Looking to dominate The Forge with the most powerful gear possible? You’ve come to the right place! As a seasoned Forger who’s spent countless hours mining every rock type and testing every trait combination, I’m excited to share the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to ore traits in The Forge. This isn’t just another list it’s your complete roadmap to crafting game changing weapons and armor that will make other players wonder how you got so powerful.
In The Forge, ores aren’t just about boosting your base stats they’re about transforming your gear with unique passive abilities that can completely change your playstyle. Whether you want to create a tanky fortress that laughs at damage, a glass cannon that melts bosses in seconds, or a speedy dodge-master that never gets hit, understanding ore traits is absolutely essential.
Here’s the definitive table of every ore with traits in The Forge, verified from the official wiki and cross-checked with the latest game data:
| Ore | Trait Effect | Best For | Rarity | Drop Chance | Multiplier | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poopite | 15% poison for 5s when below 35% HP | Emergency survival | Epic | 1/131 | 1.2x | $18 |
| Obsidian | 30% extra defense on Armor | Tank builds | Epic | 1/333 | 2.35x | $35.25 |
| Rivalite | +20% crit chance on Weapons | DPS builds | Epic | 1/569 | 3.33x | $49.95 |
| Uranium | 5% max HP AOE damage on Armor | Hybrid tank/DPS | Legendary | 1/777 | 3x | $66 |
| Mythril | 15% extra defense on Armor | Secondary tank option | Legendary | 1/813 | 3.5x | $52.5 |
| Eye Ore | -10% HP, +15% damage on Weapons/Armor | Glass cannon builds | Legendary | 1/1333 | 4x | $37.5 |
| Fireite | 20% burn chance on Weapons | DoT DPS builds | Legendary | 1/2187 | 4.5x | $67.5 |
| Magmaite | 50% weapon damage as AOE explosion (35% chance) on Weapons | Crowd control DPS | Legendary | 1/3003 | 5x | $75 |
| Lightite | 15% extra movement speed on Armor | Mobility builds | Legendary | 1/3333 | 4.6x | $69 |
| Demonite | 25% chance to burn enemy when damage is taken (Armor) | Offensive defense | Mythical | 1/3666 | 5.5x | $82.5 |
| Darkryte | 15% chance to dodge damage (Armor) | Endgame tanking | Mythical | 1/6655 | 6.3x | $94.5 |
Important: For any trait to activate, the ore with that trait must make up at least 10% of your total forging materials. I recommend using 20-30% for optimal trait effectiveness.
Understanding where to find each trait ore is crucial for efficient farming. Here’s the complete breakdown:
After testing every trait combination in various game scenarios, here’s my comprehensive tier list based on effectiveness, versatility, and late-game potential:
Darkryte – The ultimate defensive trait. A 15% chance to completely negate damage is insane, especially in late-game where single hits can delete you. When combined with high health pool, this trait makes you nearly invincible.
Demonite – The best offensive defensive trait. Not only does it give you a 25% chance to burn enemies when they hit you, but it also comes with a massive 5.5x multiplier. Perfect for players who want to deal damage while tanking.
Magmaite – The king of AOE damage. 50% of your weapon damage as an explosion with a 35% proc chance is absolutely massive. This trait alone can carry you through entire dungeons, especially when paired with fast-hitting weapons.
Eye Ore – The ultimate glass cannon trait. -10% HP might seem scary, but +15% damage on both weapons AND armor is too good to pass up. In skilled hands, this trait provides the highest DPS potential in the game.
Obsidian – The best pure defense trait. 30% extra defense is nothing to scoff at, and it’s relatively easy to obtain compared to other high-tier traits. Essential for any serious tank build.
Rivalite – The crit king. +20% crit chance is massive, especially when combined with crit damage runes and weapons. This trait scales incredibly well into late-game.
Uranium – A hybrid trait that deals AOE damage based on your max health. Great for tank builds that want some extra damage, but the 3x multiplier is underwhelming for a Legendary ore.
Mythril – A weaker version of Obsidian. 15% extra defense is still good, but you’re better off farming for Obsidian unless you specifically need the higher multiplier.
Fireite – A single-target burn trait. Good for sustained damage but outclassed by Magmaite in most situations. The 4.5x multiplier keeps it relevant though.
Poopite – An emergency trait that only activates below 35% HP. The poison damage and fear effect can save you in tight spots, but it’s too situational for regular use.
Lightite – 15% extra movement speed is nice, but it doesn’t contribute to combat effectiveness. Only useful for specific speed-running builds or players who struggle with positioning.
Here’s where most guides fall short—trait stacking. You can combine multiple traits in a single piece of gear, but you need to understand the mechanics:
This combination gives you incredible survivability with dodge chance, massive defense, and offensive capabilities through burn damage.
Maximum damage output with crits, AOE explosions, and burn damage. You’ll be squishy but nothing will survive your onslaught.
A versatile build that offers good damage, solid defense, some AOE damage, and improved mobility.
Heavy Armor Set:
Weapon Choice: Colossal Sword with 25 Darkryte, 25 Demonite, 20 Obsidian, 10 Mythril
Damage Armor Set:
Weapon Choice: Katana with 30 Magmaite, 25 Rivalite, 20 Eye Ore, 5 Fireite
Mobile Armor Set:
Weapon Choice: Straight Sword with 35 Lightite, 25 Eye Ore, 20 Rivalite, 5 Fireite
After helping hundreds of players optimize their builds, I’ve noticed these common mistakes:
Just because an ore has a great trait doesn’t mean it’s the best choice. Always consider the multiplier—sometimes a high-multiplier ore without a trait is better than a low-multiplier ore with a trait.
Many players think 10% is enough for traits, but I’ve tested extensively and found that 20-30% gives significantly better results. Don’t skimp on your trait ores!
Some traits work incredibly well together. For example, Demonite’s burn on hit combined with Magmaite’s AOE explosion creates a devastating combo that few enemies can survive.
Glass cannon builds are fun, but in late-game content, you’ll get destroyed without some defensive traits. Always include at least one defensive trait in your builds.
This is the most effective way to stack multiple traits:
Some traits are better for specific content:
Different weapons benefit from different traits:
Darkryte is the rarest trait ore with a drop chance of 1/6655 from Volcanic Rocks. This makes it incredibly difficult to obtain, but the 15% dodge chance trait is well worth the effort for end-game builds.
Magmaite is the best trait for pure damage builds. Its 50% weapon damage as AOE explosion with a 35% proc chance can clear entire rooms of enemies, especially when paired with fast-hitting weapons or high base damage weapons.
Yes! You can stack multiple traits by ensuring each traited ore makes up at least 10% of your forging materials. The optimal setup is 30%/30%/30%/10% for three traits, or 30%/30%/20%/20% for four traits.
Based on extensive testing, you need at least 10% of a traited ore in your recipe for the trait to activate. However, I strongly recommend using 20-30% for optimal trait effectiveness.
Some traits work on both, while others are specific to weapons or armor. Eye Ore is the most versatile, working on both weapons and armor. Always check the trait description to see where it can be applied.
The more of a traited ore you use, the stronger the trait effect becomes. For example, using 30% Obsidian gives you the full 30% defense bonus, while using only 10% might give you a smaller bonus.
As of the latest update, there are no hidden traits or secret ores beyond what’s listed in this guide. The developers have been transparent about all available traits, and the official wiki confirms this list is complete.
No, once you craft an item with traits, those traits are permanent. You’ll need to craft a new item if you want different traits. Choose your trait combinations carefully!
Yes, all traits work in PvP scenarios. This makes trait optimization crucial for competitive play. Defensive traits like Darkryte and Obsidian are particularly valuable in PvP.
For beginners, I recommend focusing on Obsidian for armor and Rivalite for weapons. These traits are relatively easy to obtain and provide straightforward benefits that help you learn the game mechanics.
