This guide breaks down the latest weapon and armor recipes introduced in the Crimson Depth update. Each section is organized to help you understand the best combinations based on your goals, whether you are aiming for high DPS, critical damage, sustain, or survivability.

Important Ores in the Crimson Depth Update

Before diving into recipes, it is important to understand the ores that currently define the meta.

  • Frogite (Armor) – 8.5x multiplier Focuses on mobility with jump height and dash distance bonuses.
  • Prismatic Heart (Weapon) – 5.5x multiplier Provides critical chance, critical damage, and a freeze effect that stacks with Iceite.
  • Moonstone (Weapon) – 9.5x multiplier Grants 25% physical damage at night, making it strong but situational.
  • Yeti Heart (Weapon) – 7.7x multiplier Offers critical chance, critical damage, and attack speed.
  • Golem Heart (Weapon) – 10x multiplier High critical bonuses with a slow effect that does not stack with other slow ores.
  • Stolen Heart (Weapon) – 15.4x multiplier Provides 7% lifesteal and is extremely powerful for sustain-focused builds.
  • Duranite (Armor) – 12x multiplier Increases max HP and has a chance to reduce incoming damage.
  • Heart of the Island (Armor) – 18.5x multiplier Massive HP boost with a special buff when HP is low.

Whether you aim for massive DPS, critical-focused damage, lifesteal sustain, or tanky survivability, each path now has its own optimal recipe.

Use this guide as a foundation, then adjust based on your available resources and preferred playstyle. With the right combinations, progressing into endgame content in The Forge becomes faster, more stable, and far more rewarding.
