The Forge runes and traits guide
Making sure you’re getting the best out of your Roblox games can be a little tricky, so we’re here to offer you some guidance surrounding The Forge’s runes, which are items dropped from enemies that can help you upgrade your items. If you settle for less, you might end up struggling, so it’s worth taking a look in case you need to up your game a little.
Runes can also have secondary traits, which we cover in this guide. Taking full advantage of these will have you slaying with ease, but don’t fret if you don’t understand what to do with them, as we have you covered.
Here are all of the Forge Runes:
| Rune | Ability | How to obtain |
| Blast Chip | Explosion: creates an explosion at the enemy’s location, dealing a percentage of weapon damage as AOE | Defeat a bomber |
| Briar Notch | Thorns: reflects a percentage of physical damage taken, capped depending on your max HP | Defeat a deathaxe skeleton or elite deathaxe skeleton |
| Chill Dust | Snow: slows enemy attack speed and movement briefly | Not yet obtainable |
| Drain Edge | Heal: restores damage upon hit | Defeat a reaper |
| Flame Spark | Burn: deals a percentage of your weapon damage as fire briefly | Defeat a deathaxe skeleton, elite deathaxe skeleton, reaper, or blazing slime |
| Frost Speck | Ice: freezes enemies very briefly | Defeat a zombie |
| Miner Shard | Luck: grants extra luck Yield: increased chance of extra ore while mining Mine speed: boost mining speed Mine power: boosts pickaxe damage |
Defeat a delver zombie or bomber |
| Rage Mark | Berserk: activates at 35% HP or less, increases damage and movement speed | Defeat an elite rogue skeleton |
| Rot Stitch | Toxic veins: Deals poison damage while you are below 35% HP | Defeat a zombie |
| Ward Patch | Shield: reduces incoming damage per hit | Defeat a zombie, elite zombie, or brute zombie |
| Venom Crumb | Poison: deals a percentage of weapon damage as poison briefly | Defeat a zombie |
How do I get The Forge Rune slots?
In order to unlock Rune slots, you’ll need to enhance your items. How, you may ask? If you head to the NPC known as The Enhancer, who can be found in every single world, you’ll be given the option to enhance your weapons and armor. This will cost you essence and money, but you’ll find that the more powerful your combat items get, the more Rune slots begin opening up to you. Plus, your stats increase. What’s not to like?
Keep in mind that this method doesn’t work for The Forge’s pickaxes. The only way to increase the number of slots in a pickaxe is to buy a better one, unfortunately, so you’d best get saving up for that Arcane pickaxe, or make sure you’ve got The Forge’s codes on hand for free money.
The Forge Rune Traits
Some runes can have secondary traits that give them all kinds of other powers alongside their main one. Be careful, though, as some of the traits only work if the rune is in a weapon, and some only work if it’s in armor. Hopefully, knowing this can help optimize your rune distribution.
| Trait name | Trait ability | Equipment type |
| Attack speed | Increases attack speed | Weapon |
| Critical chance | Increases the chance to land a critical hit | Weapon |
| Critical damage | Increase the damage of critical hits | Weapon |
| Endurance | Increases stamina | Armor |
| Fracture | Increases stun damage | Weapon |
| Lethality | Increases weapon damage | Weapon |
| Phase | Increases dash invincibility duration | Armor |
| Surge | Reduces dash cooldown | Armor |
| Vitality | Increases HP | Armor |
That’s all you need to know about runes in The Forge. Thanks for stopping by, and good luck out there.
