The Forge (Roblox) Crafting Guide: Legendary Arcane Pickaxe

The ultimate tool for the ultimate blacksmith.

In The Forge on Roblox, the Legendary Arcane Pickaxe is the status symbol. It glows purple, mines instantly, and doubles your ore yield.

But getting it? That's a journey.

I spent 2 weeks grinding for this item. Here is the complete roadmap so you can do it in 3 days.

Stats & Benefits

Why is it worth the grind?

Stat	Iron Pickaxe	Arcane Pickaxe
Mining Speed	100%	350%
Durability	500	5,000
Special Effect	None	Double Ore Chance (20%)
Enchant Slots	1	3

It pays for itself in one day of mining Mithril.

Step 1: The Blueprint

You can't craft it without the recipe.

Location: Sold by the Grandmaster Smith in High Forge City.
Requirement: 5,000 Reputation Points.
Cost: 100,000 Gold.

See my Reputation Guide on how to farm rep fast.

Step 2: Gathering Materials

This is the hard part. You need rare drops from three different zones.

Material Checklist

Material	Quantity	Location	Difficulty
Arcane Ore	50	Forgotten Kingdom (Deep)	High
Void Crystal	5	Crypt Lord Boss	Extreme
Star Metal	10	Meteor Events (Night only)	Medium
Magic Handle	1	Crafted (Wood + Mana Dust)	Low

Pro Tip: Use a Recall Scroll immediately after finding Arcane Ore. If you die, you lose it.

Step 3: The Perfect Smelt

You cannot use Coal for this. You MUST use Arcane Essence (crafted from Magic Dust).

Temperature Window: Extremely small (Golden Zone is 5 pixels wide).
Risk: If you burn Arcane Ore, you have to farm it again.

Recommendation: Practice on Mithril first. If you can't hit 10/10 Perfect Mithril smelts, don't touch the Arcane Ore yet. Read my Temperature Guide.

Step 4: The Forging Ritual

This isn't a normal craft. It's a boss fight against the anvil.

Go to the Ancient Anvil in the Forgotten Kingdom. (Regular anvils won't work).
Start the Minigame: It's faster and harder than normal.
Perfect Strikes: You need at least 90% Perfect Strikes to get "Legendary" quality.

If you fail the minigame, you get an "Epic" version. Still good, but not Legendary.

Team Strategy: Bring a Bard (support class) to buff your focus before you start.

Step 5: Enchanting

Once crafted, don't stop there.

Best Runes for Arcane Pickaxe:

Terra (Earth): Unbreaking durability.
Fortuna (Luck): Increases double ore chance to 30%.
Celerity (Speed): Makes mining instant.

Final Thoughts

Holding the Arcane Pickaxe for the first time is the best feeling in The Forge. You are no longer a novice. You are a Master Smith.

Good luck with the Void Crystals. You'll need it.
