the forge setup

The Forge is one of the hottest Roblox games right now, with hundreds of thousands of players mining deep underground, forging powerful gear, and battling enemies. It’s a fun mix of mining simulator, crafting, and RPG combat.

This easy-to-read tier list is based on the latest community consensus from top guides (like Pocket Tactics, GameSpot, Destructoid, and Pro Game Guides), player feedback, and recent patches. Rankings focus on what’s strongest for endgame: farming rare ores, PVP, bosses, and overall progression. Remember, the best choice also depends on your playstyle – have fun experimenting!

Race Tier List

Races are random at the start (with a few free rerolls). You can reroll more using codes or the Wizard NPC. Rare ones (0.5% chance) are usually the strongest because of huge buffs to damage, luck, mobility, or mining.

TierBest RacesWhy They’re Great
SAngel, DemonTop picks! Angel gives massive luck (+25-30%) for rare ores and amazing mobility (wings, better dash/jump). Demon boosts damage (+20% physical/fire) with strong combat perks like burn auras. Perfect for any build.
ADragonborn, Golem, Minotaur, Dwarf, GoblinSolid alternatives. Dragonborn adds HP and burn damage. Golem tanks hits. Dwarf speeds up mining. Goblin gives shop discounts (save tons of gold on pickaxes!).
BShadow, Orc, ElfDecent – Shadow dodges attacks, Orc is tanky, Elf has stamina/luck. Good for specific styles.
CUndead, ZombieOkay survival perks (like regen or reflect), but big downsides like low HP.
DHumanBasic small buffs – reroll if you get this early!

Quick Tip: Aim for Angel if you love farming ores, or Demon for pure combat power.

Weapons Tier List

Weapons come from forging ores (minigame skill matters!). Best ones balance high damage, speed, and range. Colossal swords and katanas are meta favorites.

TierTop Weapon TypesExamples & Strengths
SColossal Sword, Straight Sword (Chaos), Katana (Uchigatana/Tachi), Great SwordHighest DPS! Dragon Slayer/Skull Crusher hit hard with range. Chaos has fast attacks. Comically Large Spoon/Crusader Sword are fun and strong.
AHammer, Scythe, Double Axe, GauntletsGreat damage, good for heavy hits or crowd control.
BDaggers, Cutlass, GlovesFast but shorter range – good for quick styles.
C/DRapier, Hook, Basic DaggerLower damage/speed – forge better combos!

Forging Tip: Use rare ores like Eye Ore or Magmaite for effects (burn/poison). Add runes for extra power.

Advanced Tips to Progress Faster

In the early stage, your goal is to build a strong foundation. Using Stonewake’s Pickaxe together with the Dwarf race gives you a solid boost to mining speed and efficiency. This setup works best when grinding in the Forgotten Kingdom, where you can level up quickly and gather reliable resources without much risk.

Once you reach the mid game, it’s time to upgrade your gear and move into tougher zones. Switching to Mythril equipment and playing as an Angel gives you better survivability and damage. With this setup, you should focus on the Volcanic Depths, especially areas with Magma and Demonic enemies, as they offer better drops and faster progression.

In the late game, optimization matters more than speed. The strongest setup combines the Demonic Pickaxe, the Demon race, and the Dragon Slayer bonus. At this point, farming Eye Ore becomes the main objective, as it’s the best source for high-quality, god-roll gear.

For runes, adding Flame Spark to weapons is highly effective because the burn damage scales well over time. On pickaxes, Ward Patch helps with durability and consistency during long farming sessions.

If you’re considering gamepasses, 2× Luck is the only one that truly pays off. It significantly improves drop quality and saves hours of grinding, especially in the late game.

This meta can shift with updates, so join the official Discord for the newest info. Grind smart, forge strong, and dominate The Forge! ⚒️ If you have questions about a specific build, let me know.
