Mining is one of the most important activities in The Forge. The faster you gather ores, the quicker you can craft strong gear and progress in the game. Instead of just hitting random rocks, you need a smart strategy to boost your gains. Below is a guide that explains how to mine faster, farm better ores, and improve your setup for long-term efficiency.

Unlock Better Mining Spots Early
Once you reach level 10, you can access The Forgotten Kingdom, a special area filled with stronger enemies and higher-tier ores. To get there, talk to the Wizard NPC and grab the portal. This location is key because:
- Rare ores spawn more often in deeper cave sections
- Better crafting resources drop from monsters
- You’ll find rocks that give high-value items when mined
Mining here is harder, but the rewards make it worthwhile.
How to Improve Your Pickaxe
Your pickaxe is the most important tool in the game. Rocks cannot be mined if your pickaxe doesn’t meet the required base damage, and stronger pickaxes break low-tier rocks instantly. Focus on these upgrades:
- Buy upgraded pickaxes from Miner
- Find rare pickaxes while exploring deeper caves
- Add stat boosts at the Enhancer
- Attach runes at the Runemaker to increase power and mining speed
The stronger your pickaxe is, the less time you spend breaking rocks.
How to Increase Your Mining Luck
Higher mining luck means more valuable drops. You can boost your luck using several methods:
- Reroll for a race that provides luck bonuses (for example, races with passive luck effects)
- Drink Luck Potions from Maria NPC
- Add luck runes to your pickaxe at the Runemaker
With enough luck, you’ll get rare ores more often, which means faster progress and more profit.
Don’t Forget Your Combat Gear
Many rare rocks are guarded by tough zombies. If you can’t defeat them, you can’t access the best mining spots. That’s why weapons and armor matter:
- Stronger gear makes it easier to farm the caves
- You can sell unused equipment at Marbles’ store
- Fighting mobs also drops items you can craft or sell for extra money
Push deeper, fight monsters, and claim the richer rocks they protect.
Sell Leftover Ores for Profit
If you mine consistently, you’ll collect many extras. Use them to fund more upgrades:
- Sell unused ores to Greedy Gey
- Craft lower-tier weapons or armor and sell them for extra cash
- Reinforce only what you plan to use
Mining isn’t only about gathering—it’s also income.
Mining faster in The Forge isn’t just about hitting rocks quickly. It’s about using the right location, better tools, smart upgrades, and boosting your luck. Focus on improving your pickaxe, mining deeper in the Forgotten Kingdom, powering up your luck, gearing up for combat, and selling extras. Follow this cycle consistently, and you’ll gather rare ores faster, craft stronger items, and grow your resources with ease.
