How to Forge Equipment
Forging isn't just clicking a button—it's a skill-based minigame. Better performance means higher Crafting Quality (up to 100%), which directly boosts your item's stats.
Interact with the Anvil. Add up to 4 different ores. Remember: Rare ores act as Multipliers. Use our Calculator to simulate the outcome. Calculator
Hold the green button and move your mouse up/down to pump air. Keep the heat high to melt the ore efficiently.
Keep the white indicator inside the moving yellow bar. Precision here ensures a flawless mold pour.
The hardest part. Tap when the outer circle overlaps the inner circle perfectly (turns green). Perfect hits grant massive quality bonuses.
Mining & Money
Mining is your primary source of income. Equip your pickaxe (Slot 2) and hit rocks in The Cave.
- Early Game: Mine Stone and Copper. Sell them to Greedy Cey for quick cash. Don't forge everything you mine!
- AFK Farming: Once you unlock the Forgotten Kingdom, head to the Volcano. The rocks respawn fast enough for infinite mining.
- Luck vs Speed: Always prioritize Luck. One Galaxite (11.5x Multiplier) is worth hours of Stone mining.
Essential Pickaxe Progression
Combat Mechanics
Combat relies on timing rather than ability spam. There are no cooldown skills—only Light Attack, Heavy Attack (R), and Block (F).
Weapon Types Matter
Colossal Swords deal massive damage but are slow. Daggers are fast but require close range. Choose a weapon that fits your playstyle from our Weapon Tier List. Weapon Tier List
The Art of Parrying
A perfectly timed Block results in a Parry, stunning the enemy and opening them up for a free Heavy Attack combo. Practice this on early Zombies.
Enhancing & Runes
Forged a good weapon? Make it god-tier.
Enhancing (Essences)
Use Essences dropped by enemies to upgrade item levels. Enhancing is required to unlock Rune Slots on your gear.
Runes
Visit the Runemaker to slot Runes. These add passive effects like Lifesteal, Burn, or Thorns. Don't worry—you can remove runes later to reuse them!
