The Forge like many Roblox RPGs is quite grindy so you'll need a lot of money/gold for all the pickaxes and progression. The end-game pickaxes cost 120k/150k and even the Goblin Quest requires 85k to complete. That's why I'll show you various methods on how to farm money in The Forge fast.

Heavy Armor/Colossal Money Farm Method
The highest value piece of gear you can craft and sell are the Heavy Armors and Colossal Swords so they're a great method to farm money in The Forge. They have the best base selling price since they use the most ore and it's a better profit to make them and sell them than to sell the ores you use to make them. Just keep making them and selling them for a lot of cash. Here's the ore you need to make Heavy Armor and Colossal Swords:
- Heavy Armor: The minimum amount of Ore you need is 20 but the optimal number is 46 for the best chance.
- Colossal Sword: The minimum amount of Ore you need is 21 but the optimal number is 46 for the best chance.
Just keep farming fast Ores like commons with your current Pickaxe level and I recommend the Dwarf race for faster mining and as many Miner Shard runes as you can slot. Always go for the highest rarity Rock Node that you can find Boulder>Basalt>Volcanic Rock/Crystal. These will give you the best ores with the highest multipliers.
| Item | Min Ore | Optimal Ore |
|---|---|---|
| Dagger | 3 | 3 |
| Straight Sword | 4 | 8 |
| Gauntlet | 7 | 11 |
| Katana | 9 | 15 |
| Great Sword | 12 | 20 |
| Great Axe | 16 | 37 |
| Colossal Sword | 21 | 46 |
| Light Armor | 3 | 3 (For Helmet, More for Leggings/Chest) |
| Medium Armor | 10 (Helmet) | 17 |
| Heavy Armor | 20 (Helmet) | 46 |
Monster Essence Money Farm Method
This is the best mid to end game farm method where you farm Monsters for Essence drops which you can then sell for a ton of gold. Get a strong DPS race like Shadow/Orc for beginners and Demon/Angel/Dragonborn for best damage as well as the best runes like Blaze Chip and Drain Edge. Also, craft a Dagger (great DPS) with the highest modifier Ore you can find and use special Ores for traits which you can see in our all Ores list.
From there go into the highest level area you can access but I recommend the Volcanic region for Elite Essence which you can reach in the caves of W2 as in the picture above. Buy a bunch of Luck Potions beforehand for max drops. Once you enter the Volcanic region you can farm Elite Skeleton Rogues, Reapers, fire slimes and Deathaxes for the highest value essence. For Reapers I recommend waiting out their swings and then parrying the final swing or dodging into it to do your DPS then backing away. ,That said, you'll be okay with farming pretty much any monsters you can handle at your current level. After a while just go back to town, sell all the essences and continue farming to amass a lot cash.

All of these methods will also give you a fair amount of EXP so you'll be farming levels a bit too. That's it for my The Forge money farm guide and all farming methods. Check out our The Forge codes for free rewards.
