If you spend any amount of time mining in The Forge (Roblox), you’ll quickly realize that not all rocks are worth your time. Some ores are common filler, others are needed for crafting, and a few are so rare that you can mine for hours without seeing one. This guide breaks down every ore currently available, where it drops, and what kind of rocks you should focus on, so you can mine with a plan instead of relying on luck alone.
At its core, mining in The Forge is simple: you hit rocks with a pickaxe, ores drop based on fixed odds, and you either sell them for gold or use them at the anvil to forge better gear. As you progress, new regions introduce tougher rock types and much rarer drops, which makes knowing where to mine just as important as how.

Stonewake’s Cross – Early Game Ores
Stonewake’s Cross is where everyone starts. You’ll mainly be breaking Pebbles, Rocks, and Boulders, and even the basic pickaxe is enough to get going. Most ores here are common or uncommon, but there are still a few valuable surprises if you stick around.
You’ll consistently find Stone Ore, Sand Stone, Copper, and Iron from Pebbles and Rocks. These drop very frequently and are your bread-and-butter for early crafting and quick gold. Once you start targeting Rocks and Boulders, rarer materials like Tin, Silver, and Gold enter the pool, with Gold only appearing in Boulders.
Stonewake’s Cross is also home to some unusual drops. Cardboardite looks unassuming but sells well for a common ore, while Bananite and Mushroomite are uncommon and rare drops that are worth keeping for crafting. If you’re lucky, Boulders can also drop Aite or Poopite, both epic-tier ores with very low odds for this early area.
This zone is ideal if you want steady income with low effort, or if you’re farming materials without dealing with dangerous environments.

Forgotten Kingdom – Mid to Late Game Ores
The Forgotten Kingdom is where mining becomes more serious. You’ll need to unlock the area through quests and reach the required level before entering. Once inside, you’ll be dealing with Basalt Rock, Basalt Core, Basalt Veins, and finally Volcanic Rock, which hosts the rarest materials in the game.
Uncommon ores like Cobalt, Titanium, and Lapis Lazuli drop from Basalt Rock and Core, offering better sell prices and stronger forging bonuses than anything from Stonewake’s Cross. As you push deeper and start farming Basalt Veins, rare gems such as Quartz, Amethyst, Topaz, Diamond, and Sapphire begin to appear, each with increasingly low drop rates.
Epic ores dominate this area once you focus on veins and volcanic zones. Cuprite, Obsidian, Emerald, and Ruby are all difficult to obtain but extremely valuable, either for selling or for high-end crafting. Some of them add special bonuses when used on gear, like extra defense or offensive effects.
The true endgame grind lives in Volcanic Rock. This is where Legendary and Mythic ores come from. Materials such as Uranium, Mythril, Eye Ore, Fireite, Magmaite, Lightite, Demonite, and Darkryte all have brutal drop rates, but they offer the strongest forging multipliers and unique effects in the game. If you’re hunting these, luck boosts and an efficient mining route make a massive difference.

Goblin Cave – Crystal Ores
The Goblin Cave is different from every other mining area. Instead of stone-based rocks, you’ll be breaking colored Crystal Rocks like Crimson, Cyan, Earth, Violet, and Light Crystals. Each crystal color can drop its corresponding ore.
Epic-tier crystal ores such as Blue, Green, Orange, Magenta, and Crimson Crystal Ore all share the same drop rate and sell value. They’re rare, but consistent if you’re clearing crystal clusters efficiently.
Two drops stand above everything else here. Rainbow Crystal is legendary and extremely rare, offering one of the highest forging multipliers in the game. Arcane Crystal Ore is even rarer, with an absurdly low drop chance, but it sells for a huge amount and is meant purely for late-game players willing to grind.
If you’re mining in Goblin Cave, efficiency matters more than anywhere else. Every rock counts.
| Ore | Found in | Rarity Ore | Drop odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Crystal | Crimson Crystal, Cyan Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal, Violet Crystal | Epic | 1 in 255 |
| Rainbow Crystal | Crimson Crystal, Cyan Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal | Legendary | 1 in 5,000 |
| Blue Crystal | Crimson Crystal, Cyan Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal, Violet Crystal | Epic | 1 in 255 |
| Arcane Crystal | Crimson Crystal, Cyan Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal | Mythic | 1 in 100,000 |
| Magenta Crystal | Crimson Crystal, Cyan Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal, Violet Crystal | Epic | 1 in 255 |
| Crimson Crystal | Crimson Crystal, Cyan Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal, Violet Crystal | Epic | 1 in 255 |
| Orange Crystal | Crimson Crystal, Cyan Crystal, Earth Crystal, Light Crystal, Violet Crystal | Epic | 1 in 255 |
Mining Tips That Actually Help
If you want better results without pure luck, positioning is key. Some rock formations allow your pickaxe swing to hit multiple rocks at once, which dramatically speeds up farming.
Pay attention to drop previews when mining. Midway through breaking a rock, the ore inside becomes visible. If you don’t like what you see, stop mining and let the rock reset. After a short delay, its contents reroll, giving you another chance at a rare drop.
Using Luck Potions is almost mandatory if you’re chasing legendary or mythic ores. Stacking them alongside a strong pickaxe massively improves your odds over time. Just remember to be considerate in public areas—constantly resetting rare spawns affects everyone nearby.
Final Thoughts
Mining in The Forge isn’t just about swinging your pickaxe nonstop. Knowing which area to farm, which rocks to target, and when to move on saves hours of wasted effort. Early zones are perfect for stability, the Forgotten Kingdom is where progression happens, and Goblin Cave is strictly for players aiming for top-tier rewards.
If new ores are added later, this list will grow. Until then, you now know exactly what you’re digging for—and where to find it.
FAQ – Mining Ores in The Forge
Which area should I mine in first as a new player?
You should start in Stonewake’s Cross. The rocks are easy to break, all early-game ores drop there, and you don’t need any special requirements. It’s the best place to learn how drop odds work and to build a basic stock of gold and crafting materials before moving on.
Are some rocks better than others for rare ores?
Yes. In general, Pebbles mostly drop common ores, while Rocks and Boulders have access to a wider pool. For late-game areas, Basalt Veins and Volcanic Rock are where most epic, legendary, and mythic ores come from. If you’re hunting rare materials, targeting the right rock type matters more than mining speed.
Can I influence which ore drops from a rock?
You can’t choose the ore directly, but you can improve your chances. Luck potions increase your odds, and if you stop mining when you see an unwanted drop preview, the rock will eventually reset and reroll its contents. This saves time when farming rare ores.
Is it better to sell ores or save them for crafting?
Early on, selling common ores is fine to build gold. Later, many rare ores give strong bonuses when used to forge gear, so selling everything isn’t always smart. A good approach is to sell surplus commons and keep rare, epic, or higher oresuntil you know what gear you want to craft.
What’s the fastest way to farm ores efficiently?
Look for spots where multiple rocks overlap so one swing hits more than one hitbox. This speeds up farming significantly. Combine that with a strong pickaxe, luck potions, and a good route through the cave, and your ore gain per minute will improve a lot—especially in the Forgotten Kingdom and Goblin Cave.
