3 Secret Pickaxe Update 1 The Forge Guide, Location & How to Get!

Island 3 is finally available in the latest The Forge update, and as many players expected, this area introduces several new pickaxes with much higher power than before. The problem is, not every new pickaxe is a smart purchase right away. One wrong decision can easily drain millions of gold and slow down your progress.

In this guide, we will go over the three secret pickaxes in Island 3 The Forge, explain what each one offers, and help you choose the safest and most efficient order so your progression stays smooth without wasting gold.

1. Christmas Pickaxe (Limited and Safest Choice)

The Christmas Pickaxe is the safest option for players who have just reached Island 3. It works extremely well during early to mid Island 3 progression. Why this pickaxe stands out:

• It is a limited-time pickaxe
• Strong enough for early and mid Island 3 content
• Cheaper than most store pickaxes
• Has a higher luck bonus compared to expensive shop options

The downside is the way you obtain it:

• The required quest can only be completed once per day
• You can earn around 420 Christmas Tickets daily
• On average, it takes about one week to unlock

Even though it requires patience, the Christmas Pickaxe is absolutely worth the effort. It offers better value and performance compared to buying overpriced pickaxes from the store.

2. Void Pickaxe (Not Recommended)

The Void Pickaxe can be found in the Miner Fred Store with the following stats:

• Around 550 Mine Power
• Very high price
• Lower luck boost than the Christmas Pickaxe

At first glance, this pickaxe may look tempting because it is instantly available. However, the value is very poor. Despite its high cost, it still performs worse than the Christmas Pickaxe in several key areas. Buying this pickaxe is not recommended, as it is overpriced and will only slow down your gold progression.

3. Prismatic Pickaxe (Hidden Pickaxe in Island 3)

The Prismatic Pickaxe is the most sought-after hidden pickaxe in Island 3 and is likely the strongest pickaxe currently available.

Prismatic Pickaxe Location

• From the Island 3 area, move toward the left side
• Continue until you find a small frozen lake
• Look for a small hole similar to a fishing spot
• Jump into the water and dive downward
• You will fall into a hidden area beneath the ice

Inside this secret area, the Prismatic Pickaxe can be seen behind a large block of ice.

Requirements to Unlock the Prismatic Pickaxe

• Cost: around 2 million gold
• Must own a pickaxe with 320 base damage
• Cannot be unlocked using glitches or teleport methods
• The ice barrier must be broken normally

You also need to complete the Sensei Moro Quest up to level 6 to unlock a pickaxe with 320 base damage. Without finishing this quest, the Prismatic Pickaxe will remain locked, even if you have enough gold.

Island 3 brings major changes to The Forge, especially when it comes to ores and pickaxe progression. Each of the three pickaxes discussed has its own role, but not all of them are worth buying. The Christmas Pickaxe is the safest and most efficient starting choice, store pickaxes should be avoided, and the Prismatic Pickaxe is the true end goal.

By following the correct order, you can progress faster and avoid losing millions of gold due to poor purchasing decisions. If you are still exploring Island 3, make sure your pickaxe strategy is solid from the very beginning.
