How to Get Goblin Crown in The Forge

How to Get Goblin Crown in The Forge (January 2026) Complete Guide

Table Of Contents

Getting the Goblin Crown in The Forge is one of the most expensive and time-consuming challenges you’ll face in this Roblox game. I’ve spent countless hours grinding through the Goblin Lord questline, and I’m here to share everything I’ve learned so you can unlock this legendary Heavy Helmet recipe without wasting precious resources or time.

The Goblin Crown isn’t just another armor piece. It’s a game-changing Heavy Helmet that offers massive health boosts, making it essential for tank builds and late-game progression. But here’s the catch: you’ll need to invest $550,000 gold and nine rare ores just to unlock the recipe. Then comes the real grind of actually crafting it.

In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk you through every single step, from prerequisites to final crafting, complete with insider tips that’ll save you hours of frustration.

What is the Goblin Crown in The Forge?

Before we dive into the how-to, let’s talk about what makes the Goblin Crown worth all this effort.

The Goblin Crown is a legendary Heavy Helmet that dramatically changes your playstyle. When you craft and equip this armor piece, you’ll gain:

StatEffect
Max Health (Vitality)+70% to +90% boost
Movement Speed (Swiftness)-25% or more reduction
DefenseSignificantly increased
Weight ClassHeavy Helmet category

This makes the Goblin Crown the ultimate tank item in The Forge. You become nearly indestructible in combat, capable of absorbing massive damage that would instantly kill other players. The trade-off? You’ll move considerably slower, turning you into what I like to call a “walking fortress.”

The helmet is perfect for:

  • Boss fights where survivability matters more than mobility
  • PvP tank builds focused on outlasting opponents
  • Mining dangerous areas with aggressive enemies
  • Support roles in group content

However, the Goblin Crown isn’t tradeable between players, meaning every single person must complete the entire Goblin Lord questline themselves. There are no shortcuts.

Prerequisites: What You Need Before Starting?

You can’t just waltz into Frostspire Expanse and start the Goblin Lord quests. There’s a specific progression path you must follow first, and skipping any step will completely lock you out.

Level Requirements

  • Minimum Level: 70
  • Recommended Level: 75+

At level 70, you’ll unlock access to Frostspire Expanse (Island 3), where the Goblin Lord resides. However, I strongly recommend getting to 75 or higher before starting this questline. The enemies in this area hit hard, and you’ll need the extra stats to survive while farming.

Required Items and Tools

1. Portal Tool You absolutely need the Portal Tool to access different islands in The Forge. To get it:

  • Complete all Sensei Moro quests at the starting island
  • Visit the Wizard at the end of the island
  • Receive the Portal Tool upon quest completion
  • Reach level 10 to unlock travel to Forgotten Kingdom

2. Goblin King Quest Completion This is non-negotiable. The Goblin Lord only appears after you’ve finished the Goblin King questline in the Forgotten Kingdom. Here’s what the Goblin King demands:

Quest StageGold RequiredGems Required
Quest 1$10,000
Quest 2$15,0001 Topaz
Quest 3$15,0001 Diamond, 1 Emerald, 1 Ruby
Quest 4$15,0001 Diamond, 1 Emerald, 1 Ruby
Quest 5$20,0001 Diamond, 1 Emerald, 1 Ruby, 1 Topaz

Total Investment: $75,000 gold + 3 Topaz + 5 Diamonds + 5 Emeralds + 5 Rubies

Once you complete these quests, the Goblin King disappears from the Forgotten Kingdom and reappears as the Goblin Lord in Frostspire Expanse, now decked out in golden armor and riches.

3. Strong Pickaxe You’ll need a pickaxe with solid mining power to gather the rare ores required. I recommend:

  • Mythril Pickaxe (minimum 80 damage)
  • Velchire Pickaxe (preferred)
  • Any pickaxe with 100+ damage

4. Luck Potions Stock up on Luck Potions before starting. These significantly improve your chances of finding rare ores like Snowite and Iceite. You’ll want at least 10-15 Luck Potions to complete the entire questline efficiently.

5. Gold Reserves Have at least $600,000 gold saved up before starting. While the questline costs $550,000, you’ll want extra buffer for:

  • Buying additional Luck Potions
  • Repairing pickaxes
  • Purchasing healing potions
  • Having emergency funds

Recommended Gear Setup

Armor:

  • Full set of Epic or Legendary armor
  • Focus on defense and health stats
  • Raven Helmet provides excellent protection

Weapons:

  • High DPS weapon for enemy clearing
  • AoE abilities help with mob farming
  • Skill-focused builds work better than single-target

Runes:

  • Mining power enhancement runes
  • Ore-finding ability runes
  • Movement speed runes to offset slow travel

Finding the Goblin Lord’s Location in Frostspire Expanse

Finding the Goblin Lord's Location in Frostspire Expanse

This is where most players get stuck. The Goblin Lord’s cave isn’t marked on any map, and his location feels intentionally hidden. I spent two hours wandering around Frostspire Expanse before finally finding him, so let me save you that frustration.

Step-by-Step Navigation Guide

Step 1: Reach Frostspire Expanse

  • Use your Portal Tool
  • Select Island 3 (Frostspire Expanse)
  • Make sure you’re level 70 or higher

Step 2: Locate the Spider Cave When you spawn into Frostspire Expanse, the Spider Cave is your main landmark. It’s a large cave entrance that’s hard to miss. Head towards it but don’t enter yet.

Step 3: Navigate to the Goblin Lord’s Cave Here’s the exact path:

  1. Stand at the Spider Cave entrance
  2. Look for the Orc’s Cave to your left
  3. Instead of going straight toward the Orc’s Cave, take a LEFT turn
  4. You’ll see a narrow path leading upward
  5. Follow this path as it winds up the mountain
  6. Look for a cave entrance with two goblin guards standing outside
  7. This is the Goblin Lord’s cave

Visual Landmarks to Look For

The cave entrance has several distinctive features:

  • Two armed goblin guards with battleaxes
  • Torch lighting on both sides
  • A narrow entrance compared to other caves
  • Rocky terrain leading up to it

Once you enter, you’ll find the Goblin Lord sitting on a throne at the back of the cave. He’s wearing fully golden armor with an emerald necklace and is already wearing a Goblin’s Crown (the one he bought with your money from the Forgotten Kingdom quests).

Pro Tip: I strongly recommend having at least $550,000-$600,000 gold in your inventory before even talking to the Goblin Lord. Starting his questline without sufficient funds is incredibly frustrating because you can’t progress until you farm more gold.

Complete Goblin Lord Quest Breakdown

The Goblin Lord doesn’t give you traditional quests with objectives. Instead, he demands sequential “donations” – essentially making you pay tribute in exchange for the Goblin Crown recipe. Think of it as a brutal economic negotiation where he holds all the cards.

All Five Goblin Lord Quests

QuestGold CostOre RequirementsTotal Cost
1$25,000None$25,000
2$50,0001 Velchire$50,000 + 1 Velchire
3$75,0002 Sanctis$75,000 + 2 Sanctis
4$150,0003 Snowite$150,000 + 3 Snowite
5$250,0003 Iceite$250,000 + 3 Iceite
TOTAL$550,0001 Velchire, 2 Sanctis, 3 Snowite, 3 IceiteComplete Set

You must complete these quests in order. Missing one or failing to meet the requirements locks you out of progression until you gather the necessary resources.

Quest 1: The Entry Fee ($25,000 Gold)

This is the easiest quest and serves as the “entry fee” to the Goblin Lord’s questline.

Requirements:

  • $25,000 gold

Completion Time: Instant (if you have the gold)

Tips:

  • Complete gold-farming quests from Sensei Moro before starting
  • AFK farm spots can generate 5,000-10,000 gold per hour
  • Don’t start this quest until you have at least $100,000 saved up

Once you hand over the gold, the Goblin Lord immediately presents Quest 2. There’s no waiting period.

Quest 2: Velchire Collection ($50,000 + 1 Velchire)

Now things get interesting. You need both gold AND a specific rare ore.

Requirements:

  • $50,000 gold
  • 1 Velchire ore

Where to Find Velchire: Velchire is a high-rarity ore found exclusively on Island 3 (Frostspire Expanse). The best mining locations are:

  • Spider Cave interior sections
  • Rocky outcrops near the Peak
  • Crystal formations in elevated areas

Drop Rate: Approximately 1 in 800-1,000 rocks

Farming Strategy:

  1. Equip a pickaxe with at least 100 mining power
  2. Use a Luck Potion before mining
  3. Focus on glowing crystal formations
  4. Mine in the Spider Cave’s deeper sections

Average Time: 30-60 minutes with Luck Potions

My Experience: With a Luck Potion active and a Velchire Pickaxe, I found my first Velchire after breaking about 700 rocks. Without Luck Potions, expect this to take 2-3 hours.

Quest 3: Sanctis Gathering ($75,000 + 2 Sanctis)

The difficulty ramps up significantly here. Not only do you need more gold, but you need TWO Sanctis ores.

Requirements:

  • $75,000 gold
  • 2 Sanctis ore

Where to Find Sanctis: Sanctis is rarer than Velchire and requires specific mining locations:

  • Peak Cave crystalline formations
  • Frozen rock veins in elevated terrain
  • Icy Pebble clusters near the Yeti spawn

Drop Rate: Approximately 1 in 1,200-1,500 rocks

Farming Strategy:

  1. Head to the Peak Cave area
  2. Activate Luck Potions before each mining session
  3. Focus on larger crystal clusters
  4. Target icy-looking blue formations
  5. Bring healing potions as enemies spawn frequently

Average Time: 1-2 hours per Sanctis (2-4 hours total)

Important Note: Sanctis has a bluish glow when you’re near it. Don’t confuse it with regular ice formations.

Pro Tip: I recommend farming both Sanctis ores before paying the $75,000. This way, you can immediately submit everything and move to Quest 4 without interruption.

Quest 4: Snowite Hunt ($150,000 + 3 Snowite) – The Bottleneck

This is where the Goblin Lord questline becomes genuinely challenging. Quest 4 requires THREE Snowite ores, and Snowite has one of the lowest drop rates in the entire game.

Requirements:

  • $150,000 gold
  • 3 Snowite ore

Where to Find Snowite: Snowite ONLY spawns from Icy Pebbles in very specific locations:

  • Spider Cave deep interior (primary source)
  • Frozen sections near Crystal Spiders
  • Hidden alcoves in the cave system

Drop Rate: Approximately 1 in 2,000-2,500 Icy Pebbles

Why This Is the Bottleneck: Snowite has the worst combination of factors:

  • Extremely low drop rate
  • Limited spawn locations
  • Icy Pebbles respawn slower than regular rocks
  • Aggressive enemy spawns in mining areas

Farming Strategy (Optimized):

  1. Enter Spider Cave and clear all enemies first
  2. Locate Icy Pebble clusters (they look like small frozen rocks)
  3. Activate Luck Potion
  4. Mine every single Icy Pebble you see
  5. Server hop to reset Icy Pebble spawns
  6. Repeat until you have 3 Snowite

Server Hopping Method:

  • Join a different server after clearing all Icy Pebbles
  • This resets all ore spawns instantly
  • More efficient than waiting for natural respawns

Average Time: 4-8 hours total (varies dramatically with RNG)

My Experience: This took me the longest by far. I spent roughly 6 hours across two days farming Snowite. With consistent Luck Potion usage and server hopping, I eventually got all three. My advice? Do this in multiple sessions to avoid burnout.

Critical Tip: Don’t waste Luck Potions on regular rocks during this phase. Save them exclusively for Icy Pebble mining sessions.

Quest 5: Iceite Finale ($250,000 + 3 Iceite) – The Final Push

You’re almost there. The final quest requires the largest gold investment and three Iceite ores.

Requirements:

  • $250,000 gold
  • 3 Iceite ore

Where to Find Iceite: Iceite is another high-rarity ore found in cold regions:

  • Summit’s Edge ice formations
  • Peak Cave crystalline sections
  • Frozen rock veins at high elevations
  • Areas near the Ice Golem Boss spawn

Drop Rate: Approximately 1 in 1,800-2,000 rocks

Farming Strategy:

  1. Navigate to Summit’s Edge
  2. Look for pure ice formations (not regular rocks)
  3. Use Luck Potions consistently
  4. Mine large crystal clusters
  5. Focus on bluish-white glowing ores

Average Time: 3-5 hours total

Farming Optimization:

  • The area behind the Rune Door has higher Iceite spawn rates
  • Server hopping works here too
  • Mining during game events can boost drop rates

My Experience: After the Snowite nightmare, Iceite felt easier. I found all three in about 4 hours of focused mining with Luck Potions. The Summit’s Edge area is dangerous with Elite Orcs and occasional Ice Golem spawns, so bring good armor.

Final Quest Completion: Once you submit the $250,000 gold and 3 Iceite, the Goblin Lord thanks you for your “generous donation” and the Goblin Crown recipe automatically unlocks in your Forging menu under Heavy Helmet.

Important: You don’t receive a physical item. The recipe is added directly to your crafting options.

Essential Tips and Strategies for Success

After completing this grueling questline myself, here are the insider strategies I wish I knew from the beginning.

Gold Farming Strategies

1. Sensei Moro Quest Chain The absolute best gold source in The Forge. Each of Sensei Moro’s quests rewards substantial gold:

  • Early quests: $5,000-$10,000 each
  • Mid quests: $15,000-$25,000 each
  • Late quests: $30,000-$50,000 each

Complete his entire questline before starting the Goblin Lord quests. This alone can generate $200,000+ gold.

2. AFK Farming Spots Set up in high-density enemy spawn areas:

  • Orc Camp (5,000-8,000 gold per hour)
  • Spider Cave entrance (7,000-10,000 gold per hour)
  • Crystal Golem area (10,000-15,000 gold per hour with good gear)

3. Boss Farming If you have strong gear:

  • Ice Golem Boss: 15,000-25,000 gold per kill
  • Yeti Boss: 12,000-20,000 gold per kill
  • Crystal Golem: 8,000-15,000 gold per kill

4. Ore Selling Sell any extra rare ores you don’t need:

  • Don’t sell Velchire, Sanctis, Snowite, or Iceite until after quest completion
  • Sell duplicate Legendary ores for 5,000-10,000 gold each
  • Epic ores sell for 1,000-3,000 gold

Ore Farming Optimization

Best Pickaxe Progression:

  1. Mythril Pickaxe (starting Island 3 pickaxe)
  2. Velchire Pickaxe (significantly faster mining)
  3. Prismatic Pickaxe (best for rare ore farming)
  4. Dragon Head Pickaxe (endgame, unlocked after other quests)

Luck Potion Management:

  • Each Luck Potion lasts 10 minutes
  • Use them during focused ore-farming sessions only
  • Don’t waste them on general mining
  • Buy in bulk (15-20 potions) before starting

Rune Setup for Mining: Equip your pickaxe with runes that boost:

  • Mining power (faster breaking)
  • Ore detection range (see ore spawns from further away)
  • Luck/Fortune effects (higher rare ore chances)

Server Hopping for Efficiency: When an area’s ores are depleted:

  1. Leave the game
  2. Join a different server
  3. All ore spawns reset instantly
  4. Much faster than waiting for natural respawns

This technique is especially crucial for Snowite farming.

Race Selection Benefits

Certain races in The Forge provide significant advantages for this questline:

Best Races for Goblin Lord Quests:

  1. Goblin Race – Higher chance of valuable loot drops from all sources
  2. Elf Race – Increased rare ore finding ability
  3. Dwarf Race – Mining speed bonuses
  4. Human Race – Balanced stats with gold-finding bonuses

I recommend rerolling for Goblin or Elf race before starting serious ore farming. The difference is noticeable over hundreds of ore gathering sessions.

Combat Preparation

Don’t underestimate the combat requirements. Frostspire Expanse is dangerous:

Enemy Threats:

  • Elite Orcs (high damage, common spawns)
  • Crystal Spiders (poison effects)
  • Crystal Golems (massive health pools)
  • Ice Golem Boss (15,000 HP, devastating attacks)
  • Yeti (fast, high burst damage)

Recommended Combat Stats:

  • Health: 2,000+ HP
  • Defense: 150+ armor rating
  • Damage: 300+ DPS minimum
  • Skills: AoE abilities for crowd control

Best Armor Sets:

  • Samurai Armor (balanced defense and mobility)
  • Raven Armor (strong defense, obtained from earlier quests)
  • Any Legendary tier armor set
  • Focus on health and defense over damage

Time Management Strategy

This isn’t a one-day grind. Plan your time wisely:

Suggested Schedule:

  • Day 1: Farm gold ($550,000 total)
  • Day 2: Farm Velchire (1) and Sanctis (2)
  • Day 3: Farm Snowite (3) – the longest day
  • Day 4: Farm Iceite (3)
  • Day 5: Complete all quest turn-ins

Breaking it into multiple sessions prevents burnout and keeps the grind manageable.

Session Length Recommendations:

  • Gold farming: 2-3 hour sessions
  • Ore farming: 1.5-2 hour sessions with breaks
  • Server hopping when frustrated (RNG can be demoralizing)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: Starting Without Enough Gold Don’t talk to the Goblin Lord until you have $600,000 saved. Running out of gold mid-questline forces you to pause and farm more, breaking your momentum.

Mistake #2: Not Using Luck Potions Luck Potions are ESSENTIAL for rare ore farming. Without them, you’ll spend 2-3x longer on Snowite and Iceite collection.

Mistake #3: Ignoring the Goblin King Prerequisite You absolutely must complete the Goblin King questline first. The Goblin Lord won’t even appear in Frostspire Expanse until you do.

Mistake #4: Poor Pickaxe Choice Using a weak pickaxe dramatically increases farming time. Invest in at least a Mythril or Velchire Pickaxe before starting serious ore collection.

Mistake #5: Selling Required Ores Double-check before selling any Velchire, Sanctis, Snowite, or Iceite. Some players accidentally sell these ores, then have to farm them again.

Mistake #6: Farming Ores Out of Order Farm all ores for a quest BEFORE paying the gold. This ensures smooth progression and prevents getting stuck.

Mistake #7: Solo Boss Fighting If you’re trying to farm gold from bosses, group up with other players. Solo boss fights take much longer and risk death with no loot.

Crafting the Goblin Crown Recipe

Congratulations! You’ve unlocked the Goblin Crown recipe. But wait – you’re not done yet. Now comes the crafting phase, which has its own challenges.

Recipe Unlock Location

After completing Quest 5, check your Forging menu:

  1. Open your Forge interface
  2. Navigate to Heavy Helmet category
  3. The Goblin Crown recipe appears to the right of the Raven’s Helmet
  4. You won’t receive a physical item – it’s automatically added

Understanding the RNG Crafting System

Here’s where The Forge throws you a curveball. The Goblin Crown uses an RNG crafting system:

How It Works:

  • The recipe requires 25 ores to craft
  • When you forge it, the game randomly selects ONE item from the entire Heavy Helmet pool
  • You might get:
    • Common helmet (most likely)
    • Raven Helmet (uncommon)
    • Goblin’s Crown (rare)
    • Other Heavy Helmets (various rarities)

Drop Rate: Approximately 1 in 8-12 crafts for Goblin’s Crown

This means you’ll likely need to craft the recipe multiple times before actually getting the Goblin’s Crown itself.

Required Crafting Materials

Per Craft Attempt:

  • 25 ores (any combination works)

Recommended Ores:

  • Iron Ore (cheapest, easiest to farm)
  • Copper Ore (abundant on early islands)
  • Velchire (if you have extras)
  • Any common Epic/Rare ores

Total Material Investment: For an average success (8-12 attempts):

  • 200-300 ores total
  • Multiple Luck Potions for ore farming
  • Time: 3-5 hours of ore gathering

Optimal Crafting Materials to Use

Best Ores for Crafting (Efficiency):

  1. Iron – Most abundant, found everywhere
  2. Copper – Second most common
  3. Basalt – Common on Island 2
  4. Any spare Epic ores – Don’t waste Legendary ores here

Ores to AVOID Using:

  • Stolen Heart (extremely rare, save for other recipes)
  • Duranite (valuable, use elsewhere)
  • Heart of the Island (ultra-rare, needed for other content)
  • Evil Eye (rare drop, better uses exist)
  • Any 650+ mining power requirement ores

My Crafting Strategy: I stockpiled 250 Iron and Copper ores before attempting crafts. This gave me 10 craft attempts, and I got the Goblin’s Crown on my 9th try. Having a huge ore reserve prevents frustrating breaks to farm more materials.

Bulk Crafting Strategy

Don’t craft one at a time. Here’s why:

Psychological Benefits:

  • Reduces disappointment from failed attempts
  • Creates excitement when you finally succeed
  • Feels more efficient than single crafts

Practical Benefits:

  • Saves time by batch-crafting
  • Allows you to walk away if RNG is bad
  • Lets you sell unwanted helmets in bulk

My Recommended Approach:

  1. Farm 250-300 common ores
  2. Return to your Forge
  3. Craft 10 Heavy Helmets in one session
  4. Evaluate results
  5. Repeat if necessary

What to Do With Failed Crafts?

You’ll end up with several non-Goblin’s Crown helmets. Here’s what to do:

Option 1: Sell Them

  • Common helmets: 500-1,000 gold
  • Rare helmets: 2,000-5,000 gold
  • Epic helmets: 5,000-10,000 gold

Option 2: Keep for Alt Builds

  • Some helmets have niche uses
  • Raven Helmet is actually quite good
  • Store in case meta changes

Option 3: Trade to Friends

  • While the Goblin’s Crown itself is soulbound
  • Other craft results might be tradeable
  • Check each helmet’s trade status

Final Helmet Stats and Build Optimization

Once you successfully craft the Goblin’s Crown, here are the stats you can expect:

Goblin’s Crown Stats:

  • Max Health: +70% to +90% (varies by craft)
  • Movement Speed: -25% to -30%
  • Defense: +100-150 armor
  • Weight: Heavy class
  • Special Effect: Intimidation aura (cosmetic)

Best Build Pairings:

  1. Tank Build
    • Goblin’s Crown (helmet)
    • Heavy Armor chest piece
    • Heavy Leggings
    • Heavy Boots
    • Result: 5,000+ HP, nearly unkillable
  2. Boss Killer Build
    • Goblin’s Crown (helmet)
    • High defense chest
    • Movement speed legs (offset helmet penalty)
    • Attack speed boots
    • Result: Balanced survivability with damage
  3. PvP Tank Build
    • Goblin’s Crown (helmet)
    • Samurai Chestplate
    • Raven Leggings
    • Berserker Boots
    • Result: High defense, decent mobility

Enhancing and Upgrading

After crafting, you can further improve the Goblin’s Crown:

Enhancement Options:

  • Visit the Enhancer NPC
  • Use enhancement stones to boost stats
  • Each enhancement level increases base stats by 5-10%
  • Maximum enhancement level: +5

Rune Slotting:

  • The Goblin’s Crown has 2-3 rune slots
  • Best runes for tank builds:
    • Health regeneration
    • Damage reduction
    • Thorns (reflect damage)

Material Requirements for +5 Enhancement:

  • 50,000 gold
  • 10 Enhancement Stones
  • 5 Rare ores
  • Time at Enhancer NPC

Is the Goblin Crown Worth the Grind?

After investing 20+ hours into this questline, here’s my honest assessment.

Pros of the Goblin Crown

1. Unmatched Survivability The +70-90% health boost is massive. You can tank boss mechanics that would one-shot other players. In the Ice Golem fight, I went from dying in 3 hits to surviving 10+ hits.

2. Required for Progression Some endgame content and quests actually require high health pools. The Goblin’s Crown enables access to:

  • Dragon Head Pickaxe questline
  • Raven Cave advanced sections
  • Cult questline participation
  • Late-game boss encounters

3. Flexibility in Build Options The extra health lets you use more aggressive armor in other slots, creating unique build possibilities impossible with other helmets.

4. Long-term Investment Unlike consumables or temporary gear, the Goblin’s Crown remains relevant throughout endgame progression. It’s a permanent upgrade to your character.

Cons of the Goblin Crown

1. Massive Time Investment 20-30 hours of grinding is no joke. This is:

  • Gold farming: 8-10 hours
  • Ore farming: 10-15 hours
  • Crafting ore farming: 3-5 hours

2. Significant Gold Cost $550,000 is a massive investment. You could use that gold for:

  • Multiple other gear pieces
  • Pickaxe upgrades
  • Consumables
  • Other questlines

3. Movement Speed Penalty The -25% movement speed is genuinely frustrating for:

  • Mining (slower travel between ore spots)
  • PvP (harder to chase or escape)
  • General exploration
  • Event participation

4. RNG Crafting Frustration The random helmet crafting system is poorly designed. Spending 550K+ gold only to face RNG gambling for the actual helmet feels unrewarding.

5. Not Optimal for All Content In fast-paced content or situations requiring mobility, other helmets actually perform better:

  • Raven Helmet (balanced stats)
  • Speed-focused helmets for farming
  • Damage helmets for DPS builds

Who Should Get the Goblin Crown?

Perfect For:

  • Tank build enthusiasts
  • Endgame progression completionists
  • Boss farming specialists
  • Players with 20+ hours to invest
  • Groups needing dedicated tanks
  • PvP tank players

Skip If You:

  • Prefer fast, mobile gameplay
  • Focus on mining/resource gathering
  • Play solo mostly
  • Have limited play time
  • Need gold for other upgrades
  • Prefer DPS or speed builds

My Personal Verdict

The Goblin Crown is worth it if you plan to engage with endgame tank content. The health boost is genuinely game-changing for specific activities. However, it’s not essential for progression, and many players will find other helmets more enjoyable for their playstyle.

I use my Goblin’s Crown for:

  • Ice Golem Boss farming (massive survivability boost)
  • Tanking in group content
  • Exploring dangerous new areas

But I switch to Raven Helmet for:

  • Mining sessions (movement speed matters)
  • General farming
  • PvP where mobility is crucial

Advanced Strategies for Success

Mining Efficiency Tips

Upgrade Your Pickaxe First: Before starting the Goblin Lord quests, invest in the best pickaxe you can afford. The time saved mining rare ores will outweigh the initial cost.

Use Runes Effectively: Certain runes can significantly boost your mining power and ore-finding abilities. Focus on runes that enhance these specific attributes.

Luck Totems and Potions: These items can increase your chances of finding rare ores by up to 25%. Use them strategically during dedicated mining sessions.

Gold Farming Strategies

Complete Daily Quests: These provide consistent gold income that can fund your Goblin Crown questline.

Sell Forged Items: Instead of selling raw ores, craft them into weapons or armor first. Forged items typically sell for significantly more gold than the raw materials.

Focus on High-Value Areas: Certain areas in The Forge offer better gold-to-time ratios. Learn these locations and focus your farming efforts there.

Combat Preparation

Upgrade Your Armor: The journey to the Goblin Cave and the mining process can be dangerous. Ensure you have adequate armor protection.

Learn Combat Mechanics: Master dashing, blocking, and heavy attacks to handle enemies you’ll encounter in Frostspire Expanse.

Bring Healing Items: Always carry healing potions or food items during your expeditions to Island 3.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Preparation Errors

Starting Too Early: Don’t attempt this questline before Level 70 or without completing the Goblin King quests. You’ll waste time and resources.

Poor Gold Management: Don’t make multiple trips for gold. Accumulate the required amounts beforehand to save time.

Inadequate Pickaxe: Trying to mine rare ores with a weak pickaxe will result in frustration and wasted time.

Mining and Resource Mistakes

Ignoring Luck Boosts: Not using luck potions or totems when mining for rare ores is a common mistake that significantly extends the grind.

Selling Raw Ores: Raw ores sell for much less than forged items. Always craft before selling when possible.

Wrong Mining Locations: Each rare ore has specific locations where they’re more likely to spawn. Research these locations to maximize efficiency.

Quest Progression Errors

Missing the Goblin Cave Location: Many players get lost looking for the Goblin Cave. Remember: left from Spider Cave, climb the rock, look for guards.

Not Tracking Progress: Keep track of which quests you’ve completed and what materials you still need.

Rushing the Crafting: Don’t craft the Goblin Crown with low-quality materials just to have it quickly. Wait for the best materials available.

Platform-Specific Considerations

PC Players

Optimal Controls: Take advantage of keyboard shortcuts for efficient mining and combat:

  • Q to Dash
  • Shift to Sprint
  • CTRL for Shift-Lock
  • R or Right Click for Heavy Attack
  • F to Block
  • T to open Menu

Graphics Settings: Adjust your graphics settings to clearly spot rare ore nodes and important visual cues.

Mobile Players

Control Adaptation: Mobile controls require different strategies. Practice combat and mining movements before attempting the questline.

Battery Considerations: This is a long questline. Ensure your device is fully charged or plugged in.

Cross-Platform Tips

Server Selection: Choose less crowded servers for better mining opportunities and less competition for rare ores.

Time Management: The complete questline can take 10-20+ hours depending on your luck and preparation. Plan accordingly.

How do you unlock the Goblin Lord in The Forge?

You must first reach the Forgotten Kingdom using the Portal Tool, then complete all five Goblin King quests. This removes the Goblin from his Forgotten Kingdom location and causes him to reappear as the Goblin Lord in Frostspire Expanse. You also need to be level 70+ to access Frostspire Expanse where the Goblin Lord resides.

Can you get the Goblin Crown recipe without completing all Goblin Lord quests?

No, there’s no way to skip or shortcut the questline. The Goblin Crown recipe is only rewarded after completing all five sequential Goblin Lord tasks, including paying the $250,000 final quest and submitting 3 Iceite. The quests must be completed in order with no exceptions.

Is the Goblin Crown tradeable to other players?

No, the Goblin’s Crown is soulbound, meaning it’s permanently locked to your character. You cannot trade, sell, or give it to other players. Additionally, the recipe unlock is character-specific, so every player must complete the entire Goblin Lord questline themselves to obtain the crown.

How long does it take to get the Goblin Crown?

From start to finish, expect 20-30 hours of total playtime:

  • Goblin King prerequisite: 3-5 hours
  • Gold farming ($550,000): 8-10 hours
  • Ore farming (9 specific ores): 10-15 hours
  • Crafting material farming: 3-5 hours
  • RNG crafting attempts: 1-2 hours

This can be condensed with efficient grinding and good RNG, or extended significantly with bad luck on Snowite drops.
