If you are looking for a complete Roblox The Forge guide, this article will walk you through everything you need to know. From mining ores and upgrading pickaxes to forging weapons, crafting armor, using runes, and choosing races, The Forge offers deep progression and customization. Understanding these systems early will help you progress faster and create stronger gear.

First of all, what is the Roblox The Forge game about?

The Forge is a mining-and-crafting RPG on Roblox where players gather ores, forge equipment, enhance gear, and fight enemies. Unlike simple simulator games, The Forge combines skill-based crafting, resource management, and combat progression. 

Your success depends on how well you mine, forge, and customize your items.

The Forge Ores are the core of progression

Ores are the backbone of The Forge. Everything you craft — weapons, armor, and upgrades — depends on the ores you collect.

Ore rarity and value

Ores come in different rarity levels:

• Common
• Uncommon
• Rare
• Epic
• Legendary / Mythical

Higher-rarity ores are harder to find but give better stat multipliers when used in crafting. These multipliers directly affect weapon damage, armor health, and overall item quality.

Mining and ore usage

You can use ores in two ways:

1. Forge gear: Use ores to create weapons and armor.
2. Sell for gold: Useful early game when you need money for better tools.

Mixing low and high-rarity ores lowers the final result, so for the best The Forge gear, focus on using mostly high-rarity ores.

Pickaxes make mining faster and smarter

The Forge pickaxes determine how fast you mine and how lucky you are when finding rare ores. A stronger pickaxe is one of the best early investments.

Pickaxe stats

Most pickaxes have:

• Mine power: Determines how much damage your pickaxe deals to rocks. Higher mine power lets you break rocks faster and mine tougher boulders that weaker pickaxes cannot break.
• Mining speed: A percentage that affects how quickly your pickaxe swings. Positive values increase swing speed, while negative values slow it down.
• Luck boost: Increases the chance of finding rare and high-tier ores when mining. Higher luck means better odds of getting valuable ores.
• Rune slots: The number of runes you can equip on the pickaxe. Runes add special bonuses, such as extra ore drops or stat boosts.

Higher-tier pickaxes increase efficiency and make rare-ore farming much easier. Since stronger ores result in better gear, upgrading your pickaxe is essential for long-term progression. Need more details? This Roblox The Forge pickaxe guide covers everything you need to know.

Forging weapons in The Forge

Weapons define your combat style. The Forge features a unique forging system with crafting mini-games that affect weapon quality.

Weapon types

The number and rarity of ores used determine what type of weapon you get and how strong it becomes.

Crafting mini-games

When forging, you must complete mini-games like:

• Smelting
• Pouring
• Shaping

Better performance improves final stats. Skill matters as much as materials.

Want to survive? Get a good armor

Armor increases health and defense, allowing you to survive stronger enemies.

Enhancing and enchanting gear

Forged gear can be upgraded further through enhancement and runes. Enhancing increases base stats and can unlock rune slots. However:

• Enhancements can fail
• Failure may downgrade the item

This makes enhancement risky but very rewarding.

Get powerful item effects with runes

Runes add special effects to pickaxes, weapons, and armor.

Common rune effects

• Fire damage over time
• Poison damage
• Life steal
• Increased ore drops
• Speed or damage boosts

Runes add a high level of customization, allowing two players with the same weapon to perform very differently depending on their rune choices. Check out our Roblox The Forge rune guide to learn how to make your weapon stand out.

Races: Passive buffs matter

In The Forge, players can reroll their race, giving passive bonuses. Depending on race, you may gain:

• More health
• Faster movement
• Higher damage
• Better mining luck
