any weapons you find, but if you wish to bear armor more fitting to your heroism, you should seek out the Forgemaster at the heart of the Temple of War."


 * Accept: "Thanks for the advice."
 * Decline: "I am not here for material gain!"
 * When asked about quest: "Few are the mortals who have ever worn armor crafted by the Forgemaster himself. While you are here and the favor of Balthazar is upon you, you should find the Forgemaster and learn whether or not he deems you worthy of wearing his masterful creations."

Reward dialogue
Eternal Forgemaster
 * "You have helped rid the Temple of War of the vile servants of Menzies. For this do I deem you worthy to receive armor crafted at the forge in the center of the Temple. Bring to me the materials required, and I shall create for you whatever armor you desire."
