The Forge Roblox: Best Money Method & Combat Guide (Craft vs Sell)

An in-depth walkthrough for maximizing money and efficiency in The Forge. It covers the optimal strategies for farming ores, the most profitable crafting recipes to sell, and essential combat techniques like parrying. Whether you are a beginner or a mid-game player, this tutorial offers actionable tips to help you grind faster and earn more currency.

Core Content Highlights

Craft to Sell: Never sell raw ores directly. Always craft them into high-value items (specifically colossal weapons like hammers) to triple your profit.
Optimal Recipe: Use roughly 30–35 ores per craft. Exceeding this amount gives diminishing returns and wastes resources.
Weapon Strategy: Fast-attacking weapons are generally safer than slow, heavy weapons because they allow for quicker parry reactions and are less likely to be interrupted.
Combat Mechanics: Mastering the "Parry" (timed block with F) is crucial for stunning enemies, especially against mobs with predictable charge attacks like Skeletons and Slimes.
Maximizing Value: Utilize totems (Luck, Mining, Vitality) and potions during farming sessions to significantly boost ore drops and XP gain.

Step-by-Step Money Making Guide

Step 1: Efficient Mining

Head to the deeper sections of the cave or the Volcanic Pits. Mine as many ores as possible until your inventory is full. Prioritize areas with dense ore spawns to minimize travel time.

Step 2: The Reset Trick

Once your inventory is full, instead of walking all the way back, simply reset your character. This instantly teleports you back to the spawn area where the forge is located.

Step 3: Crafting for Profit

Go to the anvil and select a "Colossal Weapon" recipe (like a Hammer or Great Axe). Use a common but abundant material, such as Eye Ore. Input approximately 40 ores into the forge. Do not craft armor for selling, as weapons generally yield a higher sell price.

Step 4: Selling

Take your crafted Masterwork weapon to the merchant (Greedy Cey). * Comparison: Selling 40 raw Eye Ores might net you around $2,400. * Result: Selling a single hammer crafted from those same 40 ores sells for $5,400. This simple extra step more than doubles your income per inventory run.

Combat & Parrying Guide

The Parry Mechanic

Press F right before an enemy attack lands to perform a Parry. * Success: You take zero damage, reflect damage back to the enemy, and stun them. * Strategy: Wait for the enemy's attack animation (e.g., a skeleton's arm pulling back or a slime's red flash) before pressing F.

Enemy-Specific Tactics

Skeletons/Death Axe Skeletons: These have a slow, telegraphed two-swing attack. Either step backward to dodge the first swing and punish them, or time your parry as they swing.
Blazing Slimes: Watch for the red exclamation mark or flash above their head. This signals their attack is imminent, making them easy to parry and stun.
Pyromancers: These are best handled by side-stepping their projectiles rather than trying to parry.
Reapers: These are difficult to parry consistently. It is often safer to avoid direct confrontation unless you have high-level gear.

Practical Tips for Grinding

Weapon Choice: While colossal weapons deal high damage, their slow swing speed leaves you vulnerable to being interrupted. Fast weapons allow you to weave attacks in between enemy swings more safely.
Daily Quests: Visit the "Masked Stranger" on the upper level of the hub to get daily kill quests. These provide passive income while you grind for ores.
Buff Stacking: Before a long grinding session, stack Luck Potions (for better ore drops) with Warrior/Vitality Totems (for combat stats). This synergy makes farming faster and safer.

Important Considerations

Masterwork Quality: When forging, always aim for 100% (Masterwork) quality by hitting the perfect circle timing. Higher quality items sell for more, maximizing the value of your materials.
Inventory Management: Your inventory has a limit. Frequent resets to craft and sell are more efficient than trying to cherry-pick only the best ores. Clear everything out to keep the money flowing.
