The Hammer of Proving is a quest item from the Season of the Chosen.
Overview
This item is obtained while on the Challenger's Proving quest.
The Hammer can be socketed with Medallions and Runes which affect drops from the Battleground Tribute Chests. Forging them requires Cabal Gold, which drops from completing various activities, but only after the player obtains the Hammer. The Tribute Chests spawn along with the ordinary reward chests, but they appear only in the Battleground playlist available from the Vanguard Director. By interacting with a Tribute Chest, the player smashes it with the Hammer to receive their reward and a Hammer Charge. These Charges are used to focus Umbral Engrams at the Prismatic Recaster.
The War Table offers upgrades to the Hammer of Proving.
