How Recipes Work in The Forge
Understanding The Forge recipes system is crucial for crafting optimal equipment. Each recipe requires 3-4 ores, with higher rarity ores providing better multipliers (1.0x to 4.6x). The final equipment stats are calculated by multiplying base stats by the average ore multiplier, and using multiple of the same ore strengthens that ore's trait.

Ore Combinations for The Forge Recipes
Understanding ore combinations is essential for creating the best recipes. Each ore has unique multipliers (ranging from 1.0x to 4.6x) and special traits that affect your final equipment. Legendary ores like Lightite (4.6x), Darkryte (4.2x), and Demonite (4.0x) provide the highest stats, while combining synergistic ores creates powerful recipe combinations.

FAQ - The Forge Recipes
What are the best recipes in The Forge?
The best recipes depend on your build. For DPS weapons, use 3x Magmaite + 1x Fireite (katana). For tank armor, use 3x Darkryte + 1x Mythril (knight helmet). For speed builds, use 3x Lightite + 1x Eye Ore (samurai armor).
How many ores do I need for a recipe?
Each recipe in The Forge requires 3-4 ores. Using 4 ores gives higher base stats than 3 ores, but costs more materials. Most meta recipes use 4 ores for maximum stats.
Can I change a recipe after crafting?
No, recipes are permanent once crafted. You cannot change or modify equipment after forging. The recipe calculator (coming soon) will help you test recipes before crafting with rare ores.
What is the best ore for weapon recipes?
Magmaite is the best ore for weapon recipes due to its 3.8x multiplier and 50% AOE explosion trait. For sustained DPS, Demonite (4.0x multiplier) is also excellent.
What is the best ore for armor recipes?
Darkryte is the best ore for armor recipes, offering a 4.2x multiplier and dodge trait. Lightite (4.6x multiplier) is best for speed armor, while Mythril works well for beginners.
Where do I find legendary ores for recipes?
Legendary ores (Magmaite, Darkryte, Demonite, Lightite) are found in Forgotten Kingdom's Volcanic Rock nodes. You need the Arcane Pickaxe to mine them. Drop rates range from 1/1647 to 1/3333.
Do recipe traits stack?
Yes, using multiple of the same ore in a recipe strengthens that ore's trait. For example, 4x Magmaite maximizes the AOE explosion chance to 35% proc rate, while 2x Magmaite + 2x Fireite gives weaker AOE but adds burn damage.
What recipes should beginners use?
Beginners should start with Iron + Copper recipes (3x Iron + 1x Copper for weapons). Once you reach level 10, upgrade to Eye Ore + Mythril recipes (2x Eye Ore + 2x Mythril) for better stats with accessible ores.
How do I get codes for better recipes?
Redeem codes like 300K! for Luck Totems that increase legendary ore drop rates. This helps you farm rare ores needed for top-tier recipes. Check our codes page for all active codes.
What is the highest damage weapon recipe?
The highest damage weapon recipe is 4x Magmaite for katana, reaching ~150 base damage with 35% AOE explosion chance. For balanced DPS, use 3x Magmaite + 1x Fireite (~145 damage with burn DOT).
What is the highest defense armor recipe?
The highest defense armor recipe is 2x Darkryte + 2x Obsidian for Knight Chestplate, reaching ~110 defense with dodge trait and flat bonuses. Full Darkryte set (4x per piece) provides maximum survivability.
Can I use the same recipe for all armor pieces?
