Advanced Strategies for The Forge
Optimal Mining Strategy
To maximize ore gathering in The Forge, focus on getting the Arcane Pickaxe first by completing Bard's Lost Guitar quest. The Arcane Pickaxe provides +200% mining speed, making it essential for efficient resource gathering. Plan your mining depth based on the ores you need for your current crafting goals.
Forging Mastery
Master the 3-step manual forging minigame to consistently create high-quality items. Normal quality is the baseline, but aiming for Masterwork quality significantly increases item stats. Practice the timing and pattern recognition to achieve consistent Masterwork results for your most important gear.
Quest Prioritization
Prioritize Bard's Lost Guitar quest early to unlock the Arcane Pickaxe. This tool accelerates all subsequent mining activities. Complete the Goblin King quest only after accumulating sufficient resources for all five escalating tributes. Save rare gems like Rubies for the final tribute.
Resource Management
Don't waste rare ores on low-tier crafting. Save Mithril, Demonite, and Adamantite for end-game equipment. Use common ores (Iron, Copper, Silver) for practice and basic gear. Always maintain a stockpile of Gold for quest tributes and essential upgrades.
Race Selection Strategy
Choose your race based on your playstyle. For PVP-focused players, Shadow (A-tier) with dodge chance is the meta. For end-game content, Demon (S-tier Mythical) provides unmatched damage. Use race reroll codes from the wiki to maximize your chances of getting your desired race.
