Let’s be real—if you’re a Genshin Impact player who loves free, powerful weapons, you’ve probably set your sights on the Dragonspine Spear, right? This F2P polearm is a total game-changer for characters like Xiangling, Rosaria, or even your main polearm DPS, and it’s tied to the Festering Fang world quest in the icy Dragonspine region. But let’s cut to the chase: getting this weapon isn’t as simple as grabbing a chest off the beaten path. You’ve got to track down specific items, fight tough enemies, and even craft the spear yourself. I’ve spent hours grinding this quest (and refining the spear to max level, let’s be real) so I’m breaking down every step you need to know to nail it in 2026, no wasted time.

First things first: the core item you’ll be hunting for is the Strange Tooth, four of them to be exact. These are scattered across Dragonspine, and trust me, if you don’t know where to look, you’ll be wandering the snow for hours. Let’s map them out clearly:

  • Strange Tooth 1: Look for a cluster of torches—this tooth is tucked right near them, easy to spot if you’re paying attention to the region’s landmarks.

  • Strange Tooth 2: Head to a small, isolated island in Dragonspine’s waters, but watch out for the enemies guarding it; they’re not messing around.

  • Strange Tooth 3: This one’s inside Wyrmrest Valley’s cave, surrounded by that ominous red energy you’ve probably seen while exploring the area.

  • Strange Tooth 4: Near a patch of water on the ground, guarded by a single enemy—take them out fast to grab the tooth.

And here’s a pro tip for refining your Dragonspine Spear later: these teeth respawn every two days. So once you’ve grabbed the initial four, you can come back every couple of days to collect more for refinement materials—no need to stress about missing out on maxing out your weapon’s stats.

Now, the Strange Teeth aren’t the only items you need. Let’s list out all the requirements to craft the Dragonspine Spear and finish the Festering Fang quest:

  1. Four Strange Teeth (as we covered)

  2. A Northlander Polearm Prototype: This is non-negotiable for crafting the spear. You can earn it by either climbing the ranks in the Spiral Abyss or leveling up the Frostbearing Tree in Dragonspine. If you’re new, the Frostbearing Tree route is easier—just collect Crimson Agate and turn it in to level up the tree until you get the prototype.

  3. A bunch of Starsilver Ore: This is the region-specific ore you’ll need for crafting. The easiest place to farm it is the northern perimeter of Dragonspine, where the beaches are dotted with deposits. But if you’re already exploring other parts of the region, you’ll find it scattered there too—just keep an eye out for the shiny blue ore nodes.

  4. Mora: Don’t forget the in-game currency! You’ll need enough Mora to cover the crafting costs, so make sure you’ve farmed some from chests, commissions, or events before you start.

Once you’ve got all those items, the next step is to turn one of your Strange Teeth into a Vitalized Dragontooth. To do that, head back to Wyrmrest Valley’s cave—this time, you’ll have to fight a group of Fatui enemies. They’re tough, so make sure your party is leveled up and has good artifacts. Once you beat them, you’ll get the Vitalized Dragontooth, which is the final piece of the puzzle.

Now, craft the Dragonspine Spear at any blacksmith, then head back to the NPC Orban to turn in all your items. You’ll get an achievement, a bunch of rewards, and of course, the Dragonspine Spear itself. And remember, since the Strange Teeth respawn every two days, you can keep coming back to collect more to refine your spear to its maximum level—making it even more powerful for your favorite polearm characters.

Wait, have you ever wondered why the Dragonspine Spear is such a popular F2P weapon? It’s because it’s tailored for Dragonspine’s harsh environment, and its stats are perfect for characters who rely on physical damage or elemental reactions. Plus, it’s free—who doesn’t love a powerful weapon that doesn’t require spending Primogems on gacha pulls?

So if you’re ready to add this amazing polearm to your arsenal, grab your warmest gear (and a good party) and head to Dragonspine. Follow these steps, and you’ll have your Dragonspine Spear in no time.
