Welcome to the most comprehensive The Forge Wiki and gameplay guide available! As someone who’s spent countless hours mining, forging, and battling through every corner of this incredible Roblox RPG, I’m excited to share everything you need to know to master The Forge. Whether you’re just starting or looking to optimize your late-game progression, this guide has you covered.

The Forge Game Overview

The Forge takes the familiar rhythm of Roblox bandit beaters like Blox Fruits and blends it with the luck-driven grind of games like Fisch. Everything revolves around returning to the forge, where the ores you mine determine the power of your gear. As you progress to harder locations with unique pickaxes, enemies, terrain, and drop rates will push your build to its limits.

Getting Started: Tutorial Quests Complete Walkthrough

When you first enter The Forge, you’ll be guided through a series of tutorial quests that teach you the core mechanics. Here’s every tutorial quest with detailed instructions:

1. Getting Started!

Objective: Talk to Sensei Moro
Rewards: Stone pickaxe, EXP
Tips: Find Sensei Moro next to the forging station at Stonewake’s Cross. He’s your main quest giver for the early game.

2. First Pickaxe!

Objectives: Open ‘Equipments’, Equip your stone pickaxe, Get six ore
Rewards: EXP
Tips: After talking to Sensei Moro, open your inventory (T on PC) and equip the stone pickaxe. Head to the nearby cave and mine rocks until you get 6 ore (about 4 hits each).

3. Learning to Forge!

Objectives: Forge two weapons
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Return to the forge and interact with it. Add at least 3 ores to the pot and select “Weapon.” You’ll need to complete four minigames:
1. Bellow Minigame: Hold the green button and move up/down to pump air
2. Line Minigame: Keep the white line inside the yellow bar
3. Hammer Block: Tap the metal block to break it
4. Timing Minigame: Tap when circles overlap perfectly for “Perfect” rating

4. Getting Equipped!

Objectives: Equip one weapon, Sell the other weapon
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Equip one of your forged weapons, then find Marbles (under the crossed swords sign) to sell the other. This teaches you about inventory management and making money.

5. New Pickaxe!

Objectives: Purchase bronze pickaxe, Get ten ore, Kill one zombie
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Buy the bronze pickaxe from Miner Fred for $150. Mine 10 ore (bronze pickaxe takes 7 hits per rock), then switch to your weapon to kill a zombie. Important: You must kill with a weapon, not your pickaxe!

6. Preparing for Battle!

Objectives: Forge two armors
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Return to the forge and select “Armor” instead of “Weapon.” The minigames are identical, but you’ll create defensive gear instead of weapons.

7. Forging Under Pressure

Objectives: Purchase iron pickaxe, Kill three zombies, Forge any three items, Get 35 ore
Rewards: EXP
Tips: The iron pickaxe costs more but mines faster. Be careful in deeper cave areas as zombies spawn at higher levels. Focus on survival while gathering ore.

8. Reporting In

Objective: Talk to Sensei Moro
Rewards: Small and large essences, EXP
Tips: Return to Sensei Moro to report your progress and receive valuable essences used for enhancing gear.

9. The First Upgrade

Objectives: Enhance any item to +3
Rewards: Runes, EXP
Tips: Visit the enhancer shop and enhance your best piece of equipment three times. This unlocks rune slots at +3 enhancement.

10. Runes of Power

Objectives: Attach a rune to any equipment
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Talk to the runemaker and attach a rune to your enhanced equipment. Runes provide powerful bonuses and are essential for late-game progression.

11. End of the Beginning

Objective: Talk to Sensei Moro
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Sensei Moro congratulates you on completing the tutorial and directs you to the next phase of your journey.

12. Everything Starts Now

Objectives: Talk to the Wizard
Rewards: Portal tool, EXP
Tips: Find the Wizard in his tower (up the hill between Marbles’ shop and the cave). He gives you a portal tool to access the Forgotten Kingdom once you reach level 10.

Complete Mining Guide

Mining is the foundation of progression in The Forge. Your success depends heavily on your pickaxe choice and mining strategy.

Pickaxe Progression System

Pickaxe	Cost	Mining Power	Luck	Best For
Stone	Free	1	1	Starting out

Pro Tips for Pickaxe Selection:

Mining Power determines which rocks you can break
Luck affects rare ore drop rates
Sometimes it’s better to save for a higher-tier pickaxe rather than buying incremental upgrades
The Arcane pickaxe requires completing the Lost Guitar quest for the Unknown Key
The Demonic pickaxe requires Demonite from late-game areas and the Demonite Key quest

Mastering the Forge: Complete Crafting Guide

Forging is where your ores become powerful gear. The quality of your forged items depends on both your materials and your skill in the minigames.

Understanding Forge Chances

When you add ores to the forge, you’ll see “Forge Chances” on the left side of the screen. This shows:

Probability percentages for different item types
Weight calculations based on ore quantities
Multiplier effects from rare ores

Key Forging Mechanics:

Quantity vs Quality: More ore doesn’t always mean better results
Primary Material: The ore you use most determines the base item type
Multiplier Stacking: Rare ores with high multipliers significantly boost stats
Trait Inheritance: Some ores pass special abilities to forged items

Complete Minigame Mastery

Each forging session includes four minigames that affect your final item quality:

1. Bellow Minigame

Objective: Fill the air bar by pumping the bellow
Technique: Hold green button and move up/down rhythmically
Impact: Affects overall crafting quality
Pro Tip: Maintain steady rhythm; don’t rush or you’ll lose progress

2. Line Minigame

Objective: Keep white line inside yellow bar
Technique: Tap/hold to raise the line, release to lower it
Impact: Determines material purity
Pro Tip: Anticipate the movement pattern; it’s not completely random

3. Hammer Block Minigame

Objective: Break the metal block
Technique: Simply tap the block multiple times
Impact: Reveals the basic item form
Pro Tip: Easiest minigame; just tap consistently

4. Timing Minigame

Objective: Tap when circles overlap perfectly
Technique: Wait for inner circle to turn green, then tap
Impact: Major effect on final stats and quality
Pro Tip: The green indicator is your cue; don’t anticipate too early
