STOP Selling Ores! 🚫 The Forge Ultimate Money Guide & Crafting Secrets (Roblox)

Video Introduction

This video provides a full guide on the most efficient methods to grind money inside The Forge. It is designed for players who want to maximize their profits through smart crafting and combat rather than mindless grinding. The tutorial covers weapon selection, specific crafting recipes for profit, and combat techniques to farm high-value drops like Essence.

Core Highlights

Craft Before You Sell: Never sell raw ores. Crafting them into specific weapons significantly multiplies their sell value (up to 2x or 3x).
The "Colossal" Strategy: Crafting Colossal weapons (like Hammers or Battle Axes) yields the best value-to-material ratio.
Essence Farming: Selling "Superior Essence" in bulk is a major source of income ($7,500 for a stack of 100).
Combat Efficiency: Matching your weapon speed to the enemy type and learning to Parry are crucial for sustaining long farming runs.

Operation Steps: The Crafting Money Method

The video demonstrates a specific workflow to triple your income compared to selling raw materials.

Step 1: Gather Materials

Mine a large quantity of a specific ore (e.g., Eye Ore). Do not sell these to the merchant immediately.

Step 2: Go to the Forge

Travel to the Forgotten Kingdom and approach the Forge. Select the Weapons category.

Step 3: Select a Colossal Weapon

Choose a "Colossal" weapon type to craft, such as a Hammer or a Double Battle Axe. These offer high value.

Step 4: Input Optimal Ore Amount

Select your ore (e.g., Eye Ore). * Tip: The video suggests using 31 to 35 ores as the optimal range. Using more than that (e.g., 40+) may result in diminishing returns or wasted materials.

Step 5: Forge and Sell

Complete the forging mini-game (aim for 100% Mastery/Perfect for best results). * Result: Take the finished weapon to the "Greedy Cry" merchant and sell it. * Example: 40 raw Eye Ores sell for ~$2,400. A Hammer crafted from them sells for ~$5,400.

Combat Strategy & Mob Guide

Different enemies require different tactics to farm efficiently without dying.

1. Skeletons (Basic)

Behavior: Fast attacks.
Strategy: Use Fast Attacking weapons. Back-step while swinging. Parrying them is annoying; it is often better to just out-DPS them while moving backward.

2. Death Axe / Elite Skeletons

Behavior: They have a long charge-up and perform two big swings.
Strategy: Bait the attacks. Let them swing twice while you are out of range, then move in to kill. Alternatively, their long charge-up makes them very easy to Parry.

3. Blazing Slimes

Behavior: Hard to read animations.
Strategy: Watch for the Red Indicator appearing above their head. As soon as you see red, press F to Parry. This stuns them, allowing for a free kill.

4. Reapers

Behavior: Difficult to parry consistently and dangerous.
Strategy: Use a high-damage weapon. Parry their initial strike, back up, and then hit them. If you swing a slow weapon while they are attacking, your attack might get canceled if you take damage.

Practical Tips

Do Not Enhance to Sell: Enhancing a weapon after crafting it does not increase its sell value enough to justify the cost. Sell the base crafted item.
Daily Quests: Always visit the Masked Stranger (located up the hill near the Ruined Cave sign) for daily kill quests. This provides passive income while you grind.
Weapon Choice Matters:
- Fast Weapons: Lower damage per hit, but safer because you have room to Parry or dodge mid-fight.
- Colossal/Big Weapons: High damage but slow. Risky against fast mobs because if you get hit mid-swing, your attack is canceled.

Advanced Tips for Maximizing Profit

Farm for Essence: While killing mobs, you will collect "Essence" (Small, Medium, Superior).
Bulk Selling: Save your Superior Essence. A stack of 100 Superior Essence sells for 7,500 gold. This is often more lucrative than the raw gold drops from the mobs themselves.
Buffs: If you are grinding for long periods, invest in Luck Potions (to increase Essence drop rates) and Warrior/Vitality Totems to speed up kill times and health regeneration.
