The Forge Beginner Guide
Starter to mid-game roadmap: pickaxe-first progression, best races, money loops, and critical quests to unlock Forgotten Kingdom quickly.
Core Goal: Rush Pickaxes
Your first 10-20 hours are all about money and pickaxe upgrades. Armor and weapons can wait until you secure the Arcane Pickaxe.
- Main path: Bronze → Iron → Platinum → Cobalt → Uranium → Mythril → Arcane
- Skip: Titanium and Lightite (poor value compared to Mythril/Arcane)
- Money loop: Mine → Craft Heavy Chestplates → Sell → Repeat
- Quest priority: Finish Sensei Morrow tutorial, Bard guitar key, then Island 2 dailies
Getting Started
Spawn at Stone Wakes Cross and clear Sensei Morrow's tutorial quests in 30-40 minutes.
- Follow the tutorial markers to learn mining, forging, and selling.
- Grab the Iron Pickaxe reward at the end of the tutorial.
- Keep mining basic ores and stockpiling cash for the Platinum Pickaxe.
- Explore deeper cave sections by sneaking past zombies to reach better ores.
Basic Loop
- Enter cave → mine ores → bring to surface.
- Forge weapons/armor to sell for cash.
- Upgrade pickaxe ASAP to unlock higher-tier ores.
- Claim Index rewards whenever you discover new ores, items, or enemies.
Redeem Codes First
Codes grant free rerolls plus temporary luck/mining boosts. Redeem before crafting to avoid wasting stats.
View All Roblox Codes- Rerolls: Re-randomize crafted gear stats.
- Luck Totems: Temporary drop-rate boosts.
- Mining Totems: Faster mining speed.
Race Rolling Priorities
Roll during the tutorial. If you close the menu, open Backpack → Shop → Roll Section → Go to Race Menu or visit the Wizard in the tower above Greedy Vendor.
Angel
Top mining bonuses; extremely rare.
Demon
Top combat bonuses; extremely rare.
Dwarf
Great mining option if you miss Angel.
Shadow
Solid fighting bonuses.
Dragonborn
Good all-round fighter.
Race rolls are pure RNG. Don't stall progress—keep playing with any good mining/fighting race.
Pickaxe Progression
- Skip Titanium/Lightite: Poor efficiency for their cost.
- Upgrade trigger: Move up as soon as you can afford the next pickaxe.
- Use ores smartly: Sell crafted armor to fund upgrades.
Stone Wakes Cross (Island 1)
Goals
- Finish Sensei Morrow tutorial.
- Claim Iron Pickaxe reward.
- Buy the Platinum Pickaxe.
- Complete Bard's Quest to unlock the secret cave.
- Reach Level 10 and clear "End of the Beginning".
Bard's Guitar Quest
- Talk to Bard near spawn campfire.
- Enter cave, turn left at Nord.
- Drop down near plant stack into secret cave.
- Pick up Bard's guitar on the rock.
- Return to Bard for the key, then unlock the cage door inside the cave.
Forgotten Kingdom (Island 2)
Unlocked after Level 10 and "End of the Beginning". Start mid-game grind here.
Goals
- Buy Cobalt immediately.
- Progress toward Mythril → Arcane.
- Begin Morrow quest line on Island 2.
- Do daily quests for steady income.
Travel Tip
Use the cannon at spawn to reach the small island—climb to find the Monkey NPC for a quick cash quest.
Money Making Loop
Craft and sell Heavy Chestplates for the best beginner cash per ore. Avoid keeping early armor—it's not needed later.
- Mine ores → forge Heavy Chestplates → sell everything.
- Check Index tab (backpack) and claim all ore/forge/enemy rewards.
- Sell old pickaxes after upgrading.
- Use quests and dailies to bridge gaps between pickaxe tiers.
Important Quests (Island 2)
Monkey NPC
$12,000 for 30 Banana Ores (from Island 1).
Masked Stranger
$10,000 daily quest—do it every day.
Morrow & Isaac
Good XP + cash; start immediately (Isaac is on top via cannon).
Captain Rowan
Huge XP chain—progress whenever available.
Amber Daily
Inside the danger cave; consistent daily income.
Cooperation & Etiquette
- Help combat: Both players get rewards and quest credit—no kill stealing worries.
- Respect mining: Rocks lock to the first miner; avoid rushing others' routes.
- Team for bosses: Faster clears and safer farming when grinding quests.
Ores to Save
Keep these for mid/late-game crafting—don't sell them.
Never sell Demonite—it's critical for end-game recipes.
