5 Ways to Get Money Fast in The Forge Guide, Best to Worse!

Getting rich in The Forge on Roblox is not about luck. If you know where to grind and what to sell, you can stack money very fast. Many players still waste time mining low-value rocks or selling raw ores without maximizing profit. Also check out our Roblox The Forge Beginner Guide for those interested and the Race Tier List.

In this guide, we break down the top 5 best money-making methods in The Forge, starting from the weakest option and ending with the most profitable strategy in the game right now. All of these methods are done on Island 2 (Forgotten Kingdom), so make sure you unlock that area first.

Method 5: Selling Raw Ores (Worst Method)

The most basic way to make money is mining rocks and selling the ores directly.

• Mine any nearby rocks
• Fill your inventory
• Sell all ores to an NPC

This method gives very little money and is not recommended, even for beginners. The time spent mining is not worth the payout. This method only exists as a fallback option if you literally have nothing unlocked.

Method 4: Passive Quest Farming (Easy Background Income)

This is a passive method that works while you play normally.

Start these quests:

• Captain Rowan
• Sensei Moru (Forge Area)
• Masked Stranger (outside the cave)
• Amber

Most of these quests require mining rocks or killing enemies, which you already do during normal gameplay. Keeping these quests active gives you free background money without changing your playstyle. This method is good for all players and should always be running in the background.

Method 3: Forging Armor Instead of Selling Ores

This is where real money starts.

Steps:

1. Mine higher-tier rocks based on your pickaxe
2. Collect valuable ores like Uranium
3. Go to the forge
4. Craft armor pieces (Heavy Armor recommended)
5. Complete the forging minigame properly
6. Sell the forged armor

Forged armor sells for far more than raw ores. For example, forging Uranium into armor can earn $5,000–$6,000 per craft, while selling Uranium alone gives much less. The rarer the ore, the higher the profit. This method can make millions over a few hours, especially if you find fast-respawning mining spots.

Method 2: Farming Enemies for Essence (Mid-Game Friendly)

If you are tired of mining, this method is more active.

Requirements:

• Decent armor (any forged set works)
• A usable sword

Go to high enemy spawn caves with axe skeletons and death axe skeletons. Kill them repeatedly in a loop.

Why this works:

• Enemies drop essences
• Essences sell for good money
• Around $15,000–$16,000 every 30 minutes

This method is easier than forging and works well for mid-game players who want steady income without crafting.

Method 1: Volcano Essence Farming (Best Method)

This is the best money-making method in The Forge.

Requirements:

• Strong armor (Light Armor recommended)
• High-tier weapon (Darkrite or better)
• Drain or life-steal runes

Go to the Volcano Area and farm high-level enemies. These enemies drop Superior Essences, which sell for $75 each.

Why this method is broken:

• Essences drop every few seconds
• Minimal downtime with life-steal
• Can earn $100,000+ per hour
• Even faster in private servers

This method outperforms all others and is currently the fastest way to prepare for future updates.

If you want to get rich fast in The Forge, stop selling raw ores and start using smarter strategies. Passive quests should always be active, forging armor massively increases ore value, and essence farming dominates the late game. Once you are strong enough for Volcano farming, money becomes almost unlimited. Focus on upgrading your gear first, then grind efficiently, and you will never struggle with money again.
