The Forge Ore Location Guide
Stonewake’s Cross Ores: Your Mining Journey Begins
Stonewake’s Cross serves as your introduction to the world of The Forge. This starting zone is perfect for new players, as the starter pickaxe works fine on all rock types here. You’ll find everything from common stones to surprisingly rare epic ores hidden in these early rocks.
Common Ores (Stonewake’s Cross)
These are the bread and butter of early game forging. While common, they’re essential for your first equipment upgrades and understanding the basic mechanics.
| Ore | Drop Chance | Source Rocks | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stone | 1/1 (100%) | Pebbles | $3 | 0.2x |
| Sand Stone | 1/2 (50%) | Pebbles, Rocks | $3.75 | 0.25x |
| Copper | 1/3 (33%) | Pebbles, Rocks, Boulders | $4.5 | 0.3x |
| Iron | 1/5 (20%) | Pebbles, Rocks, Boulders | $5.25 | 0.35x |
| Cardboardite | 1/31 (3.2%) | Rocks, Boulders | $10.5 | 0.7x |
Pro Tip: Don’t ignore Stone and Sand Stone! While they seem basic, you’ll need大量 quantities for early crafting and they sell quickly to fund your pickaxe upgrades.
Uncommon Ores (Stonewake’s Cross)
Once you’ve mastered the basics, these ores will start appearing more frequently. They offer better multipliers and sell prices, making them ideal for your first significant gear upgrades.
| Ore | Drop Chance | Source Rocks | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tin | 1/7 (14%) | Rocks, Boulders | $6.38 | 0.425x |
| Silver | 1/12 (8.3%) | Rocks, Boulders | $7.5 | 0.5x |
| Gold | 1/16 (6.25%) | Boulders only | $19.5 | 0.65x |
| Bananite | 1/30 (3.3%) | Rocks, Boulders | $12.75 | 0.85x |
Mining Strategy: Focus on Boulders when hunting for Gold – it’s the only rock type that drops this valuable early-game ore. The higher sell price makes it worth the extra effort.
Rare & Epic Ores (Stonewake’s Cross)
Yes, you can find rare and even epic ores in the starting zone! These drops are rare but can give you a significant early-game advantage if you’re lucky enough to find them.
| Ore | Rarity | Drop Chance | Source Rocks | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mushroomite | Rare | 1/22 (4.5%) | Rocks, Boulders | $12 | 0.8x |
| Platinum | Rare | 1/28 (3.6%) | Boulders only | $12 | 0.8x |
| Aite | Epic | 1/44 (2.3%) | Boulders only | $16.5 | 1.1x |
| Poopite | Epic | 1/131 (0.8%) | All rock types | $18 | 1.2x |
Special Note: Poopite has a unique trait – it creates a stinking aura that keeps enemies away when used in armor crafting. This can be a lifesaver in early combat situations!
Special Relic Ore: Fichillium
| Ore | Rarity | Drop Chance | Source | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fichillium | Relic | 1/1 (100%) | Lucky Blocks | $0 | 0x |
Fichillium is a special relic ore that can only be found by breaking Lucky Blocks in Stonewake’s Cross. While it has no forging multiplier or sell value, collectors will want to add it to their index completion.
Forgotten Kingdom Ores: Mid-Game Powerhouse
After completing the initial quests, you’ll unlock the Forgotten Kingdom. This zone requires at least an Iron Pickaxe and introduces basalt-type rocks that contain much more valuable ores. This is where the real forging begins!
Uncommon Ores (Forgotten Kingdom)
These ores represent a significant step up from Stonewake’s Cross in terms of value and forging potential.
| Ore | Drop Chance | Source Rocks | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt | 1/37 (2.7%) | Basalt Rock, Core | $15 | 1x |
| Titanium | 1/50 (2%) | Basalt Rock, Core | $17.25 | 1.15x |
| Lapis Lazuli | 1/73 (1.4%) | Basalt Rock, Core | $19.5 | 1.3x |
Pro Tip: Lapis Lazuli is particularly valuable for early magic-focused builds due to its high multiplier and beautiful blue appearance in crafted gear.
Rare Ores (Forgotten Kingdom)
This is where you’ll find the gems that make mid-game gear truly special. Each has unique properties and increasingly rare drop rates.
| Ore | Drop Chance | Source Rocks | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier |

| Sapphire | 1/247 (0.4%) | Basalt Core, Vein | $33.75 | 2.25x |
Mining Strategy: Focus on Basalt Veins for the best chance at rare gems. They have higher drop rates for the valuable stones compared to regular Basalt Rocks.
Epic Ores (Forgotten Kingdom)
Epic ores in the Forgotten Kingdom are where you’ll find materials for serious endgame准备. These offer substantial multipliers and some come with powerful traits.
| Ore | Drop Chance | Source Rocks | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier | Special Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cuprite | 1/303 (0.3%) | Basalt Core, Vein, Volcanic | $36.45 | 2.43x | None |

| Rivalite | 1/569 (0.2%) | Basalt Vein, Volcanic | $49.95 | 3.33x | +20% Critical Strike (Weapons) |
Trait Spotlight: Rivalite is a game-changer for weapon builds, providing a significant 20% critical strike chance boost. This makes it highly sought after by DPS-focused players.
Legendary & Mythical Ores (Forgotten Kingdom)
These are the crown jewels of the Forgotten Kingdom. With extremely low drop rates, finding one of these is a moment to celebrate!
| Ore | Rarity | Drop Chance | Source Rocks | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier | Special Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uranium | Legendary | 1/777 (0.1%) | Basalt Vein | $66 | 3x | 5% Max HP AoE Damage (Armor) |

Endgame Strategy: For the best chance at mythical ores, focus on Volcanic Rocks in the Forgotten Kingdom. They drop both Demonite and Darkryte, the rarest ores in the game.
Goblin Cave Ores: Crystal Paradise
The Goblin Cave is a hidden area that becomes accessible after completing certain quests. This zone specializes in crystal ores, each with its own color and properties. You’ll need an Iron Pickaxe or better to mine these crystal nodes.
Crystal Ores (Goblin Cave)
Each crystal type has the same drop rate but comes in different colors. The real prizes are the legendary and arcane crystals.
| Ore | Rarity | Drop Chance | Source Crystals | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magenta Crystal Ore | Epic | 1/255 (0.4%) | Color Crystal Rocks | $37.55 | 2.5x |

| Arcane Crystal Ore | Epic | 1/100,000 (0.001%) | Color Crystal Rocks | $112.5 | 7.5x |
Crystal Farming Strategy: The Arcane Crystal Ore is the rarest ore in the entire game with a 1 in 100,000 drop chance! For the best farming results, target areas with high concentrations of crystal nodes and consider using luck-boosting equipment or potions.
Volcanic Depths Ores: Endgame Hunting Ground
The Volcanic Depths is the most dangerous and rewarding mining area in The Forge. This zone requires a Diamond Pickaxe or better and is home to the game’s most mythical ores. The volcanic activity here creates unique conditions that spawn the rarest materials.
Volcanic Depths Exclusive Ores
| Ore | Rarity | Drop Chance | Source | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier | Special Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Darkryte | Mythical | 1/5555 (0.02%) | Volcanic Rock | $94.5 | 6.3x | 15% Shadow Dodge Chance |

| Magmaite | Legendary | 1/3003 (0.03%) | Volcanic Rock | $75 | 5x | 35% AoE Explosion (Weapons) |
Volcanic Depths Pro Tip: This area is extremely dangerous but offers the highest concentration of mythical ores. Bring your best equipment, healing items, and consider teaming up with other players for safety.
Enemy Drops: Passive Ore Collection
Did you know you can get ores without even mining? Certain enemies in The Forge drop valuable ores when defeated. This is a great way to passively collect rare materials while focusing on combat or other activities.
| Ore | Rarity | Drop Chance | Source Enemies | Sell Price | Forge Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boneite | Rare | 1/222 (0.5%) | Various enemies | $18 | 1.2x |
| Dark Boneite | Rare | 1/555 (0.2%) | Skeleton-type enemies | $33.75 | 2.25x |
| Slimite | Epic | 1/247 (0.4%) | Slime-type enemies | $37.55 | 2.25x |
Enemy Farming Strategy: Focus on areas with high concentrations of skeleton or slime enemies if you’re specifically hunting for these drops. The drop rates are low but consistent, making this a viable supplemental farming method.
Complete Ore Traits Guide: What Each Ore Does
Understanding ore traits is crucial for building effective gear in The Forge. Each trait provides unique bonuses that can dramatically change your playstyle. Here’s the complete breakdown of every ore trait and what it does:
Weapon Traits
| Ore | Trait Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Rivalite | +20% Critical Strike Chance | DPS builds, burst damage |
| Fireite | 30% chance to deal 20% weapon DMG as Burn for 2 seconds | Sustained damage, DoT builds |
| Magmaite | 35% chance to explode on hit, dealing 50% weapon DMG as AoE | Crowd control, area damage |
| Demonite | 15% chance to deal 20% weapon DMG as Burn for 2 seconds | Hybrid damage dealers |
| Eye Ore | +15% damage boost (with -10% HP penalty) | Glass cannon builds |
Armor Traits
| Ore | Trait Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Uranium | Deals AoE damage equal to 5% of your max HP when in combat | Tank builds, area denial |

Universal Traits (Work on Weapons or Armor)
| Ore | Trait Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Eye Ore | +15% damage boost, -10% HP penalty | High risk, high reward |
Advanced Forging Mechanics: Scaling & Mixing
Understanding how ore traits scale and interact is key to creating the most powerful gear in The Forge. Here are the advanced mechanics that most guides don’t cover:
Trait Scaling System
- Minimum Requirement: You need at least 10% of an ore in your crafting recipe to activate its trait
- Maximum Effect: Traits scale to their full power at 30% ore concentration
- Scaling Range: Between 10-30%, trait effects scale linearly
- Example: Using 15% Rivalite gives you 10% critical strike chance (half of the maximum 20%)
Ore Mixing for Multiple Traits
One of the most powerful features in The Forge is the ability to mix multiple ores to combine their traits:
- Trait Stacking: You can have multiple traits on a single piece of gear
- No Limit: There’s no hard limit on how many traits you can combine
- Strategic Combinations: Some traits work better together than others
Powerful Trait Combinations:
- Rivalite + Fireite: Critical strikes that also burn enemies
- Obsidian + Uranium: Tanky armor that deals AoE damage
- Darkryte + Lightite: Evasive armor with increased movement speed
- Magmaite + Demonite: Explosive attacks with burn damage
Forging Math Example
Let’s say you’re crafting a sword with the following ore composition:
- 40% Iron (base material)
- 25% Rivalite (for critical strike chance)
- 20% Fireite (for burn damage)
- 15% Copper (filler material)
Resulting Traits:
- Rivalite: 25% concentration → ~16.7% critical strike chance
- Fireite: 20% concentration → ~13.3% burn chance
- Total trait activation: Both traits active at reduced effectiveness
Mining Efficiency Guide: Maximize Your Ore Collection
Getting the most out of your mining sessions requires more than just knowing where to mine. Here are the pro strategies I’ve learned from hundreds of hours in The Forge:
Pickaxe Progression Path
| Pickaxe | Power Required | Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Pickaxe | 10 Power | Free | Stonewake’s Cross |
| Iron Pickaxe | 25 Power | $2,500 | Forgotten Kingdom, Goblin Cave |
| Gold Pickaxe | 50 Power | $7,500 | Faster mining in mid-game zones |
| Diamond Pickaxe | 100 Power | $25,000 | Volcanic Depths, endgame content |
| Lightning Pickaxe | 150 Power | $50,000 | Maximum efficiency, all zones |
Pro Tip: Upgrade your pickaxe as soon as possible. The time saved on mining faster will quickly pay for itself in increased ore collection rates.
Optimal Mining Routes
Stonewake’s Cross Route
- Start at the spawn area and clear all Pebbles
- Move clockwise around the zone hitting all Rocks
- Finish with the Boulders in the center
- Time per loop: ~3 minutes
- Best target: Boulders (highest chance for rare ores)
Forgotten Kingdom Route
- Begin at the entrance and clear Basalt Rocks
- Move to the Basalt Core cluster in the center
- Follow the Basalt Vein path to the Volcanic Rocks
- Time per loop: ~5 minutes
- Best target: Basalt Veins (highest gem drop rates)
Goblin Cave Route
- Clear the entrance crystal cluster
- Move through the main cavern hitting all crystal types
- End at the legendary crystal spawn point
- Time per loop: ~4 minutes
- Best target: Any crystal (equal drop rates)
Luck Enhancement Strategies
Several factors can improve your ore drop rates:
- Race Bonuses: Certain races have mining luck bonuses
- Luck Potions: Temporary boost to drop rates
- Equipment: Some gear pieces increase mining luck
- Time of Day: Some players report better drops during certain in-game times
- Server Population: Less crowded servers may have better drop rates
Pro Strategy: Use luck potions during mining sessions in high-tier zones for the best results. The increased drop rates on rare ores will more than pay for the potion cost.
Money Making Guide: Most Valuable Ores to Farm
If you’re looking to make gold quickly, focusing on the right ores can make a huge difference. Here are the most profitable ores to target in each zone:
Stonewake’s Cross Money Makers
| Ore | Profit per Hour | Difficulty | Best Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | ~15,000/hour | Easy | Boulder farming |
| Poopite | ~8,000/hour | Medium | All rock types |
| Aite | ~6,000/hour | Hard | Boulder-only |
Forgotten Kingdom Money Makers
| Ore | Profit per Hour | Difficulty | Best Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sapphire | ~25,000/hour | Medium | Basalt Vein farming |
| Rivalite | ~20,000/hour | Hard | Basalt Vein + Volcanic |
| Diamond | ~18,000/hour | Medium | Basalt Vein focus |
Goblin Cave Money Makers
| Ore | Profit per Hour | Difficulty | Best Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arcane Crystal | ~100,000/hour | Extreme | All crystal types |
| Rainbow Crystal | ~30,000/hour | Very Hard | Crystal node rotation |
Top Money Making Strategy: For maximum profit, split your time between Forgotten Kingdom (Sapphire farming) and Goblin Cave (crystal farming). This provides a steady income with occasional huge payouts from rare crystals.
Common Mining Mistakes to Avoid
After watching hundreds of players and making plenty of mistakes myself, here are the most common errors to avoid:
Beginner Mistakes
- Ignoring basic ores: Stone and Copper may seem boring, but you’ll need them for crafting
- Not upgrading pickaxe: Sticking with the starter pickaxe too long
- Selling everything: Keep some rare ores for crafting instead of selling
- Mining alone in dangerous zones: The Volcanic Depths can be deadly solo
Intermediate Mistakes
- Focusing on one ore type: Diversity is key for good crafting options
- Ignoring enemy drops: You’re missing free ores by not fighting enemies
- Not using luck boosts: Potions and equipment make a big difference
- Poor route planning: Inefficient mining wastes valuable time
Advanced Mistakes
- Overlooking trait combinations: The real power comes from mixing ores
- Not tracking market prices: Ore values fluctuate based on demand
- Ignoring the Volcanic Depths: Too many players avoid this lucrative zone
- Poor inventory management: Running out of space during good mining sessions
FAQ
How do I unlock the Goblin Cave in The Forge?
The Goblin Cave is unlocked by completing specific quests in the Forgotten Kingdom. Look for the NPC that gives you the “Secret Entrance” questline. You’ll need at least an Iron Pickaxe to enter and mine the crystal ores inside.
What’s the rarest ore in The Forge?
The Arcane Crystal Ore is currently the rarest ore in The Forge with a 1 in 100,000 drop chance from any crystal node in the Goblin Cave. It sells for $112.5 and has a massive 7.5x forge multiplier.
Do luck potions actually work for ore drops?
Yes, luck potions significantly increase your chances of getting rare ores. Players report 2-3x better drop rates on legendary and mythical ores when using luck potions. They’re especially effective in high-level zones like the Volcanic Depths.
Can I get mythical ores outside the Volcanic Depths?
Yes, but it’s much rarer. Demonite and Darkryte can technically drop from Volcanic Rocks in the Forgotten Kingdom, but the Volcanic Depths has a much higher concentration of these rocks and better drop rates.
What’s the best pickaxe for ore farming?
The Lightning Pickaxe is the best overall pickaxe with 150 power, allowing you to mine anything in the game quickly. However, the Diamond Pickaxe (100 power) offers the best value for money and can handle everything except the toughest nodes.
How do ore traits stack when mixing multiple ores?
Ore traits scale based on the percentage used in crafting. You need at least 10% of an ore to activate its trait, and it reaches full power at 30%. You can mix multiple ores to combine their traits on a single piece of gear.
Is it better to sell rare ores or use them for crafting?
For early to mid-game, it’s usually better to sell most rare ores and buy crafted gear from other players. In late game, you’ll want to save the best ores (especially mythical ones) for crafting your own endgame equipment.
What’s the fastest way to farm money in The Forge?
The fastest money-making method is farming Arcane Crystals in the Goblin Cave, but due to their extreme rarity, a more consistent method is farming Sapphires in the Forgotten Kingdom’s Basalt Veins while occasionally hunting for Rainbow Crystals.
Do different races affect mining luck?
Yes, certain races have innate bonuses to mining luck and speed. The Dwarf race, in particular, is known for mining bonuses that make ore farming more efficient.
How often do ore drop rates change?
Ore drop rates are relatively stable but can be adjusted during game updates. Check the official The Forge Discord for patch notes and changes to drop rates.
Final Thoughts
Mastering ore collection in The Forge is a journey that takes you from the humble rocks of Stonewake’s Cross to the mythical treasures of the Volcanic Depths. Along the way, you’ll develop strategies, learn the intricacies of the forging system, and hopefully collect some incredibly rare ores.
Remember that patience is key – those 1 in 5555 drop rate mythical ores do exist, and someone has to find them. With the strategies in this guide, you’re now equipped with the knowledge to maximize your chances of being that lucky player.
