Ruby is one of the rarest ores you can mine in The Forge, and it’s used to craft strong weapons and high-value materials. Many players waste hours mining in the wrong spots without knowing how Ruby actually works. This guide explains where Ruby spawns, how to increase your chances, and the best way to farm it without wasting time. Also check out our Roblox The Forge Beginner Guide for those interested and the Race Tier List.

Where Ruby Comes From

Ruby does not appear in every cave zone. It only drops from Basalt Veins, a dark volcanic-looking ore that stands out from regular rocks. You cannot get Ruby anywhere else, and it does not appear from mobs, chests, or other ores. If you want Ruby, you must mine Basalt.

Best Location to Farm Ruby

How To Get and Farm Ruby in The Forge Roblox Guide!

The best place to find Basalt Veins is inside the Volcanic Depths area. This zone has the highest spawn count for Basalt, making it the best farming spot for players who need Ruby. Tips for farming in Volcanic Depths:

  • Explore the deeper areas of the cave to find denser clusters.
  • Basalt is easy to spot due to its rough texture and dark red tint.
  • Stick to the main cave paths, as they usually spawn several veins close together.

Once you reach the area, start breaking every Basalt Vein you see. Even if you don’t get Ruby, Basalt itself is useful for crafting strong gear, so it’s never wasted. Ruby is not a guaranteed drop, even if you mine the right ore. The drop rate is around 1 in 500 Basalt Veins, meaning you need patience or better luck boosts to speed things up.

How To Increase Your Ruby Drop Chance

To make farming less painful, you can increase mining luck. Do the following:

  • Use a pickaxe with Luck runes (Minor runes are easy to farm).
  • Equip better pickaxes with higher base luck.
  • Use mining races like Dwarf for extra efficiency before you mine.
  • Upgrade your pickaxe to increase yield and luck effects.

Even small increases will reduce the huge grind, especially when you mine for long sessions.


Ruby farming in The Forge is all about location, patience, and luck. As long as you focus on mining Basalt Veins in the Volcanic Depths and stack as much luck as possible, you’ll eventually gather the Ruby you need for advanced crafting. Keep farming steadily, upgrade your pickaxe, and the grind will pay off.
