The Forge Forging Guide

Forging Weapons and Armor are part of the core gameplay in The Forge. See the steps taken in order to make your own equipment here!

How to Forge Weapons and Armor

How to Forge Weapons and Equipment
1. Gather Materials Needed
2. Select Your Ore
3. Blow Wind to the Furnace
4. Match Arrow in Yellow Zone to Pour
5. Time Your Strikes Right

Gather Materials Needed

Mining Ores

Before you can even begin Forging your equipment, you have to have some Ores on hand. They can be mined using your Pickaxe on Pebbles, Rocks, and Crystals.

Your chances of obtaining rarer materials, compared to common ones, will depend on your current World, equipped Pickaxe, and factors that affect your Luck stat.

Select Your Ore

Selecting Ores for Forging

Once you have enough ores collected, head on over to your current World's forge to begin the process. Select if you want to forge a weapon or a piece of armor, then choose your materials.

You need to have at least three pieces of material in order to begin forging, regardless of them being different or the same.

List of All Ores and Traits

Blow Wind to the Furnace

Blow Air into Furnace

The first step of the Forging Process is to melt the materials. You need to blow wind into the furnace using the tool on the left side my moving it up and down. Continue to do so until the meter on the right side of the screen is filled up.

Match Arrow in Yellow Zone to Pour

With the materials melted, you have to pour it to a cast. Move the cursor on the meter and maintain it in a moving yellow zone to continue the pouring process.

Time Your Strikes Right

Time Your Strikes Right

With the material smelted into the armor or weapon shape, now its time to shape it with hammer strikes. Time you strikes right with a moving circle as close as possible to a static circle. The better the timing, the better the end product. Try to hit Good, Great or Perfect on your strikes.

After the weapon is cooled down via water, the weapon or material is ready to be used!

Count Ore for Item Types

The Forge Item Type Affected by Ore Count

The amount of ore used during forging greatly affects your chances of obtaining specific armor or weapon types. Using the correct ore combinations can give you the highest possible chance to forge your intended item type.

Note that while ore count affects the chance of obtaining a specific weapon or armor type, the exact item you receive from that type is determined by a separate random pool. This second layer of randomness is not influenced by ore type and is purely chance-based.

Weapon Ore Count Breakdown

Weapon Type Ore Count Percentage
Dagger 3 100%
Straight Sword 6 86%
Gauntlets
(World 1-2 Only)
9 65%
Mace
(World 3 Only)
9 65%
Axe 12 72%
Spear 16 69%
Great Axe 22 67%
Colossal Sword 36+ 61%+

The table above shows the complete ore count needed to reach the highest forging chance available for each weapon type. Note that weapon ore counts for the Gauntlets and Mace are only applicable depending on your current world.

List of All Weapons

Armor Ore Count Breakdown

Weapon Type Ore Count Percentage
Light Helmet 3 100%
Light Leggings 8 67%
Light Chestplate 10 86%
Medium Helmet 13 60%
Medium Leggings 17 57%
Medium Chestplate 21 63%
Heavy Helmet 26 51%
Heavy Leggings 30 49%
Heavy Chestplate 36+ 64%+

This is based on World 3 Forge Standards.

This table details the ore count needed to get the highest forging chance possible for each armor type. Note that these counts are based on the forging chances in World 3 and may vary slightly depending on your current world.

Pay Attention to Ore Multipliers

The Forge Multipliers Affected While Forging

Adding more ore to the forge increases the overall item multiplier, which is calculated by averaging the multipliers of all ores used. For this reason, we recommend forging weapons and armor with ores that have the highest multipliers possible.

You can still include lower-multiplier ores, as long as they are offset by higher-multiplier ones to maximize the final result.

Maximize Ore Traits

The Forge Maximize Ore Traits

Some high-rarity ores come with Traits that are only applied to an item if used in sufficient quantity during forging. The ideal ratio is 30%, meaning that to apply a specific trait, that ore must make up 30% of your ore blend.

For example, if you’re using 9 ores in total, you’d want to use 3 different ore types with 3 of each to ensure all three traits are applied.

Purchase the Fast Forge Gamepass

The Forge Purchase the Fast Forge Gamepass

One way to speed up forging is to purchase the Fast Forge Gamepass for 119 Robux. Although it doesn't automatically complete the forging process, this feature lets you skip the wind-blowing and pouring steps, making it faster. It can be toggled on or off at any time, so you can still go through every forging step if you'd like.
