This guide covers the fastest way to level [[Forging]] to max. Forging is closely tied to [[Mining]] since you need ores to smelt, so the two skills are best trained together (see [[Mining - Guide]]). [[File:Forging.png|150px]]


== Overview ==
== Overview ==


Forging XP comes from two sources: '''smelting''' ores into bars at the Furnace, and '''smithing''' bars into items at the Anvils. The most efficient training method at every tier is to smelt bars and then smith '''arrowheads''', since arrowheads only cost 1 bar each and give the same (or better) XP per bar as any other recipe.
The fastest way to level Forging is '''not''' to sit at the Furnace and Anvils all day. Instead, the most efficient strategy is to use '''[[Orebar Potion|Orebar Potions]]''' while [[Mining]], which automatically smelt [[Copper]], [[Iron]], [[Silver]], and [[Gold]] ore into bars as you mine them. This lets you train Mining and Forging at the same time with no extra effort.


The general strategy is:
The general strategy is:


# Smelt '''[[Bronze Bar|Bronze Bars]]''' and smith '''[[Bronze Arrow Heads|Bronze Arrowheads]]''' from level 1 to 5.
# Use '''[[Orebar Potion|Orebar Potions]]''' while mining '''[[Iron]]''' at the 3-Iron spot (level 60+ with a [[Promethium Pickaxe]] or better).
# Switch to '''[[Iron Bar|Iron Bars]]''' and '''[[Iron Arrow Heads|Iron Arrowheads]]''' from level 5 to 15.
# Once you can mine '''[[Silver]]''' at max speed (level 80+ with an [[Ancient Pickaxe]]), switch to the 3-Silver spot with Orebar Potions for the fastest combined Mining + Forging XP in the game.
# Switch to '''[[Silver Bar|Silver Bars]]''' and '''[[Silver Arrow Heads|Silver Arrowheads]]''' from level 15 to 25.
# Smelt and smith any leftover ores from '''[[Meteor|Meteors]]''' (Gold, Silver, Iron, etc.) whenever you collect them.
# Switch to '''[[Gold Bar|Gold Bars]]''' and '''[[Gold Arrow Heads|Gold Arrowheads]]''' from level 25 to 50.
# For high-tier bars ([[Promethium Bar|Promethium]], [[Titanium Bar|Titanium]], [[Ancient Bar|Ancient]]), smelt manually at the Furnace and smith items as needed.
# Switch to '''[[Promethium Bar|Promethium Bars]]''' and '''[[Promethium Arrow Heads|Promethium Arrowheads]]''' from level 50 to 65.
# Switch to '''[[Titanium Bar|Titanium Bars]]''' and '''[[Titanium Arrow Heads|Titanium Arrowheads]]''' from level 65 to 75.
# Smelt '''[[Ancient Bar|Ancient Bars]]''' and smith '''[[Ancient Arrow Heads|Ancient Arrowheads]]''' from level 75+ for the best XP in the game.


== XP Per Bar ==
== Orebar Potion Strategy (Fastest XP/h) ==


Every smithing recipe within a tier gives the same XP per bar used, with one exception: [[Ancient Arrow Heads|Ancient Arrowheads]] give slightly more XP per bar than other Ancient recipes. This means arrowheads are always the best choice for pure XP since they only use 1 bar per craft.
The '''[[Orebar Potion]]''' is a [[Brewing]] potion that automatically smelts Copper, Iron, Silver, and Gold ore into bars as you mine them. Each ore you mine is instantly converted into a bar, giving you both Mining XP and Forging smelt XP simultaneously. This is the single most efficient way to train Forging because you are not spending any extra time at the Furnace.
 
'''How it works:''' With an active Orebar Potion, every ore you mine is auto-smelted into a bar and you receive [[Forging]] smelt XP. No [[Coal]] or other fuel is needed - the potion handles the conversion entirely on its own.

The 3-Iron and 3-Silver spots refer to clusters of three rocks that can be cycled without waiting for respawns. See the [[Mining - Guide]] for full details on these spots and XP rates.
'''Silver at max speed''' is the best overall method. At level 80+ with an [[Ancient Pickaxe]], you earn massive Mining XP and 40 Forging XP per ore, all while barely touching the Furnace.
=== Combining Orebar + Mining Potion ===
For maximum efficiency, use an '''[[Orebar Potion]]''' and a '''[[Mining Potion]]''' at the same time. The [[Mining Potion]] doubles the ore and Mining XP you receive per rock, and since the Orebar Potion auto-smelts each ore, you also receive '''double the bars and double the Forging XP'''. This is the fastest possible way to train both skills simultaneously.
== Meteor Ores ==
[[Meteor|Meteors]] drop a mix of ores including [[Gold]], [[Silver]], [[Iron]], and others. Any ores you collect from Meteors can be smelted at the Furnace for additional Forging XP. Since Meteor ores are essentially free, always smelt them when you get a chance.

Higher-tier bars require [[Coal]], [[Charcoal]], and in the case of [[Ancient Ore|Ancient]], a [[Lava Bucket]]. Make sure you have enough fuel before starting a smelting session.
For manual smelting at the Furnace, here are the material requirements for each bar:

|}
|}


== Phase 1: Bronze and Iron (Levels 1-15) ==
'''Getting [[Charcoal]]:''' Made at the Charcoal Kiln on the second floor of the Mine. Each Charcoal costs 50 [[Woodchips]] and 600 [[Coins]]. Woodchips are a byproduct of [[Woodcutting]].


Start by mining [[Coal]] and [[Copper]] on the first floor of the Mine, then smelt [[Bronze Bar|Bronze Bars]] at the Furnace. Smith [[Bronze Arrow Heads|Bronze Arrowheads]] at the Anvils on the second floor for 35 total XP per bar (10 smelt + 25 smith).
'''Getting [[Lava Bucket|Lava Buckets]]:''' Requires a [[Graphite Bucket]] (crafted from 10 [[Graphite]] at level 70 [[Crafting]]) filled with lava. Lava Buckets are consumed when smelting [[Ancient Bar|Ancient Bars]], so you need one per bar.


At level 5, switch to [[Iron Bar|Iron Bars]] (1 [[Iron]] + 1 [[Coal]]). Iron rocks are found on the second floor of the Mine. Smith [[Iron Arrow Heads|Iron Arrowheads]] for 70 total XP per bar. Continue through to level 15.
== What to Smith ==


During this phase, you may want to smith a few useful items along the way such as an [[Iron Pickaxe]], [[Iron Axe]], or [[Iron Knife]] for personal use. These give the same XP per bar as arrowheads, so there is no penalty for making them.
All smithing recipes within the same metal tier give the '''same Forging XP per bar''' used. A [[Bronze Sword]] (15 bars, 375 XP) gives exactly 25 XP per bar, same as [[Bronze Arrow Heads|Bronze Arrowheads]] (1 bar, 25 XP). So there is no XP advantage to any particular recipe - smith whatever you actually need.


== Phase 2: Silver and Gold (Levels 15-50) ==
'''Recommended:''' Upgrade your [[Tools|pickaxes and axes]], forge [[Armour]] sets for combat, or make [[Necklaces]] from your gems. Since XP per bar is the same regardless of what you smith, there is no penalty for making useful gear instead of grinding one recipe.


At level 15, switch to [[Silver Bar|Silver Bars]] (1 [[Silver]] + 2 [[Coal]]) and [[Silver Arrow Heads|Silver Arrowheads]] for 112 XP per bar. Silver rocks are found on the second floor of the Mine and at the [[Beach]].
'''Arrowheads for Archery:''' While arrowheads are not better XP than other recipes, they are worth stockpiling over time for [[Archery]] training. High-level Archery requires large quantities of arrows, and having a supply of arrowheads ready saves time later. Since XP per bar is identical either way, making arrowheads when you do not need other items is a smart long-term investment.


At level 25, you can start smithing [[Gold Arrow Heads|Gold Arrowheads]], though you need level 30 to smelt [[Gold Bar|Gold Bars]]. If you have Gold Bars from other sources (trading, the [[Orebar Potion]]), you can start arrowheads early. Gold ore is found on the second floor of the Mine, the [[Sewer]], and at the [[Beach]], and requires 3 [[Coal]] per bar.
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
 
|-
This is also where you unlock [[Necklaces]] (level 20+), which give 107 XP each from a [[Gold Bar]] and an Enchanted Gem. If you have spare gems from [[Mining]], necklaces are a good use for them.
! Arrowheads (10x) !! Smith Level !! XP !! Bars !! XP/Bar
 
|-
At level 50, you unlock [[Gold Treasure Chest Key|Treasure Chest Keys]] (535-635 XP each, 5 [[Gold Bar|Gold Bars]]). These are useful if you have Treasure Maps but are not efficient for pure XP grinding compared to arrowheads.
| [[Bronze Arrow Heads|Bronze]] || 1 || 25 || 1 [[Bronze Bar]] || 25
 
|-
== Phase 3: Promethium (Levels 50-65) ==
| [[Iron Arrow Heads|Iron]] || 5 || 45 || 1 [[Iron Bar]] || 45
 
|-
At level 50, switch to [[Promethium Bar|Promethium Bars]] for 334 total XP per bar. Promethium requires 10 [[Coal]] and 5 [[Charcoal]] per bar, so you will need a large supply of both.
| [[Silver Arrow Heads|Silver]] || 15 || 72 || 1 [[Silver Bar]] || 72
 
|-
'''Getting Charcoal:''' [[Charcoal]] is made at the Charcoal Kiln on the second floor of the Mine. Each Charcoal costs 50 [[Woodchips]] and 600 [[Coins]]. Woodchips come from [[Woodcutting]] as a byproduct of chopping any tree. Stock up on Woodchips before starting Promethium smelting.
| [[Gold Arrow Heads|Gold]] || 25 || 107 || 1 [[Gold Bar]] || 107
 
|-
[[Promethium]] ore is found in the Mine and in [[Hell]]. Smith [[Promethium Arrow Heads|Promethium Arrowheads]] (level 40, which you already have) for the best XP. You can also forge useful upgrades during this phase: [[Promethium Pickaxe]] and [[Promethium Axe]] at level 40, or a [[Promethium Sword]] at level 55.
| [[Promethium Arrow Heads|Promethium]] || 40 || 184 || 1 [[Promethium Bar]] || 184
 
|-
== Phase 4: Titanium (Levels 65-75) ==
| [[Titanium Arrow Heads|Titanium]] || 50 || 348 || 1 [[Titanium Bar]] || 348
 
|-
At level 65, switch to [[Titanium Bar|Titanium Bars]] for 598 total XP per bar. Titanium requires 25 [[Coal]] and 10 [[Charcoal]] per bar, so fuel costs are significant. [[Titanium]] ore is only found in [[Hell]] and from [[Meteor|Meteors]].
| [[Ancient Arrow Heads|Ancient]] || 60 || 988 || 1 [[Ancient Bar]] || 988
 
|}
Smith [[Titanium Arrow Heads|Titanium Arrowheads]] (level 50) for the best XP. As with Promethium, you may want to forge a [[Titanium Pickaxe]] (level 50) or [[Titanium Axe]] (level 50) for your own use.
 
== Phase 5: Ancient (Level 75+) ==


At level 75, you unlock [[Ancient Bar|Ancient Bar]] smelting for 1,488 total XP per bar (500 smelt + 988 arrowheads). This is by far the best Forging XP in the game and is what you will use all the way to max level.
== High-Tier Forging (Promethium, Titanium, Ancient) ==


Ancient Bars require 50 [[Coal]], 25 [[Charcoal]], and 1 [[Lava Bucket]] per bar on top of the [[Ancient Ore]] itself. The fuel requirements are steep:
The [[Orebar Potion]] does not work on Promethium, Titanium, or Ancient ores, so these must be smelted manually at the Furnace.


'''Getting Lava Buckets:''' You need a [[Graphite Bucket]] (crafted from 10 [[Graphite]] at level 70 [[Crafting]]) which you fill with lava for 10,000 coins. [[Graphite]] is mined in the [[Volcano]] at level 70 [[Mining]]. Lava Buckets are consumed when smelting, so you need one per Ancient Bar.
'''Promethium''' (level 50+): Mined in the Mine and [[Hell]]. Requires 10 [[Coal]] + 5 [[Charcoal]] per bar.


'''Ancient Ore''' is found in the [[Volcano]] (after the Volcanic Bridge [[Quests|Quest]]) and from [[Meteor|Meteors]].
'''Titanium''' (level 65+): Mined in [[Hell]] and from [[Meteor|Meteors]]. Requires 25 [[Coal]] + 10 [[Charcoal]] per bar. Fuel costs are significant, so stockpile Coal and Charcoal beforehand.


Ancient forging also requires the '''Titanium version''' of any item you want to smith (except arrowheads). Since arrowheads do not have this requirement and give the best XP per bar (988 vs 898 for other Ancient recipes), they are the clear best choice.
'''Ancient''' (level 75+): Mined in the [[Volcano]] (after the Volcanic Bridge [[Quests|Quest]]) and from [[Meteor|Meteors]]. Requires 50 [[Coal]], 25 [[Charcoal]], and 1 [[Lava Bucket]] per bar. The most expensive bars to smelt but also the highest XP at 500 smelt + 988 smith (arrowheads) = 1,488 total XP per bar. Ancient smithing also requires the '''Titanium counterpart''' of any item you want to forge (except arrowheads).


== Useful Potions ==
== Other Useful Recipes ==


Several [[Brewing]] potions help with Forging:
'''[[Glass]]''' (level 1, 2 XP): Smelted from [[Sand]]. Low XP but needed for [[Vials]] used in [[Brewing]]. The [[Huge Sandsmelt Potion]] speeds this up 25x.


'''[[Orebar Potion]]''' - Automatically smelts [[Copper]], [[Iron]], [[Silver]], and [[Gold]] ore into bars as you mine them. This skips the Furnace step entirely for lower-tier ores and effectively trains Mining and Forging at the same time. Very useful during early-to-mid levels.
'''[[Necklaces]]''' (level 20-70, 107 XP each): Require an Enchanted Gem (see [[Enchantment]]) and a [[Gold Bar]]. Good use for gems you find while Mining, and the necklaces provide useful Accuracy bonuses.


'''[[Huge Sandsmelt Potion]]''' - Smelts [[Sand]] into [[Glass]] 25 times faster. Glass smelting only gives 2 XP each so it is not efficient for leveling, but this potion is useful if you need large amounts of Glass for [[Vials]] ([[Brewing]]).
'''[[Gold Treasure Chest Key|Treasure Chest Keys]]''' (level 50, 535-635 XP): Require 5 [[Gold Bar|Gold Bars]] plus a gem for upgraded keys. Useful if you have Treasure Maps from [[Hunting]].

This guide covers the fastest way to level Forging to max. Forging is closely tied to Mining since you need ores to smelt, so the two skills are best trained together (see Mining - Guide).

Overview

The fastest way to level Forging is not to sit at the Furnace and Anvils all day. Instead, the most efficient strategy is to use Orebar Potions while Mining, which automatically smelt Copper, Iron, Silver, and Gold ore into bars as you mine them. This lets you train Mining and Forging at the same time with no extra effort.

The general strategy is:

  1. Use Orebar Potions while mining Iron at the 3-Iron spot (level 60+ with a Promethium Pickaxe or better).
  2. Once you can mine Silver at max speed (level 80+ with an Ancient Pickaxe), switch to the 3-Silver spot with Orebar Potions for the fastest combined Mining + Forging XP in the game.
  3. Smelt and smith any leftover ores from Meteors (Gold, Silver, Iron, etc.) whenever you collect them.
  4. For high-tier bars (Promethium, Titanium, Ancient), smelt manually at the Furnace and smith items as needed.

Orebar Potion Strategy (Fastest XP/h)

The Orebar Potion is a Brewing potion that automatically smelts Copper, Iron, Silver, and Gold ore into bars as you mine them. Each ore you mine is instantly converted into a bar, giving you both Mining XP and Forging smelt XP simultaneously. This is the single most efficient way to train Forging because you are not spending any extra time at the Furnace.

How it works: With an active Orebar Potion, every ore you mine is auto-smelted into a bar and you receive Forging smelt XP. No Coal or other fuel is needed - the potion handles the conversion entirely on its own.

Best ore to mine with Orebar:

Ore Mining Level Mining XP Forging XP (auto-smelt) Recommended Setup
Iron 5 40 25 3-Iron spot, level 60+ with Promethium Pickaxe
Silver 15 90 40 3-Silver spot, level 80+ with Ancient Pickaxe
Gold 30 500 60 Wherever available

The 3-Iron and 3-Silver spots refer to clusters of three rocks that can be cycled without waiting for respawns. See the Mining - Guide for full details on these spots and XP rates.

Silver at max speed is the best overall method. At level 80+ with an Ancient Pickaxe, you earn massive Mining XP and 40 Forging XP per ore, all while barely touching the Furnace.

Combining Orebar + Mining Potion

For maximum efficiency, use an Orebar Potion and a Mining Potion at the same time. The Mining Potion doubles the ore and Mining XP you receive per rock, and since the Orebar Potion auto-smelts each ore, you also receive double the bars and double the Forging XP. This is the fastest possible way to train both skills simultaneously.

Meteor Ores

Meteors drop a mix of ores including Gold, Silver, Iron, and others. Any ores you collect from Meteors can be smelted at the Furnace for additional Forging XP. Since Meteor ores are essentially free, always smelt them when you get a chance.

Smelting Materials

For manual smelting at the Furnace, here are the material requirements for each bar:

Bar Smelt Level Smelt XP Ore Coal Charcoal Other
Bronze Bar 1 10 1 Copper 1 - -
Iron Bar 5 25 1 Iron 1 - -
Silver Bar 15 40 1 Silver 2 - -
Gold Bar 30 60 1 Gold 3 - -
Promethium Bar 50 150 1 Promethium 10 5 -
Titanium Bar 65 250 1 Titanium 25 10 -
Ancient Bar 75 500 1 Ancient Ore 50 25 1 Lava Bucket

Getting Charcoal: Made at the Charcoal Kiln on the second floor of the Mine. Each Charcoal costs 50 Woodchips and 600 Coins. Woodchips are a byproduct of Woodcutting.

Getting Lava Buckets: Requires a Graphite Bucket (crafted from 10 Graphite at level 70 Crafting) filled with lava. Lava Buckets are consumed when smelting Ancient Bars, so you need one per bar.

What to Smith

All smithing recipes within the same metal tier give the same Forging XP per bar used. A Bronze Sword (15 bars, 375 XP) gives exactly 25 XP per bar, same as Bronze Arrowheads (1 bar, 25 XP). So there is no XP advantage to any particular recipe - smith whatever you actually need.

Recommended: Upgrade your pickaxes and axes, forge Armour sets for combat, or make Necklaces from your gems. Since XP per bar is the same regardless of what you smith, there is no penalty for making useful gear instead of grinding one recipe.

Arrowheads for Archery: While arrowheads are not better XP than other recipes, they are worth stockpiling over time for Archery training. High-level Archery requires large quantities of arrows, and having a supply of arrowheads ready saves time later. Since XP per bar is identical either way, making arrowheads when you do not need other items is a smart long-term investment.

Arrowheads (10x) Smith Level XP Bars XP/Bar
Bronze 1 25 1 Bronze Bar 25
Iron 5 45 1 Iron Bar 45
Silver 15 72 1 Silver Bar 72
Gold 25 107 1 Gold Bar 107
Promethium 40 184 1 Promethium Bar 184
Titanium 50 348 1 Titanium Bar 348
Ancient 60 988 1 Ancient Bar 988

High-Tier Forging (Promethium, Titanium, Ancient)

The Orebar Potion does not work on Promethium, Titanium, or Ancient ores, so these must be smelted manually at the Furnace.

Promethium (level 50+): Mined in the Mine and Hell. Requires 10 Coal + 5 Charcoal per bar.

Titanium (level 65+): Mined in Hell and from Meteors. Requires 25 Coal + 10 Charcoal per bar. Fuel costs are significant, so stockpile Coal and Charcoal beforehand.

Ancient (level 75+): Mined in the Volcano (after the Volcanic Bridge Quest) and from Meteors. Requires 50 Coal, 25 Charcoal, and 1 Lava Bucket per bar. The most expensive bars to smelt but also the highest XP at 500 smelt + 988 smith (arrowheads) = 1,488 total XP per bar. Ancient smithing also requires the Titanium counterpart of any item you want to forge (except arrowheads).

Other Useful Recipes

Glass (level 1, 2 XP): Smelted from Sand. Low XP but needed for Vials used in Brewing. The Huge Sandsmelt Potion speeds this up 25x.

Necklaces (level 20-70, 107 XP each): Require an Enchanted Gem (see Enchantment) and a Gold Bar. Good use for gems you find while Mining, and the necklaces provide useful Accuracy bonuses.

Treasure Chest Keys (level 50, 535-635 XP): Require 5 Gold Bars plus a gem for upgraded keys. Useful if you have Treasure Maps from Hunting.

Tips

Train Mining and Forging together. The Orebar Potion makes this seamless. Follow the Mining - Guide for optimal ore spots while your Forging levels up passively.

Stockpile Coal. Coal is the universal fuel for smelting. Mine extra Coal whenever you can, especially before tackling Promethium and above.

Stockpile Woodchips. You will need thousands of Woodchips for Charcoal production once you start smelting Promethium+. Chop trees regularly and bank the Woodchips.

Use Bulk Smelt at the Furnace when manually smelting to process multiple bars at once.

The Furnace and Anvils are both in the Mine (Anvils on the second floor, same area as the Charcoal Kiln). Plan your trips to do smelting, charcoal, and smithing together.
