The aetherium forges are excavation hotspots at the Stormguard Citadel - Howl's workshop excavation site that players can excavate after reaching level 112 Archaeology. They are located next to Howl's drafting bench, and accessing the area requires partial completion of the Howl's Floating Workshop mystery.

They initially appear as aerated sediment, requiring uncovering to become usable. Uncovering the hotspots yields a one-time reward of 748.5 Archaeology experience.
