Ranking Tiers Explained

• S Tier: The best pickaxes for progression, with good stats and low price, allowing cheap rune inserts.
• A Tier: Decent pickaxes that aren’t as economic or as strong as the S-tier ones, but are still good for progression.
• B Tier: Bad pickaxes that aren’t really worth buying.

In the tier list above, you can check out the overall ranking of all pickaxes in The Forge, based on how good a purchase they are. Check out the ranking notes below to learn what makes a pickaxe a good purchase, and other tier list-related info.

Tier List Ranking Notes

• Why is Mine Power Important: The base Mine Power of a pickaxe determines which ores you can mine, and if it’s too low, you won’t be able to mine some rocks. For example, the Uranium Pickaxe is a terrible purchase as it isn’t a massive improvement over the Titanium Pickaxe, and it also can’t mine Basalt Veins, which require 78 Mine Power.
• Why is Price Important: As you’re progressing, you won’t have unlimited money, and therefore, it’s important you don’t waste it on an expensive pickaxe that won’t even speed you up. For example, the Demonic Pickaxe seems good on paper, but it’s 4x more expensive than the Arcane Pickaxe, and slotting in runes is 4x more expensive as well! You’ll need $1,000,000 to make it marginally better than a $200,000 pickaxe, which is just not worth it.
• Why is Lightite Pickaxe so Good: Because it has a low cost, and is also better than the Arcane Pickaxe without any runes.

Best Pickaxe Progression in The Forge

Pro Tip for Buying New Pickaxes: There is a trick you can use to buy new pickaxes earlier than you might think. This is best done for more expensive pickaxes. Here is how it works:

1. OPTIONAL: Roll the Goblin race on another slot and equip it before purchasing a new pickaxe for that 12% discount.
2. Save up enough money so you’re missing less than 75% of your current pickaxe’s value.
3. Buy Bronze pickaxe ($150).
4. Sell your old pickaxe for 75% of its value.
   • IMPORTANT: Do NOT detach runes! It’s a waste of money, and they are easy to farm anyway.
5. Buy the new pickaxe.
6. Sell the Bronze Pickaxe.

Based on the tier list above, the ore requirements you’ll need to meet and the quests that those will be important for, here is the best possible pickaxe progression path in The Forge right now:

1. Bronze Pickaxe: Allows you to 2-hit Pebbles, farm ores, craft a few Heavy Armor pieces, and get the next pickaxe ASAP. Check out our ultimate guide on how to make money in The Forge to learn the best crafting and money-farming method.
2. Gold Pickaxe: Allows you to 1-hit Pebbles and 3-hit Rocks. It’s the best pickaxe you can get that early into the game.
3. Platinum Pickaxe: The best pickaxe in World 1, allowing you to 4-hit Boulders if you get the Mine Power boost from achievements, runes, or your race.
4. Cobalt Pickaxe: The first pickaxe in World 2 and it allows you to 7-hit Basalt Rocks.
5. Titanium Pickaxe: One of the pickaxes you’ll be using the longest. It can 5-hit Basalt Rocks and 15-hit Basalt Cores. It’s really good, and it also doesn’t cost much.
6. Lightite Pickaxe: The best and most economical pickaxe you can get in World 2. It’s cheap compared to other strong World 2 pickaxes, and it has amazing base stats.
7. [OPTIONAL] Arcane Pickaxe: The Arcane Pickaxe is an optional min-max you can go for, as it doesn’t have much better stats than the Lightite Pickaxe.
