The Forge: Updated Mining and Mineral Guide by Region

Mining in The Forge is one of the core pillars of the game’s progression system. Through this mechanic, players can obtain minerals with different rarity levels, economic values, and forging multipliers, distributed across multiple regions that gradually increase in difficulty.

Knowing which minerals exist, where they can be obtained, and how rare they are allows players to better plan exploration, optimize equipment forging, and understand the overall progression pace of the game. This guide brings together all minerals currently available in The Forge, organized by region and accompanied by key details regarding their acquisition and usefulness.

How the mineral system works in The Forge

Each mineral in the game is defined by four main elements:

• Rarity: ranging from common to relic or divine.
• Drop chance: expressed as a specific probability (for example, 1/100).
• Forging multiplier: directly affects weapon and armor enhancement.
• Source: rock, crystal, specific enemy, or special event.

As players progress through regions, drop chances decrease while multipliers increase, reinforcing the strategic nature of mining.

Stonewake’s Cross: the foundations of mining

Stonewake’s Cross is the starting region and contains the most accessible minerals in the game. Basic rocks and high drop chances dominate this area.

Minerals such as Stone, Sand Stone, Copper, and Iron are mainly obtained from Pebbles, Rocks, and Boulders, with probabilities ranging from guaranteed drops to 1/5. Their multipliers are low, but they play an essential role in the early stages.

Starting with Tin, Silver, and Gold, rarity increases slightly and sources such as Basalt Rock from the Forgotten Kingdom are introduced. Later, Mushroomite, Platinum, Bananite, and Cardboardite appear, featuring lower drop chances and higher forging value.

This region also includes higher-rarity minerals such as Aite and Poopite, both classified as epic, as well as Fichillium, a Relic-type mineral obtained exclusively from Lucky Blocks, with no economic value or forging multiplier.

Forgotten Kingdom: diversity and high-impact minerals

The Forgotten Kingdom introduces a significant increase in complexity. Here, minerals are tied to enemies, special veins, and basalt cores.

Cobalt and Titanium maintain moderate rarity, while Boneite and Dark Boneite depend directly on defeated enemies, with drop chances varying by creature.

In terms of gemstones, Quartz, Amethyst, Topaz, Diamond, and Sapphire stand out. These are obtained from Basalt Core and Basalt Vein, with multipliers exceeding 1.5x. Later on, epic minerals such as Emerald, Ruby, and Rivalite appear, with drop chances below 1/300.

The region culminates with legendary minerals like Uranium, Mythril, Eye Ore, Fireite, Magmaite, and Lightite, as well as the mythic minerals Demonite and Darkryte, obtained exclusively from Volcanic Rock.

Goblin Cave: the realm of crystals

The Goblin Cave is defined by a mining system almost entirely centered around crystals.

The Blue, Orange, Green, Magenta, and Crimson Crystals belong to the epic category and share a uniform drop chance of 1/255. From these, significantly rarer minerals can be obtained.

The Rainbow Crystal, classified as legendary, appears with a 1/5,000 chance. At the highest tier is the Arcane Crystal, a mythic mineral with a drop chance of 1/100,000.

Frostspire Expanse: mining under extreme conditions

Frostspire Expanse significantly increases both difficulty and forging multipliers. Although it begins with Grass, tied to a specific quest, it quickly introduces minerals with high strategic value.

Minerals such as Tungsten, Sulfur, Pumice, and Graphite are obtained from frozen formations. Later, Aetherit, Scheelite, and Larimar appear, associated with ice crystals.

The region features legendary minerals like Velchire, Sanctis, and Snowite, as well as mythic minerals such as Iceite, with multipliers exceeding 10x. It also includes Mosasursit, an exotic mineral obtained from Icebergs with guaranteed acquisition.

The Peak: elite minerals

The Peak represents one of the most advanced regions in the game. Here, even rare minerals have drop chances exceeding 1/2,600.

Minerals such as Mistvein, Lgarite, and Voidfractal mark the beginning of the region, followed by a wide range of epic minerals including Moltenfrost, Crimsonite, Malachite, Aqujade, Cryptex, and Galestor.

Among the most notable resources is Golem Heart, obtained exclusively from the Golem enemy. Extremely rare minerals such as Etherealite, Suryafal, Heavenite, and Gargantuan also appear, with drop chances reaching 1/333,333.

Raven Cave: the extreme of rarity

Raven Cave contains some of the most difficult minerals to obtain in The Forge.

Minerals like Frogite open the region, followed by legendary resources such as Moon Stone, Gulabite, and Coinite. At higher tiers are Duranite and Evil Eye, both mythic, as well as Stolen Heart, classified as divine.

The most emblematic resource is Heart of the Island, a Relic-type mineral with a drop chance of 1/123,456 from the rock of the same name.

Which is the rarest mineral in The Forge?

Currently, the Arcane Crystal is the mineral with the lowest drop chance in the game. It can only appear when mining crystals in the Goblin Cave and has a probability of 1 in 100,000.

Although it does not have an Ore Trait when used in forging, it maintains the highest multiplier available prior to future region expansions.

There are mentions of a mineral called Galaxite, observed on test servers. However, it is not officially available in the current version of The Forge.

The mineral system in The Forge is designed to reward progression, exploration, and persistence. Each region introduces new mechanics, sources of acquisition, and rarity tiers, making mining a strategic component of the game.

Understanding the distribution, probabilities, and value of each mineral allows players to make informed decisions, optimize forging, and progress efficiently within the The Forge ecosystem.
