Fast Pickaxe Progression Route

The Forge guide · Updated

Short answer

Follow a strict pickaxe upgrade path from the Iron Pickaxe up to World 3 tools while utilizing the Goblin race for discounts.

What is the fastest pickaxe progression path in The Forge?

  1. Start by completing Sensei Moro's tutorial quests in Island 1 and buy the Iron Pickaxe, then farm heavy chest plates to sell for early cash.
  2. Save 1,500 gold for the Gold Pickaxe, reach level 10, and transition to Island 2 for the Cobalt and Mithril pickaxes.
  3. Obtain the Goblin race early to receive a 12% discount on all shop purchases, saving millions on advanced pickaxes.
  4. Complete Sensei Moro's questline in Island 3 to unlock essential progression tools like the Water Pickaxe and Ice Pickaxe instead of skipping straight to demon tiers.
