What is The Forge?
The Forge is a popular Roblox mining and crafting RPG where players mine ores, forge powerful weapons and armor, and battle enemies. The game features a deep crafting system based on ore multipliers and traits that determine the quality and abilities of your equipment.
Success in The Forge requires understanding probability mechanics, ore combinations, and strategic choices about races, weapons, and builds. This guide will teach you everything you need to get started and progress efficiently.
Getting Started
Step 1: Complete the Tutorial
When you first join, complete all tutorial quests. They provide free starting gear, teach basic mechanics, and give you your first pickaxe. Don't skip these - the rewards are valuable for early progression.
Step 2: Mine Your First Ores
Head to Stonewake's Cross and start mining. Focus on gathering Stone, Copper, and Iron. Don't worry about rare ores yet - you'll need common materials for your first crafts.
Step 3: Craft Basic Equipment
Visit the forge and create your first weapon using 3-4 ores. Even a basic Iron weapon is much better than fists. Don't stress about perfect rolls - you'll craft many weapons as you progress.
Mining Basics
How Mining Works
Each rock you mine has a chance to drop different ores. Rarer ores have lower drop rates - for example, Galaxite only drops 1 in 1,000,000 times! Your pickaxe determines which areas you can mine and may provide luck bonuses.
Higher multiplier = stronger equipment. Galaxite has 11.5x!

Understanding the Forge
The forge combines your ores into weapons or armor. The final item's stats depend on the weighted average of ore multipliers. Higher total multiplier = higher chance for better rarity outcomes (Basic, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Godly).
- Minimum 3 ores required for any craft
- Traits activate at 10%+ ore composition
- More ores = more consistent results
