The Forge Crafting Process, Explained
There are three mini-games involved in The Forge crafting process: Smelting the Ores, Pouring the Molten Metal, and Shaping the Equipment. After farming Ores in caves, you can go to the Forging station and start the crafting process to create armor and weapons in The Forge . Both Stonewake’s Cross and Forgotten Kingdom islands have the Forging station. You can locate it via the compass on the top of your screen. Walk near the Forging station and tap the E button to start the mini-games. Here are their details:
1. Smelting the Ores
This is the first mini-game of The Forge crafting process, where you choose the weapon you want to craft. There are seven types of weapons: Daggers, Straight Swords, Great Swords, Gauntlets, Katanas, Great Axes, and Colossal Swords. Daggers need fewer Ores, increasing progressively, with Colossal Swords requiring the highest amount.
Now, there are a couple of things that you should be aware of:
- Ores also have multipliers, which increase the weapons’ stats and their price.
- Ores come in various rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Relic, Legendary, Divine, and Mythical.
- All higher-rarity Ores have higher multipliers than the lower ones. While smelting, the obtained multiplier will be the average of all used Ores.
- Some higher-rarity Ores have traits that will be added to the weapon after forging.
Forging armor works exactly like weapons. There are three types of armor available to craft: Light, Medium, and Heavy. Light ones require fewer Ores compared to the Heavy ones. You can also use Ores with traits to add them to the armor.
To start the first step, simply follow these instructions:
- Choose your preferred Ores and tap the Forge button.
- You will see a pump on the left side of the screen and a black bar on the right side.
- Click on the pump and drag your mouse up and down to fill the bar.
- Wait for the bar to completely fill. You will automatically be sent to the next step.
2. Pouring the Molten Metal
After choosing the type of weapon and smelting, another mini-game will appear in The Forge crafting process. In this mini-game, you must pour the molten Ores to give the equipment a shape. You will see a black bar with a yellow box inside it and a needle on the right side of the screen. Your goal is to keep the needle inside the yellow box while it moves at random. The molten metal pours when the needle is inside the yellow bar.
The mini-game ends when the progress bar at the bottom of the screen fills up with white. After that, you must hammer the mold a few times to prepare it to shape.
3. Shaping the Equipment
The last mini-game involves shaping the equipment. In this mini-game, you will see two circles, outer and inner, appearing at random on your screen. The outer circle gradually becomes smaller, and you must click on the inner circle when the two are closest to each other. Various results appear on the screen based on the timing of your click, such as “Good”, “Bad”, “Ok”, and “Perfect”. Try to aim for the “Perfect” result in every click to get the best equipment with a high selling price.
Now that you know about the forging process, our next section will discuss everything about Ores, equipment chances, and weapons and armors you can currently forge.

Details About Ores, Multipliers, and Their Traits
The Ores’ traits and multipliers have a significant impact on the quality and selling price of the forged equipment. Here are their details, under their respective categories:
1. Common Rarity
2. Uncommon Rarity
3. Rare Rarity
4. Epic Rarity
5. Relic Rarity
6. Legendary Rarity
7. Mythical Rarity
8. Divine Rarity
Note that the resulting multipliers while smelting are calculated based on the average of the used Ores. So, you must try to use more Ores with high multipliers to obtain better equipment.
