The core loop is mine ores → forge weapons → fight and sell → buy better pickaxes → mine rarer ores. Start on Island 1, upgrade your pickaxe as soon as you can afford it, and spend free Race Rerolls from the working codes before grinding.

Getting started

  1. 1
    Mine ores

    Over 60 ore types across four islands. Deeper and later islands hold higher rarities - you need a stronger pickaxe (Mine Power) to break tougher rocks.

  2. 2
    Forge at the anvil

    Forging is skill-based: steady hands in the minigame produce higher-quality weapons with better stats. Each ore combination creates a unique weapon.

  3. 3
    Fight or sell

    Use what you make or sell it for gold. Nine weapon types - daggers to greatswords - with dash, block and heavy attacks (no parry).

  4. 4
    Enhance with runes

    Slot runes into weapons and armor for extra effects, and upgrade pickaxes to unlock better ore tiers.

Races

Races are rerolled classes with permanent buffs - rolled at the Wizard's Tower or from the Race menu (press T → Shop → Rerolls). Rerolls come from codes or Robux, and luck buffs do not affect race odds.

FAQ

Are there The Forge codes?

Yes - rerolls and totems. See The Forge codes.

What is The Forge based on?

Lead developer Fireatacck has said it grew from Jacksmith, the classic browser smithing game - the crafting minigame sits at the center of everything.

Best early goal?

Push pickaxe upgrades. Better pickaxes break stronger rocks, which is the only path to higher-rarity ores.
