11Quagmire Powder is a Cursed Swamps resource in Windrose, dropped from Plague enemies including Plague Witches, Plague Hunters, Plague Warriors, and Plague Thralls. It is a required ingredient for Mire Metal Ingot smelting at the Large Smelting Furnace (2 Ancient Scraps + 1 Quagmire Powder = 1 Mire Metal Ingot). Quagmire Powder is also found in chests at Cursed Swamps Points of Interest.22Overview55PropertyValueCategoryResourceRarityCommonItem Level3Weight0.0Stack Size3077Acquisition88Where FoundNotesPlague Witch1 to 2 per kill; primary farming source for sustained farmingPlague Hunter1 to 2 per kill; common encounter in deep swampPlague Warrior1 to 2 per kill; tougher enemy but consistent dropPlague Thrall0 to 1 per kill; chance dropCursed Swamps POI chestsVariable quantities; Ancient Ruins and dungeon chestsRenewable?Yes; Plague enemies respawn in the Cursed Swamps after several in-game days1010Uses1111RecipeMaterialsOutputMire Metal Ingot2 Ancient Scraps + 1 Quagmire Powder1 Mire Metal Ingot at the Large Smelting FurnacePossibly other recipesContinues to be community-documentedSpecific endgame alchemy and crafting1313Farming Strategy1414Plague Witches are the most efficient single source; they drop 1-2 Quagmire Powder per kill and are easier than Plague HuntersPlan a multi-target route: hit Witches first, then Hunters and Warriors, then Crocodiles for Tainted Bile, all in one Cursed Swamps tripDrop a Fast Travel Bell at the swamp entry so you can warp out for resupply and backStockpile Ancient Scraps in parallel; you need 2 Ancient Scraps per Mire Metal IngotA typical farming run yields 10-20 Quagmire Powder per session, enough for 10-20 Mire Metal Ingot1616Production Position1818Quagmire Powder is the gating resource for Mire Metal Ingot, which in turn gates everything in the late game: the Enchanting Table build (3 Mire Metal Ingot), the Bellows Weaponsmith upgrade (20 Mire Metal Ingot + 15 Crocodile Hide + 5 Hewn Stone), the Distiller Alchemy upgrade (5 Mire Metal Ingot + 5 Wood + 2 Crocodile Hide), and Ingot Arborum (1 Mire Metal Ingot per craft). Without a steady Quagmire Powder supply, late-game progression stalls.2020Lore2222Quagmire Powder is the supernatural residue left behind when Plague enemies are defeated, a fine grey-green dust with both alchemical and metallurgical applications. The fact that Plague enemies drop a constructive crafting material reflects Windrose's broader theme: the player turns the swamps' corruption into the means of progressing through it.2424See Also2626Mire Metal Ingot - primary recipe consumerPlague Witch - primary source enemyPlague Thrall - secondary sourceCursed Swamps - source biomeEnchanting Table - downstream consumer of Mire MetalPlague Crocodile, swamp enemy farmed alongside the Plague humanoidsCrocodile Hide Piece, co-farmed swamp material for the same station upgrades2828Chest Locations and Capacities3030In addition to Plague enemy drops, Quagmire Powder is stockpiled inside chests at Cursed Swamps points of interest. The most productive are ruined swamp settlements and priestess hut clusters, where tablet-marked crypts can hold sizable caches. Individual crypt chests have been reported holding up to 11 units in a single container, making a chest-clearing route a valid alternative to grinding Plague Witches for players who want to minimize direct combat.3232Chest spawns do not regenerate once looted in a given world, so treat them as a one-time supplementary source rather than a sustained farm. After a swamp is cleared of named POI chests, ongoing Quagmire Powder supply has to come from respawning Plague enemies.3434Details3636Properties3838PropertyValueWeight0.0Stack304040Where Found4141Where FoundDetailWhere FoundQty Chance Locations
