The Forge Beginner Guide

Mining in The Forge

Mining is the first activity you will learn in the game.

To start mining:

• Equip your Pickaxe using Slot 2.
• Enter The Cave.
• Hit the rocks until they break.

Each rock gives you random ores based on RNG (luck). Common ores drop often, but rare ores are harder to find and are needed for powerful weapons.

Tip: Better pickaxes = faster mining + better progression.

Pickaxes

To unlock stronger pickaxes:

• Go to Miner Fred’s Stall in the World 1 lobby.
• Buy the best pickaxe you can afford.

Stronger pickaxes allow you to:

• Break rocks faster
• Get more ores
• Progress quicker

Combat

Combat in The Forge is simple but timing is important.

How Combat Works

• Light Attack: Fast swipe for quick damage.
• Heavy Attack: Slower but stronger hit.
• Block: Reduces incoming damage.

Perfect Block (Parry)

If you time your block perfectly, you trigger a Parry, which stuns enemies. This gives you a chance to deal huge damage safely.

Tip: Parrying becomes powerful during boss fights.

Forging Weapons and Armour

Forging is the core mechanic of the game. You need ores to craft weapons or armour.

To Forge Items

• Go to The Forge in the main area.
• Interact with it to start crafting.
• Select the item you want to create.
• Insert up to 4 different ores.
• Each ore affects item stats and rarity.
• Your chosen ores directly change the weapon’s multipliers.

A menu on the left side shows your odds of crafting better-tier items.

Steps to Forge an Item

1. Interact with The Forge

Choose the weapon or armour you want.

2. Add Ores

Click ores to place them into the crafting slots (max 4 per craft).

3. Check Stats Multiplier

Below your ores, you will see the stat boosts that your item will get.

4. Play the Minigames

To finish the forging process, you must complete three minigames.

The Three Forging Minigames

1st Minigame – Heating the Ore

• Hold and swipe the mouse up and down.
• This heats and melts your ore.
• The faster and smoother you swipe, the better the heat level.

2nd Minigame – Casting the Weapon

• Hold and release the mouse.
• Keep the pointer inside the highlighted bar on the right.
• After casting, click the mold on the anvil to break it and reveal the weapon.

3rd Minigame – Striking and Quenching

• Tap the circles when the outer ring shrinks to the inner ring.
• Perfect timing gives 100% quality.
• After finishing, wait for the animation and then quench the weapon to complete it.

Upgrade Your Gear in The Forge

Upgrading is very important because enemies get stronger as you progress.

There are two upgrade systems:

1. Enhancing
2. Runes

Enhancing

Enhancing must be completed before you can add runes.

To enhance gear:

• Use Essences from defeated enemies.
• Higher enhancement levels make your weapon stronger.
• Enhancing is required for better late-game builds.

Tip: Farm essences in The Cave to upgrade faster.

Runes

Runes give your gear extra buffs.

How Runes Work

• Every weapon and armour has rune slots.
• You can put runes inside these slots for added effects like:
  • Poison
  • Burn
  • Freeze
  • Crit Damage
  • Defense Boost

Runes drop from enemies or can be removed from old gear and reused.

How to Get Achievement Buffs

Achievements give you permanent stat boosts or special abilities.

To use them:

• Open Inventory → Achievements Tab.
• Complete the milestone listed.
• Tap Equip Skill to activate the buff.

You can only equip one skill boost at a time.

How to Get Quests in The Forge

Quests help you progress faster.

You can get quests by:

• Talking to NPCs around the map
• Exploring areas like The Cave
• Interacting with characters during your adventure

Quests usually reward:

• Gold
• Essences
• Ores
• EXP
• Progress milestones
