Weapon Ore Passives (Island 4)

These ores grant special passive effects when crafted into weapons.

1. Tiger’s Eye

Bonuses:

• +10% Vitality
• +5% Movement Speed
• +7.5% Attack Speed
• +5% Physical Damage

Tiger’s Eye offers balanced but relatively low stats. It works for early builds, but it’s not ideal for late-game setups.

2. Onyx

Bonuses:

• +35% Critical Chance
• +17.5% Critical Damage

Onyx is excellent for crit-based builds. The high critical chance makes damage output much more consistent, especially for DPS players.

3. Sealed Curse (Weapon)

Bonuses:

• -10% Stamina
• -50% Movement Speed
• -20% Vitality
• +30% Damage

This ore is made for glass cannon builds. You sacrifice survivability and mobility for a large damage boost. Best for burst-focused PvE setups.

4. Sunstone

Passive Effect:

• 35% chance on hit
• Applies burn damage equal to 35% of weapon damage per second for 5 seconds

Sunstone is strong for damage-over-time builds. It’s especially effective during longer fights.

5. Meteorite (Mythic)

Passive Effect:

• 25% chance on hit
• Creates an explosion dealing 60% weapon damage as AoE

Meteorite is one of the best ores for mob clearing. The AoE explosion helps a lot in farming and dungeon runs.

6. Kyubite (Boss Drop)

Passive Effect:

• 40% chance on hit
• Deals 45% weapon damage as fire damage for 5 seconds
• +40% Critical Chance
• +18% Critical Damage

Kyubite is one of the strongest weapon ores in Island 4. The burn effect combined with massive crit bonuses makes it top-tier for DPS builds.

Armor Ore Passives (Island 4)

All light helmet armor pieces receive a base +3% movement speed bonus. Here are the full details of each armor ore passive.

1. Duquack

Bonuses:

• +7.5% Dash Distance
• +7.5% Dash Invincibility Duration
• +7.5% Jump Height
• +3% Movement Speed

Duquack is ideal for mobility builds. Great for players who rely on fast movement and evasive gameplay.

2. Earthite

Bonuses:

• +10% Vitality
• +3% Movement Speed
• -5% Movement Speed

Earthite focuses more on survivability, although the mixed movement speed modifiers make it slightly situational.

3. Cyanite Jade

Bonuses:

• +20% Vitality
• +3% Movement Speed
• -10% Stamina

A solid option for semi-tank builds that prioritize higher HP while maintaining some mobility.

4. Blue Gem Quill

Bonuses:

• +10% Dash Distance
• +8% Dash Invincibility Duration
• -12% Dash Cooldown
• +5% Jump Height
• +3% Movement Speed

This is currently the best movement-focused armor ore in the game. Perfect for PvP or high-mobility builds.

5. Sealed Curse (Armor)

Bonuses:

• -10% Stamina
• -20% Vitality
• -15% Movement Speed
• +30% Physical Damage
• Berserker Effect: +20% Movement Speed for 6 seconds when HP drops below 35% (60-second cooldown)

Just like the weapon version, this ore is high risk, high reward. It works well for aggressive players who want maximum damage.

6. Azuryxite

Bonuses:

• +15% Vitality
• -10% Stamina
• -15% Movement Speed
• +3% Movement Speed
• 30% Physical Damage Reduction (40% chance on hit)

Azuryxite is clearly designed for tank builds. The physical damage reduction makes it very strong in late-game content.

7. Lucky Cat

Passive Effect:

• 5% chance to drop one extra ore while mining
• +5% overall luck

If equipped on three armor pieces, you can gain up to 15% bonus luck. This is the best option for farming builds.

8. Heavenly Orb Ore (New Meta Pick)

Bonuses:

• Regenerates 15 HP per second
• +5% Vitality
• +3% Movement Speed
• 30% Physical Damage Reduction
• 45% chance on hit

Heavenly Orb is currently the strongest armor ore in Island 4. The combination of health regeneration and damage reduction makes it extremely powerful for sustain builds. This is likely the new armor meta moving forward.

The Forge Island 4 has shifted the meta significantly. Choosing the right ore passive now matters more than rarity alone. Whether you want high burst damage, survivability, or farming efficiency, there’s a specific ore that fits your playstyle. Make sure to craft wisely and build around your preferred role to get the most out of the latest Forge update.
