Island 4 in The Forge opens up a much better way to farm gold compared to Island 3. If you use the right setup and focus on the correct mining spot, your income per hour can double.

Best Farming Location in Island 4
The most recommended spot is Holy Tree Cave, specifically the area filled with glowing rocks (often called glowy rocks). How to Reach Holy Tree Cave:
- Enter through the main gate from spawn.
- Follow the path uphill until you reach a large tree at the top.
- Go inside the cave.
- Turn left and continue deeper until you find the glowing rocks.
This location is ideal for farming because:
- There are no enemies nearby.
- The rocks respawn quickly.
- You can mine continuously without interruption.
The fast respawn rate makes this area very stable for long farming sessions.
Best Equipment and Buff Setup
To maximize your gold income, you need to increase your ore yield as much as possible.
1. Yield Pickaxe
A Yield Pickaxe increases the amount of ore you get per rock. Examples:
- Kitsune Pickaxe
- Dragon Head Pickaxe
If you use Minor Tier 2 Yield Runes (15% yield each), you can stack them up to 60% total yield. This dramatically increases your farming efficiency.
2. Yield Armor
Armor like Lucky Cat can further boost the number of ores you receive per mining session.
3. Potions
Use:
- Minor Mining Potions
- Luck Potions
These help increase mining speed and improve your chances of getting rare ores such as Azerid.
With the right combination of pickaxe, armor, and potions, you can sometimes receive multiple ores from a single rock.
How to Farm in Island 4 The Forge Guide
Follow this process:
- Mine the glowing rocks inside Holy Tree Cave.
- Use a Yield Pickaxe with enough mining power to break rocks quickly.
- Collect all ores, especially rare ones like Azerid.
- Craft the ores into armor or chestplates at a crafting station.
- Sell the crafted items for gold.
Using a proper yield setup, you can earn around $600,000 per hour.
Without a Yield Pickaxe, the average income drops to around $300,000 per hour.
Tips to Increase Profit
- Always aim for 100% Masterwork quality before selling crafted gear to raise its value.
- Save and craft using rare ores for higher selling prices.
- Take side quests while farming to add extra income.
- Focus on long farming sessions to fully benefit from fast respawn rocks.
Island 4 is currently one of the best gold farming areas in The Forge. By focusing on Holy Tree Cave, stacking yield bonuses, and crafting armor for resale, you can significantly boost your income. With consistent farming and the right setup, Island 4 can easily become your main gold source in the mid to late game.
