  • The Forge Best Weapon & Armor Recipes (Roblox)

    Forging isn’t just about dumping as many ores as possible into the pool. Your output depends on two factors:

    Total Ores Added
    Higher total ore count unlocks access to better weapon and armor categories (Great Swords, Colossal Swords, Heavy Armor, etc.).

    Ore Quality & Type
    Better ores increase multipliers.
    Specific ores apply passive traits, which are often more valuable than raw stats.

    The strongest items in the game come from combining:

    • a high multiplier pool
    • plus specific passive ores
    • plus enough total ores to unlock a stronger item type

    This guide explains the optimal combinations for both weapons and armor, including which passive ores matter and how to use them efficiently.

    Passive Ores and What They Do

    Below are the most important ores that apply special traits when added to your forge pool. You only need one of these per recipe for the passive to apply.

    Key Passive Ores

    Poopite
    15% poison for 5s when under 35% HP
    (Drops from Pebble/Rock/Boulder in World 1)

    Obsidian
    +30% defense (Armor only)

    Rivalite
    +20% crit chance (Weapons only)

    Uranium
    +5% max HP AoE damage (Armor)
    +15% defense (Armor)

    Iceite (IO)
    -10% HP but +15% damage (Weapons & Armor)

    Fireite
    20% burn chance

    Magmite
    50% AoE explosion (35% chance)

    Demonite
    Burn + backfire passive

    Darkrite
    Shadow/Phantom Step passive

    These ores are rare, so they should be used sparingly. The optimal strategy is:

    Build your recipe using normal ores

    Add one passive ore at the end
    You still get the strong traits without wasting expensive materials.

    Best Armor Recipes (Heavy Helmet / Heavy Legs / Heavy Chestplate)

    These armor builds focus on maximizing survivability, defense scaling, and passive utility.

    Core Armor Recipe (Use These Three Every Time)

    Iceite (IO)
    +15% damage (offset by Mithril)
    Adds offensive pressure to your armor

    Uranium
    +5% AoE damage based on HP
    +15% bonus defense
    Strong defensive + AoE hybrid bonus

    Mithril
    Cancels Iceite’s HP penalty and adds vitality
    Balances the recipe so you keep your HP intact

    Final Step

    Add whichever common ore you need to:

    • reach the total ore requirement
    • raise the multiplier
    • secure the armor type you want (heavy chest, legs, helmet)

    Why This Recipe Works

    Iceite + Mithril gives free damage scaling with almost no drawback.
    Uranium adds one of the best defensive passives in the game.
    The final ore batch ensures you still get high-rarity armor pieces.

    This build creates:

    • High-defense heavy armor
    • Vitality stability
    • Bonus AoE pressure for crowd control
    • Reliable passives without sacrificing multiplier

    Best Weapon Recipes (Great Sword / Colossal Sword / Great Axe)

    These recipes focus on maximizing burst damage, crit chance, and AoE potential.

    Core Weapon Recipe (Use These Four Ores)

    Iceite (IO)
    +15% damage
    Core offensive ingredient

    Fireite
    20% burn chance on hit
    Burn stacks are extremely efficient for DPS

    Rivalite
    +20% crit chance
    Huge synergy with Colossal and Great Swords

    Magmite
    50% AoE explosion (35% on-hit chance)
    This is one of the strongest passives in the entire crafting system

    Final Step

    Add high-rarity ores to:

    • boost multiplier
    • increase the chance of a Colossal Sword, Great Sword, or Great Axe
    • stack total ore count for higher-tier results

    Why This Recipe Works

    You’re stacking:

    • Crit damage (Rivalite)
    • Burn damage (Fireite)
    • AoE explosion (Magmite)
    • Raw multiplier scaling (Iceite + normal ores)

    This combination turns even mid-tier weapons into extremely reliable crowd-control machines. On a Great Sword or Colossal Sword, the synergy becomes devastating.

    General Tips for Forging Efficiently

    1. Always Build the Base Pool First

    Do this:

    • Add your common ores
    • Raise multiplier
    • Raise total count
    • Unlock the weapon/armor type

    Then:

    • Add your one passive ore last

    This ensures you don’t waste rare materials.

    2. Passives Apply Even If You Add Only One

    There is roughly a 10% chance to successfully place a passive onto your finished item.
    That’s why you should never waste multiple rare ores in one forge attempt.
    Use one per craft.

    3. Completing the Minigame Perfectly Increases Quality

    Better minigame performance = better outcome and higher stats.
    If you’re going for expensive passives, make sure you’re hitting perfects.

    4. Enhance Your Items After Crafting

    Use essence at the Enhancer to increase:

    • Weapon damage
    • Armor defense
    • Overall stat value

    Enhancing is where your crafted items truly reach their potential.

    Recommended Ores for High-End Crafting

    Weapons

    • Iceite
    • Rivalite
    • Fireite
    • Magmite
    • High-tier mythicals
    • Any rare ore with strong multipliers

    Armor

    • Mithril
    • Obsidian
    • Uranium
    • Iceite
    • Light
    • High-tier mythicals

    These choices guarantee reliable access to:

    • high-tier armor
    • devastating crit weapons
    • rare passives
    • consistent multiplier scaling
  • Path to Power New Forms Guide – (Saiyans, Namekians)

    This update introduces a full lineup of new transformations across every major race, each bringing fresh stat multipliers, unique visuals, and powerful traits that meaningfully change how the race performs in combat. This guide walks through every form shown in the update, how to unlock it, what its stats mean in practice, and why certain forms stand out more than others.

    Super Saiyan Blue Evolution (Saiyans)

    Requirements

    • Level 800
    • Rebirth 3
    • Complete Goku’s Champion Challenge on Earth

    Form Overview

    Blue Evolution amplifies both key and physical capabilities with a +100% damage multiplier, heavy agility gains, and excellent burst potential. The agility scaling is especially noticeable; once fully invested, your mobility becomes absurdly fast.

    Trait

    • Damage increases the lower your HP becomes
      This acts like a soft version of a Zenkai boost, rewarding risky, aggressive playstyles.

    General Verdict

    Blue Evolution is the strongest “standard” Saiyan upgrade so far, balanced between Ki and Physical builds with strong stat potential and explosive damage spikes at low HP.

    Legendary Super Saiyan (Saiyans)

    How to Unlock

    • Defeat Mackie in Otherworld

    Stats

    • +125% Physical Damage
    • +125% Ki Damage

    Form Overview

    This form leans into raw destructive power. Visually striking and statistically extreme, Legendary Super Saiyan outclasses Blue Evolution in brute damage but lacks some agility bonuses. It is perfect for players who rely on heavy-hitting builds and prefer explosive offensive play.

    General Verdict

    If you’re playing a Saiyan focused on burst kills and overwhelming force, this is arguably the strongest pick.

    Armored Namekian (Namekians)

    Requirements

    1. Complete Whis Trial
    2. Unlock Namekian God Form
    3. Level 800
    4. Rebirth 2

    Stats

    • +100% Damage Multiplier (Ki and Physical)

    Form Overview

    This form is visually one of the most detailed in the entire update and gives Namekians their most intimidating transformation yet. It’s a direct upgrade over traditional Namekian forms and offers strong defensive aesthetics paired with reliable offensive boosts.

    Trait

    • Reflects 5% of the damage dealt back at the opponent
      The reflection mechanic fits the armor theme perfectly and gives Namekians a consistent advantage in longer fights.

    General Verdict

    A clean, polished form that finally gives Namekians an identity rooted in durability and counterpressure.

    Archangel / Arc Demon (Earthlings)

    Earthlings get two potential transformations depending on the path chosen during Rebirth 1:

    • Holy Human → Archangel
    • Cursed Human → Arc Demon

    Archangel (Holy Human)

    Stats

    • +95% Damage Multiplier (Physical and Ki)
    • More realistically around 115–120% if not wearing weighted gear

    Trait

    • Converts 25% of damage dealt into Ki
      This gives Earthlings infinite sustain in prolonged battles.

    Visual Style

    Bright, divine, glowing effects with a clean aura.


    Arc Demon (Cursed Human)

    Stats

    • +110% Damage Multiplier

    Trait

    • Converts 10% of damage dealt into HP
      This makes Arc Demon a survival powerhouse with constant self-healing during offense.

    Visual Style

    Dark, menacing, heavily detailed demonic appearance.


    General Verdict

    Earthlings gained some of the most practical traits in the entire update.
    Archangel = Endless Ki
    Arc Demon = Self-healing bruiser

    Both forms are extremely useful depending on your preferred combat flow.

    Metal Golden Form (Frost Demons)

    Stats

    • +600 Ki Pool
    • +500 Agility
    • +80% Physical Damage
    • +110% Ki Damage

    Form Overview

    This form might be the biggest surprise of the update. Visually intense and stat-heavy, Metal Golden provides monstrous Ki scaling and enormous agility boosts, which combined create a deadly hybrid form suitable for both close combat and ranged spam.

    General Verdict

    One of the strongest forms added. The numbers alone put Frost Demons into a higher tier of offensive versatility.


    Xenomin (Majins)

    Stats

    • 75% Damage Resistance
    • +120% Damage Multiplier
    • +500 Speed
    • +450 Ki

    Form Overview

    Majins receive a form that looks chaotic, intimidating, and extremely powerful in close-range combat. It’s durable, fast, and hits like a truck. The resistance value alone makes this one of the tankiest forms in the update.

    General Verdict

    If you want a form that can trade hits while dealing massive damage, Xenomin is absolutely worth the investment.

    Ultimate Android (Androids)

    Stats

    • 60% Damage Resistance
    • +150 Damage Multiplier
    • +500 Speed

    Trait

    • While charging, all Ki attacks are absorbed and converted into HP
    • Custom Aura Color available with the Gamepass

    Form Overview

    Visually it’s one of the simpler forms, but its trait is unbelievably strong. Any fight against Ki-based opponents becomes trivial when you can absorb projectiles and turn them into healing.

    General Verdict

    Underwhelming visually, extremely powerful mechanically. With Ki absorption, Androids become one of the strongest defensive counter-class options in the game.

  • THE FORGE BEST MONEY METHODS GUIDE

    Making money in The Forge becomes easier once you understand which mechanics scale the fastest. While many players rely on raw mining or random drops, the strongest strategies come from pairing the right race, the right gear, and the right activity. This guide breaks down the three core methods shown in the video, explaining how each one works, what it requires, and when you should use it for maximum profit.

    1. Method One – Supreme Essence Farming (Demon Race Only)

    This method revolves around combat, speed, and efficient movement. It is the most explosive money maker if you have the right setup, but it becomes nearly impossible without it.

    What You Need

    • Demon race – The Flash Step ability is the core of the strategy
    • A fast, high-damage weapon (enhanced + with runes)
    • Ability to block properly
    • Basic comfort fighting enemies in the lava caves

    Demon’s Flash Step gives short bursts of movement with invulnerability frames. When used properly, it lets you reposition, dodge hits, and chain kills without stopping.

    How It Works

    Your target is Supreme Essence, which drops from strong enemies inside the deeper cave routes. Even after the nerf, essence farming is still profitable because:

    • Essence stacks quickly
    • Enemy density is high
    • Strong weapons let you one-tap or two-tap mobs
    • You gain XP, money, and achievement progress simultaneously

    Forty minutes to an hour of consistent farming yields hundreds of essences, which can still sell for 30,000+ with a good run.

    How to Execute the Farm

    1. Enter the cave with Demon equipped.
    2. Move aggressively using Flash Step to reposition around enemies.
    3. Time your blocks to reduce incoming damage.
    4. Focus primarily on:
      • Reapers (highest value)
      • Lava Mobs
    5. Maintain a kill chain, sweeping the loop repeatedly.
    6. Sell essence in bulk for a large one-time payout.

    When to Use This Method

    • You enjoy combat over mining
    • You already have a powerful weapon
    • You have Demon race unlocked
    • You want XP + money + shards at the same time

    If you’re missing any of these pieces, switch to Method Two instead.

    2. Method Two – High-Speed Mining with Dwarf (Best Overall Method)

    This is the strongest money method for every player, even mid-game players who can’t handle the lava enemies consistently. Dwarf’s bonuses multiply your entire economic output.

    Why This Method Is So Good

    Dwarf gives:

    • 15% mining damage
    • 20% chance to deal 50% extra rock damage
    • Critical mining
    • 5% forge quality bonus

    When paired with a strong pickaxe and rune upgrades, these bonuses dramatically shorten the time needed to break high-tier nodes. Faster node breaks = more ores per minute.

    The Setup

    • Use Dwarf race
    • Bring a solid pickaxe (Arcane, Magma, or anything runed)
    • Buy mining potions:
      • Damage Potion
      • Luck Potion
      • Speed Potion
    • Travel directly to the lava zone via cannon
    • Mine nonstop for 10 minutes

    Once potions are active, your mining speed jumps higher than normal, and you start pulling in large stacks of volcanic ores, obsidian, diamonds, and the occasional legendary.

    What Makes This Method Special

    You have two paths after collecting the ores:

    Path A – Sell Ores Raw

    Simple but weaker.

    Example income: 2,000–3,000 from a typical stash (more with luck).

    Use this if:

    • You’re brand-new
    • You don’t want to forge yet
    • Your inventory is small

    Path B – Forge “Trash Ores” Into High-Value Armor

    This is the true power of Dwarf.

    1. Go to the Island 2 forge
    2. Put ALL low-tier ores (volcanic stone, obsidian, rivalry ore, common gems)
    3. Switch to Armor tab
    4. Forge anything you can—leggings, helmets, chestplates
    5. Sell the finished armor pieces for 2,000–2,500+, often more
    6. Repeat with the rest of your stash

    The reason this works is:

    • Low-value ores become high-value masterwork items
    • Dwarf’s 5% forge bonus boosts quality consistently
    • You’re turning junk materials into premium gear

    Even a bad run produces more money forging than selling raw ore.

    Expected Profit

    With average luck:

    • 4,000–8,000 per 10-minute mining segment
      With good luck (legendaries, consistent forging quality):
    • 10,000+ in under ten minutes

    This makes Dwarf mining the most reliable, repeatable income source in the entire early and mid-game.

    3. Method Three – Pure Mining for Comfort (Slower but Simple)

    This is how the creator personally made most of their money:

    • Mine
    • Sell
    • Repeat

    It’s slower than Dwarf mining + forging, and slower than Demon farming, but it’s accessible for every player regardless of race. It’s also relaxing, consistent, and good for people who prefer low-risk gameplay.

    Use this method if you:

    • Don’t want to fight
    • Don’t want to micromanage forging
    • Aren’t ready to min-max yet
    • Are still building your pickaxe and rune setup

    Pure mining is the fallback option for absolute beginners or players without the correct race for the first two methods.

    Which Method Should You Choose?

    Method Best For Requirements Income
    Supreme Essence Farming (Demon) Combat-focused players Demon race + strong weapon + blocking skills High (nerfed but still strong)
    Dwarf Power Mining + Forging Almost everyone Dwarf race + pickaxe + potions Very High (best overall)
    Simple Mining Casual / beginners None Medium

    If you want the fastest and most stable money, choose Dwarf mining + forging.
    If you enjoy combat and already have Demon, use essence farming.

    These money methods aren’t meant for players who just hit level 10. Build your pickaxe, unlock runes, get a decent weapon, and grow your stats first. Once your basic setup is stable, these strategies become incredibly effective and will carry you into late-game gear, runes, and pickaxe upgrades without any struggle.

  • THE FORGE BEGINNER GUIDE (New & Mid-Game Players)

    The Forge drops you into a world that looks simple on the surface—grab a pickaxe, head into the caves, and start mining—but anyone who spends more than a few minutes inside quickly realizes there’s a lot more depth hiding underneath. Between races, quests, forging systems, island progression, and resource management, new players often waste hours taking the slow route without even realizing it.

    This guide cuts through all that confusion. It’s built for players who want a clear, efficient starting path that explains not just what to do, but why each step matters. You’ll understand how to build early momentum, which systems to ignore until later, how to grow your mining power quickly, and how to reach Island 2—the point where real progression begins—without hitting the common early-game walls that frustrate most beginners.

    1. Start the Game the Right Way

    Your first objective is simple: finish the tutorial.
    That early NPC not only introduces the core systems but also walks you through the first forging mini-game, mining basics, and general navigation. Completing the tutorial ensures you aren’t guessing how anything works.

    Once you see the tick above his head, you’re officially released into the real early-game loop.

    2. Claim All Available Codes Immediately

    These codes give potions and boosts that drastically speed up early progression.
    Open Settings → Codes, enter the current active codes, and redeem everything.

    The potions you receive will fuel faster mining, quicker leveling, and smoother forging. New players who skip codes fall behind immediately, so treat this step as mandatory.

    3. Choose a Strong Race Early

    Press T or open your Backpack → Shop → Races.

    Every race provides unique stat bonuses. Early-game power comes mostly from these stats, so your race choice matters more than gear at this stage.

    Recommended Races

    • Dwarf – Best consistent mining buffs, easiest “good race” to roll.
    • Angel / Demon – Rare but extremely strong hybrid stat sets.
    • Any Non-Human Race – Most are workable, as long as you avoid Human.

    Races to Avoid

    • Human – Poor stat scaling, no benefits worth keeping.

    If you don’t get a strong race within a few rolls, use whatever you have for now; just plan to reroll later in mid-game.

    4. Prioritize Quests – But Choose the Right Ones

    Inside the first cave, you’ll find two quest NPCs.

    Skip Early

    • Zombie Slayer Quest (Something the Brave)
      Your early weapon is too weak, turning this into wasted time and missed rewards.

    Do Immediately

    • Nord’s Mining Quest
      He asks for stone and basic ores—perfect for beginners.
      You’ll earn reliable early money with no combat required.

    This cash directly fuels your first major goal.

    5. Your First Real Objective: Make Money Fast

    Everything early—better pickaxes, forging attempts, travel—is limited by your wallet. To progress correctly:

    Focus ONLY on:

    • Mining
    • Selling ores
    • Completing Nord’s quests

    Do NOT Focus on Yet:

    • Armor
    • Weapons
    • Enhancing
    • Rune crafting

    Those systems become meaningful only once you can produce good materials consistently.

    Money is the foundation of everything else, so treat it as your single priority.

    6. Upgrade Your Pickaxe (The Real Early-Game Power Spike)

    You start with the Iron Pickaxe, but your advancement depends entirely on reaching higher mining tiers.

    Recommended Path

    • Iron → Gold
      Gold is the first major upgrade and noticeably improves your mining pace.
    • Skip Platinum
      Platinum barely outperforms Gold and isn’t worth its price.

    Read each pickaxe’s stats carefully—many include special abilities that change how they play.

    7. Reach Level 10 and Unlock the Portal

    Your next major milestone is Level 10, since this unlocks:

    • The Portal
    • Access to Island 2, the true start of progression

    Finish the quest tied to the portal NPC and place the portal anywhere on Island 1. Enter it, and you’re off to the next stage.

    After this point, you no longer return to Island 1 except for minor activities. Island 2 offers clearer progress, better ores, and dramatically more profitable mines.

    8. Island 2: Your First Real Test

    Island 2 is significantly harder.
    Enemies hit harder, ores require stronger pickaxes, and progression slows down. But the payoff is massive.

    Your First Purchase Here

    • Cobalt Pickaxe (10,000 coins)
      Provides 40 mining power—far better than anything from Island 1.

    This one item accelerates your entire economy.

    9. AFK Mining Spots for Easy Progress

    Inside Island 2’s cave, you’ll begin with basalt rocks.
    As your pickaxe improves, push deeper into the cave until you reach areas where:

    • Enemies are manageable
    • Ores spawn densely
    • You can mine two rocks at once by standing between them

    These dual-node mining positions are the most efficient AFK spots in early/mid-game.

    10. Begin Forging Properly (Only on Island 2)

    Forging turns ores into weapons, but the real reason to forge on Island 2 is material capacity.

    Island 1:

    Only 5 materials allowed → limited weapon types

    Island 2:

    Higher material limit → more weapon categories unlocked → higher multiplier potential

    How Materials Affect Weapons

    • Common ores → low multiplier
    • Rare ores → huge multiplier increase
    • Epic ores → massive boost and unlock advanced weapons
    • The deeper the cave, the rarer the ore

    The forging mini-game is simple once you know the timing, but your success mostly depends on using high-quality materials.

    11. Sell Your Ores the Smart Way

    Greedy K is your main sales NPC.

    He doesn’t pay premium prices, but:

    • Selling ores gives steady cash
    • Selling ores also rewards XP

    This XP helps you clear early levels quickly, especially when paired with the index rewards.

    12. If You Spend Robux, Buy Only These

    The game is friendly to free players, but if you plan to spend:

    Worth It

    • Double Storage – Huge quality-of-life upgrade
    • Sell Anywhere – Extremely useful for deep mining

    Situational

    • Fast Forge / Forge Anywhere – Only good if you hate the mini-game

    Avoid

    • Race rerolls
    • Coins
    • Totems (wait for codes—far more efficient)

    13. Use Your Achievement Skill Slot

    Open Menu → Achievements and equip a passive skill.

    Best Early Choices

    • Mining Master – Speeds up your economy enormously
    • Experience Master – Only valuable below Level 10

    After Level 10, shift to Monster Slayer once you begin crafting proper weapons.

    14. Claim Your Index Rewards

    Your index tracks every ore you mine.
    Each filled slot awards a massive XP injection.

    Most players ignore this tab and level far slower as a result.

    Make it a habit:

    • Mine a new ore
    • Open Index
    • Claim rewards immediately

    15. Sell Your Old Gear

    Visit the equipment vendor and unload outdated:

    • Pickaxes
    • Weapons
    • Armor

    The money is small, but it adds up during mid-game.

    16. Quick Tip: Use the Cannon

    Instead of running all the way to the cave entrance on either island, use the cannon for instant travel. It saves time during every farming trip.

  • Rogue Piece Deku (OFA) & Shigaraki Update GUIDE

    A complete gameplay-focused breakdown covering: how to unlock both powers, what each move does, how strong they actually are, and how to build around them after the rework to Jungle Island and the new enchant system.

    This update adds several new systems and two major powers based on My Hero Academia:

    • Two new powers:
      • One For All (Deku)
      • All For One / Decay (Shigaraki)
    • New accessories
    • New title
    • Jungle Island rework
    • Accessory enchant system
    • SID removed from game (unobtainable now)
    • Multiple bug fixes post-launch

    If you’re returning after previous patches, expect a noticeably smoother experience—the initial bugs during release have been patched.

    How to Unlock Shigaraki (Decay / AFO)

    Shigaraki is craft-based, not quest-based.

    Requirements (Craft at NPC)

    To unlock Shigaraki, you need:

    • All For One Cells
    • 5 Darkness Fragments
    • 25 Soul Shards

    All of these drop from the Shigaraki boss.

    Spawning Shigaraki

    You must craft the Darkness Spirit at the Craft NPC.
    This item unlocks the Shigaraki fight.

    Shigaraki Boss Details

    • 3,000,000 HP
    • Hits extremely hard for early players
    • Intended for group farming
    • Drops:
      • Required crafting items
      • Several accessories
      • Shigaraki title (20% damage buff)

    If you are struggling, run a cooldown-focused build or bring 2–3 players.

    How to Unlock Deku / One For All

    Deku has two stages:

    1. Base One For All
    2. Complete One For All

    Step 1 — Unlock Base One For All

    Talk to All Might in Rogue Town and complete his two mini-quests.
    Once you finish them, you unlock base OFA.

    Base OFA is extremely weak, so don’t stop here.

    Step 2 — Unlock Complete One For All

    Now talk to Deku, also in Rogue Town.
    He will give additional quests which fully unlock the true Deku skillset.

    This questline is longer and more tedious than Shigaraki’s path, but necessary if you want all moves.

    Deku Boss & Farming Notes

    You cannot “farm Deku” directly—this power is entirely quest driven.

    Shigaraki – Showcase & Power Breakdown

    Shigaraki comes with:

    • A legendary-rarity moveset
    • Decay-themed AoE effects
    • A 20% damage title (very useful across all builds)

    Strengths

    • Good AoE for new players
    • Straightforward combos
    • Scales respectably with pure damage builds
    • Title is a strong boost for any power set

    Weaknesses

    • Damage falls behind the higher-tier metas
    • Slow compared to modern movement-focused skillsets
    • Poor mobility during long cooldowns

    Performance Summary

    Good for:

    • New players
    • Farming mobs
    • Players who want a simple damage kit

    Falls off compared to:

    • Sid
    • Kizaru
    • Guts
    • Shinra
    • Gear 5
    • Gravity
    • Endgame mythical kits

    If you want a starter legendary, Shigaraki works. If you want a top meta DPS, he is not it.

    Deku – Showcase & Power Breakdown

    Deku’s kit includes:

    • A stat-boosting mode (V)
    • Movement + power combos
    • Detroit Smash (Z)
    • Additional punches and OFA shockwaves
    • Special move unlocked only in mode (F)

    Strengths

    • Fun animations
    • Responsive movement
    • Two Detroit Smashes can be used within a single cooldown cycle using:
      • 20% cooldown traits
      • Time Sharpness relic
      • Cooldown build

    Weaknesses

    • Surprisingly low damage
    • Long quest line despite mediocre power
    • No title
    • Not competitive compared to top-rarity abilities
    • Overall output feels “muted” despite visuals

    Performance Summary

    Deku is currently not worth the grind unless:

    • You want the effects
    • You’re a My Hero fan
    • You want mobility over raw damage

    Expect him to be buffed soon—the community widely agrees his numbers are too low.

    Best Builds for Each Power

    Shigaraki Damage Build

    Focus: maximize his decay ticks + flat damage.

    Recommended:

    • Full damage traits
    • 20% damage title
    • Accessories with:
      • Damage %
      • Cooldown reduction
      • Special move power
    • Enchant priorities:
      • Damage → Crit → Cooldown

    This build makes his weaker scaling more tolerable and improves AoE consistency.

    Deku Cooldown Combo Build

    Focus: double Detroit Smash + mode uptime.

    Recommended:

    • 20% cooldown trait
    • Time Sharpness relic
    • Accessories with:
      • Cooldown reduction
      • Special damage boost
    • Keep mode active for:
      • Increased power
      • Access to F move

    This is Deku’s only way to feel fluid enough for midgame.

    Is Shigaraki or Deku Better?

    Power Strength Weakness Best For
    Shigaraki Strong title, solid AoE, great starter legendary Not meta, mid scaling New players, grinders
    Deku Good mobility, fun animations Extremely low damage, needs buffs MHA fans, cooldown-based builds

    Winner: Shigaraki
    Even though his numbers are not top-tier, Shigaraki is still more reliable and more consistent than Deku.


    Extra Tips

    For Fast Shigaraki Farming:

    • Bring 3+ players
    • Use cooldown builds
    • Keep dash movement active to avoid wipe combos
    • Use relics or traits that boost survivability if soloing

    For Deku’s Quest Line:

    • Complete All Might’s quests immediately
    • Keep movement relics
    • Save a cooldown accessory for Detroit Smash spam

    This update adds fun content but both mythics fall short of top-tier expectations. Shigaraki is a solid legendary alternative. Deku is visually amazing but underpowered at release and almost certainly getting buffs.

  • Bloodlines Lee Taijutsu Progression & Gates Guide

    If you’re playing Lee in Bloodlines (or just want to punch people really hard), your entire build revolves around Taijutsu and unlocking the Gates. This guide walks you through:

    • How to unlock the Taijutsu skill path
    • How to get Green Gates (available to any Tai build)
    • How to unlock Blue Gates (Lee-exclusive mode)
    • How Red Gates works and whether it’s actually worth going for

    I’ll go step by step, so you can follow this as your full Lee progression plan.

    Unlocking the Taijutsu Skill Path

    Your first goal is simple: unlock the Taijutsu skill tree via the move Weighted Kick.

    Requirements for Weighted Kick

    You need:

    • 1× Combat Scroll
    • 1× Chakra Shard
    • Some ryo

    You unlock the actual skill by sitting on a chakra point once you have those items.


    How to Get the Combat Scroll (and Your First Chakra Fragment)

    1. Go to Training Grounds.
    2. Hit one of the training logs until an NPC spawns.
    3. Kill that NPC and pick up the green broken armor piece it drops – do not ignore this, it’s key.
    4. Follow the path nearby to find the Combat Instructor.
    5. Talk to him and start his quest. He’ll talk about hitting the log 1000 times – ignore that.
    6. Just hand him the green broken armor piece.

    Reward:

    • 1× Combat Scroll
    • 1× Chakra Fragment

    Perfect start.

    How to Get a Chakra Shard

    Next, you need to break a chakra point:

    1. Make sure you have:
      • 1× Chakra Fragment (from the instructor quest)
      • 100 ryo
    2. Sit on a chakra point and choose Destroy.
    3. This converts your fragment into a Chakra Shard.

    Now you have:

    • Combat Scroll
    • Chakra Shard
    • Some ryo

    Sit on another chakra point and use these to unlock Weighted Kick. This opens the Taijutsu skill path.

    Pushing Down the Taijutsu Path (Core Skills to Grab)

    To reach Green Gates, you need to invest heavily into Taijutsu. You’ll be spending:

    • Chakra Fragments
    • Ryo
    • Acumen (combat experience)
    • A few special items

    Taijutsu Combat & Redsmith’s Mold

    To unlock Taijutsu Combat, you need:

    • Enough acumen (earned by defeating NPCs)
    • Redsmith’s Mold

    How to Get Redsmith’s Mold (Barbarian Boss)

    1. Head to your village mission board and grab the Barbarian mission, or go straight to Windy Plains 1.
    2. Look near the Catacombs and you’ll find the Barbarian, sleeping.
    3. Fight tips:
      • His jump attack: be mid-air when he lands to avoid damage.
      • His punches: perfect block by guarding right as he pulls his arm back.
      • After three perfect blocks, he’s stunned – dump your combos here.
    4. Knock him, then press B to grip.
    5. Loot the Redsmith’s Mold.

    Use this to unlock further Taijutsu skills.

    Get Both Improved Whirlwind & Improved Barrage

    You don’t have to choose between them – get both:

    • Improved Whirlwind – amazing for spacing and pushing enemies off you.
    • Improved Barrage – great for poke and chip damage.

    Both are extremely useful later against bosses like Tairock and for your Lee quests.

    Chakra Punch (Highly Recommended)

    Not strictly required for Gates, but very strong utility.

    • Buy a Chakra Bone for 15 ryo from The Cunning Collector at Biyo Bay.
    • Use it to unlock Chakra Punch in the Taijutsu tree.

    It’s extra damage and utility that fits perfectly into your kit.

    Unlocking Green Gates (Any Taijutsu Build)

    Green Gates is the first Taijutsu awakening and can be used by any Taijutsu user, not just Lee.

    To unlock it, you’ll need:

    • Progressed Taijutsu tree
    • Ryo
    • Chakra Fragments
    • Fighter’s Wraps (the rare part)

    Getting Fighter’s Wraps – Tairock Boss

    This is the tricky part.

    Step 1: Buy the Stone Key

    1. Go to Biyo Bay.
    2. Find the Prisoner NPC.
    3. Talk to him (first dialogue option).
    4. Buy the stone for 35 ryo – this is your key.

    Step 2: Open the Tairock Gate

    1. Go to Rosemary Pit.
    2. Near the chakra point, you’ll see a closed gate.
    3. Use the stone to open it and enter Tairock’s boss room.

    Step 3: Fighting Tairock

    Tairock now has constant hyper armor, so trading M1s is a bad idea.

    Basic gameplan:

    • Use Dynamic Entry to poke in and out.
    • Use Improved Whirlwind (M2) when he gets close to push him away.
    • Use your barrage moves when it’s safe to chip him.
    • If your substitution is on cooldown, play safer. Don’t let him catch you in full M1 strings.

    Once he’s down:

    • Press B to grip him.
    • Hope for Fighter’s Wraps to drop.

    They’re a rare drop – expect to kill Tairock multiple times before you get them.

    Unlocking Green Gates

    Once you have:

    • Enough ryo
    • Enough chakra fragments
    • Fighter’s Wraps

    You can unlock Green Gates at a chakra point via the Taijutsu tree.

    What Green Gates Does

    Green Gates gives you:

    • Big speed and damage buffs
    • Two key moves:
      • M2 – Primary Lotus: Close-range multi-hit that deals huge damage if it lands.
      • M1 Skill – Flicker Teleport: Teleports you behind your target, great for catching players off-guard or setting up Lotus.

    Note:

    • Any Taijutsu user can use Green Gates.
    • Non-Lee users take a small amount of damage when the mode timer runs out.

    Blue Gates – Lee Clan Exclusive Mode

    Blue Gates is the true Lee clan awakening. Stronger speed, better damage, and extra moves on top of Green Gates.

    You unlock it by starting a quest with Tairock – the same boss from the wraps.

    Starting the Blue Gates Quest

    • Talk to Tairock while he is not in combat.
    • Press E to talk.
    • If you don’t meet requirements yet, he’ll tell you what you’re missing.

    There are three hidden requirements:

    1. M1 Hits (Your fists are weak)
    2. Blocks (Your defense is weak)
    3. Green Gates Activations (You’ve yet to grasp the basics of your inner gates)

    You can complete them in any order.

    Requirement 1 – 2500 M1s (“Your fists are weak”)

    • You need around 2500 M1 hits on NPCs or players.
    • Requirements rules:
      • Hitting environment objects does not count.
      • Hitting block doesn’t count.
      • Hitting multiple targets at once still only counts as 1 per swing.

    Best methods:

    • Fight high HP bosses (like Tairock) for lots of hits in one fight.
    • Or farm sturdy NPCs one by one.

    Requirement 2 – 500 Blocks (“Your defense is weak”)

    • You need 500 blocks
    • Important:
      • Only blocking player M1s counts now
      • Blocking jutsu like Water Pool doesn’t count
      • Blocking NPC attacks also does not count

    Best method:

    • Ask a friend to help you.
    • Let them spam M1s into your block.
    • You can finish this in under 10 minutes with cooperation.

    Requirement 3 – ~50 Green Gates Activations

    • You need roughly 50 Green Gates activations.
    • This isn’t tracked in your Progression Soul, so just spam it while you play.

    Fast way to do it:

    • Activate Green Gates
    • Let the mode run out or jump off the map out of combat
    • Change servers / rejoin to reset cooldown and repeat

    By the time you’re done farming M1s and blocks, you should easily hit this number if you keep using the mode.

    The Blue Gates Trial – Weighted Run & Fight

    Once you meet all conditions, Tairock gives you a trial:

    • You carry heavy weights from point A to point B.
    • You cannot cast non-Tai skills.
    • Movement is slowed.
    • There’s a time limit.

    Key tips:

    • Spam Green Gates for extra speed as often as you can.
    • Use Dynamic Entry and Flicker Step (if you have it) to cover distance faster.
    • Avoid dangerous areas where NPCs will jump you mid-run.
    • Try not to get stuck fighting mobs; you’re on a timer.
    • It’s much safer with friends watching your back so random players don’t grief you.

    Near the end:

    • You’ll reach an area where you must fight three NPCs while still under weight restrictions.
    • Strategy is similar to Tairock:
      • Use Dynamic Entry, Lion’s Barrage, and Whirlwind M2 to chip them.
      • Keep spacing and avoid getting stuck trading M1s.
      • If you’re running out of time, you may need to M1 more aggressively.

    Defeat them, then talk to Tairock to finish the quest.

    Reward:

    • Lee Affinity item → spend it to unlock Blue Gates.

    What Blue Gates Gives You

    Blue Gates is a straight upgrade over Green:

    • Even higher movement speed
    • Stronger damage
    • Three core moves:
    1. M2 – Blue Gates Barrage
      • A multi-hit barrage that deals heavy damage and applies a burning ailment at the end.
    2. M1 Skill – Flicker Teleport
      • Same as Green Gates: teleport behind your target, great for surprise punishes.
    3. Charged M1 – Mid-range AoE Strike
      • Charge chakra and M1 to send out a mid-range strike with small AoE damage around the impact point.

    Blue Gates is your main clan-exclusive awakening as Lee. You can stop here and already have a very strong build.

    Red Gates – Gates of Death (Lee-Only, Extreme Late-Game)

    Red Gates is less a progression tool and more a self-destruct god mode. It’s the strongest ability in the game and deliberately hard to unlock and use.

    Key idea:

    • When you use Red Gates, you become a raid boss for the entire server
    • …and then you wipe when it’s over.

    How to Start Red Gates Progression

    Go to the Dojo where your Blue Gates quest ended and talk to Might Guy.

    He’ll give you similar hint messages as Tairock:

    • “Your fists are weak” → Missing M1s
    • “Your defense is weak” → Missing blocks
    • “You haven’t grasped the power of the inner gates” → Missing Blue Gates activations

    Red Gates Requirements

    Approximate requirements:

    1. 25,000 M1s
    2. 2500 blocks
    3. Around 100 Blue Gates activations
    4. Later, unlocking the mode itself also needs:
      • 10 Chakra Fragments
      • 1000 Acumen
      • Plus 1 Lee affinity from the fight

    1. 25,000 M1s

    This is the big wall.

    • You’ll hit this eventually just by playing Lee long-term.
    • Pushing it too hard in one sitting is a good way to burn out.

    If you want to speed it up:

    • Buy a Silver Kunai:
      • Very fast swings
      • Low damage
    • As Taijutsu, you already do less weapon damage, which helps.
    • Hit tanky enemies to maximize M1 count without killing too fast.

    2. 2500 Blocks

    Same logic as Blue Gates, just more:

    • Only player M1s count.
    • Set up with a friend and let them swing on your block.
    • This part is relatively quick once you commit to it.

    3. ~100 Blue Gates Activations

    If you’ve truly done 25,000 M1s as Lee, you’ll almost definitely have this requirement naturally as long as you actually used Blue Gates.

    If not, just spam the mode like you did for Green Gates.

    The Might Guy Fight – Red Gates Trial

    Once you meet all requirements, talk to Might Guy again and accept his challenge.

    Important rules:

    • You can only use Taijutsu skills
    • You can’t rely on healing ninjutsu (bring food if you’re not reanimated)
    • If you fail, you must age up once before retrying

    The fight has three phases:

    Phase 1 – Base Taijutsu

    • Moveset is similar to Tairock.
    • He has hyper armor, so don’t trade M1s.
    • Stick to:
      • Dynamic Entry to poke
      • Lion’s Barrage and Improved Whirlwind to punish
    • Play it safe and chip him down.

    Phase 2 – Green Gates

    He activates Green Gates and gains:

    • Teleport behind you
    • Primary Lotus and other Green Gates moves

    Strategy:

    • Block as much as possible when not attacking.
    • When he teleports behind you, immediately turn and block.
    • Blocking Primary Lotus gives you a small punish window – use Improved Whirlwind or similar.
    • Repeat: block → punish → block.

    Phase 3 – Blue Gates

    He now has the full Blue Gates toolkit:

    • Hirudora (long-range, massive damage)
    • Asakujaku (dangerous combo move)
    • Teleports and general chaos

    Strategy:

    • Stay close and block; Hirudora is easier to avoid at close range.
    • Watch for Asakujaku:
      • If you block it, you get another small punish window.
    • Keep the same rhythm: block big move → punish → block again.

    Once you defeat him, talk to Might Guy again to complete the challenge.

    Reward:

    • Second Lee Affinity – use this to unlock Red Gates, with additional:
      • 10 Chakra Fragments
      • 1000 Acumen

    What Red Gates Actually Does

    Red Gates is basically:

    • Infinite air jumps
    • Absurd movement speed
    • Teleport options
    • Massive AoE and single-target damage
    • Complete server terror

    Core moves:

    • Charged M1 – Sekizo
      • Mid-range shockwave barrage that chunks players hard.
    • M2 – Night Guy
      • Huge, fast, and extremely destructive dash/strike with a massive hitbox.
      • Very hard to avoid and can nuke groups of players instantly.

    But here’s the catch:

    • Your life force constantly drains while Red Gates is active.
    • You must kill other players to extend your timer.
    • When your life force runs out:
      • You’re knocked down briefly
      • Then you wipe completely

    Using Red Gates is a one-character suicide mission:

    • You can be reanimated later
    • But to use Red Gates again, you must age up 10 times

    It’s meant to be a rare, dramatic event – not a daily spam button.

    Should You Go for Red Gates?

    For most Lee players:

    • Blue Gates is more than enough to be strong and relevant.
    • Red Gates is “extra content” for people who want:
      • A one-time power fantasy
      • To obliterate a server they really dislike

    If you enjoy your build and don’t want to wipe it, treat Red Gates as optional lore flavor, not a goal.

    Recommended Progression Path for Lee

    If you want a clean roadmap:

    1. Unlock Weighted Kick → open Taijutsu tree.
    2. Get Redsmith’s Mold from Barbarian.
    3. Unlock Taijutsu Combat, Improved Whirlwind, Improved Barrage, and Chakra Punch.
    4. Go to Biyo Bay → buy stone → kill Tairock until Fighter’s Wraps drop.
    5. Spend fragments + ryo + wraps → unlock Green Gates.
    6. Farm M1s, blocks, and Green Gates uses while progressing.
    7. Start Blue Gates quest at Tairock → complete the weighted run and final fight → unlock Blue Gates.
    8. If you’re insane and committed:
      • Grind 25,000 M1s, 2500 blocks, 100 Blue Gates activations
      • Beat Might Guy
      • Unlock Red Gates

    If you want, I can also turn this into a shorter checklist version (for quick reference while you play) or a pure “boss strategy” guide focused only on Tairock and Might Guy.

  • Grow a Garden Trade Token Farming Guide

    Trade Tokens basically turned Grow a Garden into a tiny stock market. If you understand how value works and you’re willing to watch prices instead of just pressing “ready” in trades, you can stack a ridiculous amount of tokens without spending Robux.

    This guide breaks down:

    • What Trade Tokens are
    • How the new trading system works
    • The best token farming methods you should be using
    • How to avoid being that person selling a 20k pet for 200 tokens by accident

    I’ll keep it practical and focused on things that actually make you profit.

    What Are Trade Tokens?

    Trade Tokens are the new core trading currency. You use them to:

    • Buy pets, plants, and booth skins from other players
    • List your own items in the trading plaza
    • Basically do anything that used to rely on “value” talk and guessing

    Most importantly:
    You can use tokens instead of Robux for a lot of things, which means good traders can play “free-to-play” but still get premium stuff.

    Trading Tickets?
    They’re basically relics now. The system doesn’t need them anymore and they’ll likely be fully phased out.

    How the New Trading System Works

    Trading Tab

    On the left side, you now have a Trading Tab where you can:

    • View other players’ inventories
    • Send trade requests directly
    • Check your trade history
    • Control who can see your inventory (Everyone / Friends / No one)

    This is your “classic” trade interface, just more organized and integrated.

    Trading PIN

    You can set a trade PIN so nobody can hop on your account and instantly dump your best items in a bad trade.

    • Never forget this PIN
    • If you lose it, you’re basically locked out of secure trading

    Scam Warnings

    There’s also a built-in unfair trade warning:

    • If the game detects a huge value gap (you giving way more than you’re getting), it warns you
    • This doesn’t block you, but it tells you: “Are you sure?”

    Still use your brain, but it’s a nice safety net.

    Trading Plaza & Stalls (The Token Engine)

    The real update lives behind the big portal.

    The Portal

    • Enter the portal to go to the Trading World / Plaza
    • Think of it like a dedicated marketplace server

    Here you can:

    • Claim a stall
    • Customize your stall appearance with container skins (purely cosmetic)
    • List pets, plants, and even booth skins for Trade Tokens

    Setting Up a Stall

    1. Walk up to an unclaimed booth
    2. Press E to claim it
    3. Choose your desired stall skin
    4. Press E again on your stall to Create Listing
    5. Choose:
      • Pet
      • Plant
      • Booth Skin
    6. Set the price in Tokens

    That’s the foundation of almost every token farming method.

    Understanding RAP (Average Price)

    Every tradable item has a RAP (Recent Average Price):

    • RAP = The average amount of tokens people are actually paying for that item
    • It’s dynamic – it changes as players buy/sell
    • You can view RAP in the index

    Example:

    • If a pet’s RAP is 24,000 tokens and someone lists it for 24,000, they’re selling at fair value
    • If someone lists that same pet for 1,200 tokens, that’s insanely under RAP – a perfect flip opportunity
    • If someone lists it for 80,000 tokens, they’re trying to overcharge

    RAP is your anchor. It’s how you know:

    • What to sell for
    • What’s worth buying
    • Where the “steal” listings are

    Method 1: Selling Your Own Pets & Plants at Smart Prices

    This is the most basic token farm, but if you do it intelligently, it scales extremely well.

    How to Do It

    1. Go to the Trading Plaza and claim a stall.
    2. Open the listing menu and choose:
      • Rare pets
      • Strong plants
      • Desirable booth skins
    3. Check each item’s RAP in the index.
    4. List the item:
      • Around RAP if you want fair value
      • Slightly below RAP if you want fast sales

    Why This Works

    Most people just:

    • Overprice by a mile
    • Underprice by accident
    • Never check RAP

    If you consistently list at reasonable values, you’ll:

    • Sell more consistently
    • Stack tokens without needing to scream in chat
    • Get repeat buyers who recognize that your stall isn’t a scam

    Method 2: Sniping Underpriced Listings (Flipping)

    This is where you stop being a passive seller and start acting like a trader.

    The Idea

    • Patrol the plaza and look at other players’ stalls
    • Compare listing prices vs RAP
    • If someone sells an item way below RAP, instantly buy it
    • Relist that same item closer to RAP for easy profit

    Example:

    • Rainbow Stung Beetle RAP: 24,000 tokens
    • A player lists one for 1,200 tokens
    • You grab it for 1,200
    • Relist at 20,000–24,000

    That’s a massive profit from one click.

    How to Do It Efficiently

    • Refresh stalls often
    • Look for:
      • New players who undervalue their items
      • People who clearly didn’t check RAP
    • Focus on items with:
      • Good abilities
      • High RAP
      • High demand

    This is easily one of the fastest ways to build tokens if you’re active and pay attention.

    Method 3: Investing in Current Limited Pets (Long-Term Profit)

    Now we move from “fast flips” to “market reading.”

    When a new limited pet drops (like the Bearded Dragon mentioned):

    • Everyone is farming it
    • Supply is high
    • Many players panic-sell for cheap

    If the pet has good abilities, its demand will grow over time:

    • Event ends → supply stops growing
    • Demand stays or increases
    • Price goes up

    How to Play This

    1. During the event:
      • Buy good limited pets below or around RAP
      • Focus on ones with strong, useful abilities
    2. After the event:
      • Wait a few weeks as fewer people have it
      • As RAP rises, list them gradually at the new higher value

    You’re basically treating pets like stocks:

    • Buy low when everyone has them
    • Sell later when everyone wants them

    You don’t have to be perfect – just avoid throwing tokens at obvious trash.

    Method 4: Focus on Demand, Not Just Rarity

    Not every rare pet is valuable. The game doesn’t care how shiny something is if nobody wants it.

    When choosing what to farm and list:

    • Prioritize pets/plants that:
      • Have strong abilities
      • Are used in popular strats or grinding methods
      • Are currently talked about in trading circles

    A random rare that nobody uses will:

    • Have low RAP
    • Sell slowly or not at all

    A mid-tier rarity with a broken ability will:

    • Hold value
    • Be easy to trade
    • Be much better to stock and flip

    Method 5: Use Community Value Checks (Discord / Value Helpers)

    If you really want to maximize profit and avoid being scammed, plug into the community side.

    Many servers have:

    • Value channels
    • Value helpers (people who track prices and advise others)
    • Sections where you can list:
      • What you’re selling
      • What you’re buying

    Using that:

    • You avoid underpricing a rare item
    • You avoid massively overpaying for something with inflated RAP & no real demand
    • You learn which pets are quietly rising in value

    Pairing that knowledge with your stall means:

    • Better pricing
    • Better flips
    • Fewer “I just sold a 50k pet for 500 tokens” moments

    Should You Ever Buy Tokens with Robux?

    Yes, technically you can just swipe the card and buy tokens directly.
    But:

    • They’re very expensive for what you get
    • It’s almost always worse value than just learning how to flip and trade

    Robux → tokens is an option, but not a smart one if you’re even slightly willing to learn the market.

  • The Forge Fast Leveling & Progression Guide

    Leveling in The Forge feels brutal when you’re new, but once you understand how quests, index rewards, and EXP multipliers interact, you can climb from level 1 to the mid-game far quicker than most players realize. This guide walks you through the most efficient leveling route—from beginner to late-game—while explaining why each method works.

    Start Strong: Use All Current Codes

    Before doing anything, redeem every active code.

    Open Settings → Scroll down → Enter codes:

    • 40k likes → +5 Race Rerolls
    • 100k → +3 Race Rerolls
    • Plus any older codes you’ve skipped

    They don’t boost EXP directly, but the rerolls give you a chance at strong race traits early, which makes leveling safer and faster.

    Level 1–10: Early Game Power Leveling

    1. Don’t Skip Quests

    New players often sprint past NPCs, but early quests are the fastest EXP per minute available at low level.

    Two NPCs are essential:

    Nord – Gathering Quest (Best Early EXP)

    • Fast to repeat
    • Requires no combat
    • Gives significantly more EXP than early combat quests
      This is the quest absolutely worth spamming until level 10.

    Brave – Zombie Hunt (Optional)

    • Slow EXP
    • Good if you want combat practice
    • Not as efficient as Nord

    Why level 10 matters

    You must reach level 10 to unlock World 2, and this is the only slow part of early progression. Once you hit level 10, the game opens up dramatically.

    Level 10–20: World 2 Progression

    2. Start the Sensei Morrow Questline Immediately

    The biggest mistake players make is forgetting to talk to Sensei Morrow a second time.

    His storyline provides:

    • Large chunks of EXP
    • Unlocks
    • Progression required for later systems

    Missing this questline slows you down more than anything else in World 2.

    3. Clear Every One-Time Village Quest

    Every quest giver in the village area offers EXP you shouldn’t ignore. These quests stack with your normal progression and help smooth out the mid-game grind.

    World 2 Daily & Hidden EXP Sources

    Mask Stranger – Daily Skeletal Threat Quest

    This NPC gives one of the highest EXP payouts in World 2.

    • Appears to reset daily
    • Requires you to defeat skeleton mobs
    • Difficult if you’re exactly level 10, so gear up first

    This quest alone can push multiple levels when completed with decent gear.

    Potion Delivery NPC

    This NPC only accepts Health Potion #1 (from World 1).
    Delivering the correct version gives a quick EXP bump.

    Goblin King Secret Quest

    Hidden just beyond the caves.

    A short quest that offers:

    • Very good EXP
    • Easy completion

    Monkey Secret Quest

    Located deeper in the jungle area.
    Give him Bananomite (found in World 1 ore nodes) for:

    • A huge 5,000 EXP payout
    • Easy access even for mid-game players

    Don’t Forget the Index: A Massive EXP Boost Everyone Misses

    4. Claim Index EXP for Ores, Forges, and Enemies

    Open:
    Inventory → Index

    Every time you discover:

    • a new ore
    • a new enemy
    • a new forge recipe

    You earn claimable EXP.

    For low–mid level players, these rewards are absurdly high:

    • Early-level claims can grant thousands of EXP
    • This often equals multiple levels instantly

    And most players don’t touch these rewards until much later.

    Achievements: Where the Real EXP Boost Lives

    5. Unlock the EXP Multiplier Skill

    Open:
    Inventory → Achievements → Scroll to the bottom

    You’ll find a leveling skill path that unlocks:

    • +6% EXP
    • +12% EXP
    • +18% EXP
    • …eventually up to +30% EXP Multiplier

    You can equip only one skill, so while leveling:

    Always equip the EXP Multiplier Skill.

    This permanently accelerates every kill and quest reward.

    Efficient Farming: Your Choice of AFK or Combat

    6. AFK Farming (Ores)

    Once your EXP multiplier is equipped, AFK ore farming becomes more efficient than early grinding.

    Why this works:

    • Ores spawn fast
    • Respawn in predictable patterns
    • EXP is consistent
    • You stay safe even with weak gear

    Many players stay on two adjacent ore nodes and farm for 10–15 minutes per level.

    7. Combat Farming (NPC Grinding)

    If you prefer active play:

    • World 2 mobs give excellent EXP when paired with the multiplier
    • Parrying makes fights much easier
    • Learning patterns reduces potion waste

    With decent weapons, you can comfortably grind the mobs near World 2 village.

    Level 20–30 and Beyond: Main Story as Your Core XP Route

    8. Continue the Main Questline

    Captain Rowan moves you forward through the central main story.
    These quests give:

    • The largest structured EXP rewards
    • Plenty of gold
    • Unlocks for systems you will need later

    Side quests + dailies + story is the fastest combination.

    Summary: Fastest Leveling Route

    1–10

    • Spam Nord gathering quest
    • Do Brave only if you want combat early

    10–20

    • Start Sensei Morrow questline
    • Pick up every village quest
    • Start Mask Stranger dailies when strong enough

    Hidden EXP Must-Dos

    • Monkey + Goblin secret quests
    • Potion delivery
    • Index claims (HUGE EXP)
    • Forge tab claims
    • Achievement EXP multiplier skill

    20–30+

    • Follow main story
    • Use AFK ore farming + combat mob grinding
  • One Fruit Simulator Winter + Ryuma Update Guide – Codes

    This Winter + Ryuma update packs in a lot more than just a new boss. You’re getting a full Snow awakening, a new raid, a new late–game weapon, a returning candy event, a short–term treasure pass, and several new tradeable collectibles. This guide breaks down everything that actually matters and what’s worth your grind or gems.

    I’ll go system by system and then end with a simple priority list so you know exactly what to focus on.

    Snow Awakening & New Raid Boss

    True Snow Awakening Raid

    Snow finally gets its full awakening, but it’s locked behind a brand–new raid:

    • New raid: True Snow Awakening Raid
    • New Snow raid boss: part of the awakening requirement
    • Reward: True Snow Awakening for your Snow fruit

    You’ll need a True Snow Key to enter, which drops from a specific boss in Second Sea.

    Where to Get the True Snow Key

    • Sea: Second Sea
    • Island: Hazard Island
    • Boss: Snow–themed boss with around 1 trillion HP

    This boss:

    • Drops the True Snow Key
    • Can drop Snow Medals
    • Has a chance to drop three different accessories

    The loop looks like this:

    1. Farm Hazard Island boss → Get True Snow Keys + medals + accessories
    2. Use keys in True Snow Awakening Raid
    3. Clear raid → Progress or unlock True Snow Awakening

    If you’re a Snow main or planning to switch into Snow, this is your main grind.

    New Weapon: Awakened Dragon Slayer

    Base Weapon – Dragon Slayer

    First you need the base Dragon Slayer.

    • Location: Second Sea
    • Area: Night Castle
    • Method: Dropped by a boss there (kill the Night Castle boss to get the sword)

    The creator originally thought it was Third Sea, but corrected it: it’s Second Sea – Night Castle.

    Upgrading to Awakened/Unleashed Dragon Slayer

    All upgrades are done at the Weapon Upgrader:

    1. Interact with the Weapon Upgrader
    2. Select Dragon Slayer
    3. Choose the Unleash / Awaken option (it’s under “Unleashed”)

    First upgrade requirement shown:

    • 70 Dragon Scales
    • 20,000,000 Berries

    You’ll need more Dragon Scales & more Berries for further upgrade stages.

    Where to Get Dragon Scales

    • Source: Hybrid Dragon Raid
    • You’ll need to farm this raid repeatedly to reach 70+ Dragon Scales

    Is Dragon Slayer Worth It Right Now?

    The video creator’s verdict (and it honestly lines up with how it plays out in most games):

    • If you already own top–tier swords, Dragon Slayer is not worth the cost until it’s fully awakened/unleashed and properly upgraded.
    • Damage is underwhelming compared to end–game swords until you’ve dumped a lot of resources into it.
    • If you’re more of a collector or a mid–game player without crazy weapons, it can be a fun project. Otherwise, it’s low priority.

    Short version:

    • Meta chaser with strong swords? Skip or park it as a side project.
    • Collector or progressing through mid–late game? You can go for it, but don’t expect it to instantly beat your best.

    Winter Candy Event (Returning Candy System)

    During the Winter celebration, the classic Candy Event is back.

    How Candy Works

    • Candy drops from any non-wave raid NPC
    • You can farm it basically by killing mobs in normal content
    • Three types mentioned:
      • Yellow Candy
      • Blue Candy
      • Pink Candy

    Where to Use Candy

    You can trade candy at special NPCs:

    • Candy trade NPCs appear on an island in any sea
    • You exchange candy for temporary boosts, like:
      • Luck increases
      • Farming/efficiency boosts
      • General progression bonuses

    If you’re actively grinding raids, new raids, or accessories, these boosts are a nice multiplier layered on top of your normal grind. Don’t sleep on them if you’re playing anyway.

    Winter Treasure Pass (Fast–Paced Pass)

    A new Treasure Pass is live, themed around movie outfits & gear.

    Key details:

    • Contains new gear and outfits inspired by movie content
    • Has 5× experience gain on the pass itself
      • This means you can finish it much faster than a normal pass
    • It’s short–lived
      • Designed to be cleared quickly
      • Once it’s gone, those items are gone forever

    If you care about limited cosmetics, this is a high priority. If you only care about raw combat stats and already have strong gear, it’s more of a luxury grind.

    New Collection & Trade Items

    With Halloween ending, some old limited pieces are moving toward the trading ecosystem.

    Halloween Event Status

    • Halloween Event is over
    • For those who missed it, the devs confirmed:
      • Halloween items will become tradable in the next update

    That means if you missed them, you might still be able to buy them from other players later.

    New Collection Trade Items

    New collection/tradeable items include:

    • Jack Pumpkin
    • Jack O’ Lantern
    • Free Soul
    • Broomstick
    • Witch Hat
    • Hron (likely a themed collectible/weapon/accessory name from event set)

    These look designed to sit in that intersection of collection value + trading value rather than being purely power–creep items.

    New Accessories, Titles & Packages

    The update also quietly packs in a bunch of side content:

    • 12 new accessories
    • 4 new titles
    • 2 new codes (not listed in the transcript – check the game’s update log or description for exact code text)

    New Packages

    There are two new packages, one of which is a big “one–time value” pack that the creator showcased.

    That one–time pack includes things like:

    • Gems/currency (600 shown in the video)
    • 8 True Snow Keys
    • 40 Dragon Scales
    • 1 Permanent Snow
    • 8 True String Keys
    • 8 True Gravity Keys
    • Around 60+ Gravity Medals
    • Around 65+ String Medals
    • Around 65+ String Essence & Gravity Essence
    • Plus extra riches like Rich Reed / other boosters

    If you spend, that pack is basically a fast–track bundle:

    • Accelerates Snow awakening
    • Gives you a head start on Dragon Slayer materials
    • Boosts String/Gravity progression

    What You Should Actually Focus On

    To keep things simple, here’s how I’d prioritize this update based on progression value:

    1. Snow Awakening (If You Use Snow or Plan To)

    • Farm Hazard Island boss → True Snow Keys + Snow Medals
    • Run True Snow Awakening Raid
    • Build toward True Snow Awakening
      If Snow fits your playstyle, this is your main power gain.

    2. Winter Candy Boosts

    • Farm candy while doing your usual grind (non-wave mobs)
    • Exchange for luck & stat boosts
    • Stack these when running raids or farming Dragon Scales / accessories

    3. Treasure Pass (If You Care About Limited Stuff)

    • With 5× pass EXP, it doesn’t take long
    • Great for players who love cosmetic flex plus some bonus stats

    4. Dragon Slayer (Conditional)

    • Only worth heavy investment if:
      • You don’t already own multiple top–tier swords, or
      • You’re a completionist/collector
    • Get it from Night Castle (Second Sea)
    • Use Hybrid Dragon Raid to farm Dragon Scales
    • Upgrade at Weapon Upgrader → Unleash tab

    5. Collections, Titles & Trades

    • Farm and hold onto new trade items & accessories
    • As Halloween gear becomes tradable, the market will shift
    • Good opportunity if you like trading and value flipping
  • Fisch Silly Fun Happy Rod Quest Guide (Silly Clown Quest)

    The Silly Fun Happy Rod is one of those items that exists purely to mess with you. It has insane-looking stats on paper, constantly trolls your screen while you fish, and still somehow manages to be only “situationally useful” at best.

    This guide walks through everything you need to do to unlock it:

    • How to start the Silly Clown quest
    • All 20 balloon animal locations from the video path
    • How to get the String
    • What the rod actually does and whether it’s worth using

    You can complete the whole thing in roughly an hour if you move efficiently.

    How to Start the Silly Clown Quest

    First, you need access to the Underground Music Venue in the Depths.

    1. Go to the Depths.
    2. Follow the path down into the Underground Music Venue entrance (same route as usual: through the Depths area and into the hidden venue).
    3. Drop down into the venue room.
    4. Talk to the Silly Clown NPC.

    He gives you the quest:

    Find 20 Balloon Animals scattered around the world, then bring him String.

    Once the quest is active, you can start the world tour.

    All 20 Balloon Animal Locations

    The video route doesn’t go strictly region-by-region; it zigzags a bit. Below is the order shown, cleaned up into a clear checklist.

    You can do them in any order, but following this path will roughly match what you see in the footage.

    1. Moosewood Village Roof

    • Go to Moosewood.
    • Climb the ladder up onto the rooftops.
    • The first balloon is on the roof above the village.

    2. Small Island Off Moosewood

    • From Moosewood, sail to the small island just off the town.
    • Climb up the rocks/structure on that island.
    • Balloon is on the upper section.

    3. Oil Rig – Back Side

    • Travel to the Oil Rig.
    • Climb the rope up onto the platform.
    • Run around the backside of the structure.
    • Balloon is on the rear side, visible once you go all the way around.

    4. The Arch – Cliff Corner

    • Head to The Arch.
    • Climb up the rocks toward the higher section.
    • Balloon is on a corner ledge overlooking the area.

    5. Forsaken Shores – Skull Top

    • Go to Forsaken Shores.
    • Climb up the ladders and rocks until you reach the top of the giant skull.
    • Balloon is sitting right on top.

    6. Harvester Spike – First Island

    • Sail out toward Harvester Spike, the small unmarked island with a tree.
    • Balloon is near the tree on the first island.

    7. Harvester Spike – Second Island

    • From the first island, hop or sail to the nearby island shown in the video route.
    • Climb up the rocks.
    • Balloon is at the top of this second Harvester Spike island.

    8. Roslit Volcano Summit

    • Go to Roslit Bay.
    • Work your way up inside and around the volcano.
    • The path is awkward, but the goal is the very top ridge of the volcano.
    • Balloon is on the upper edge at the peak.

    9. Roslit Bridge

    • From the volcano, glide or climb down toward the stone bridge below.
    • Balloon is on or right beside the bridge.

    10. Sunstone Island

    • Travel to Sunstone Island.
    • From the main dock area, climb up toward the raised paths.
    • Balloon is on a ledge around the outer rock, just off the main route.

    11. Island Near Moosewood (Earark / Emark Island)

    • Return toward Moosewood and head to the named island just behind/near it, often called Earark / Emark Island.
    • Climb to the top area.
    • Balloon is on the upper part of the island.

    12. Mush Grove – Outer Rock

    • Sail to Mush Grove.
    • Move around the outer rocks behind the main island.
    • Balloon is perched on one of the high rocks outside, visible once you circle and look up.

    13. Grand Reef – Central Island

    • Head to Grand Reef.
    • Go to the central island (the one he visits in the video after Mush Grove).
    • Balloon is on the rocky section of that island.

    14. Statue of Sovereignty – Inner Cave

    • Go to Statue of Sovereignty.
    • Enter the cave at the base of the statue (but not into the deeper altar).
    • Balloon is in a corner inside that cave, fairly close to the entrance.

    15. Castaway Cliffs – Rock Arch

    • Travel to Castaway Cliffs.
    • Climb up via the ladders and rock paths to the higher cliffs.
    • Make your way out toward the big natural rock arch.
    • Balloon is on or near the arch itself.

    16. Terrapin Island – Cliff Ledge

    • Go to Terrapin Island.
    • Climb the rocky cliff behind the main area.
    • Balloon is on the upper ledge; the jumps are a bit fiddly, so expect a couple of tries.

    17. Unmarked Island Between Sunstone & Castaway

    • Sail between Sunstone and Castaway Cliffs in a rough northwest-ish direction.
    • You’ll run into a small unmarked island.
    • Balloon is on that island’s rocks.

    18. Snowcap – Backside Balloon

    • Travel to Snowcap Island.
    • Circle around to the back side of the island, behind the settlement.
    • Balloon is on a snowy/icy ledge at the rear.

    19. High Cliff Balloon (Route Island)

    • From Snowcap, the route in the video goes to another elevated island with multiple rock jumps and ladders (a “high cliff” style area).
    • Climb up the path shown: several jumps, then along a ridge.
    • Balloon is near the top of that cliff path.
    • When your quest counter hits 19/20, you know this one is done.

    20. Lost Jungle – Arch Behind Shipwright

    • Finally, travel to Lost Jungle.
    • From the shipwright, look behind him at the rocky arch.
    • Use the nearby tree to climb up onto the arch.
    • Balloon is at the top.
    • This completes the 20/20 Balloon Animals requirement.

    Once you have all 20, your quest updates and the clown will now ask for one final item: String.

    Getting the String (Desolate Deep)

    The last step before your reward is simple but RNG-based.

    Where to Get String

    • Location: Desolate Deep
    • Item type: Trash

    Recommended Setup

    • Use a Training Rod.
    • Use Garbage Bait for higher trash chance.

    Just fish in Desolate Deep until you catch String. It’s completely random, so it might drop quickly or take a handful of casts.

    Once you have the String, return to the Silly Clown in the Underground Music Venue and hand it over.

    Silly Fun Happy Rod – Stats & Behavior

    After turning in the String, you receive the Silly Fun Happy Rod.

    Displayed Stats

    • Infinite Lure Speed
    • 250% Luck
    • 0% Control
    • Infinite Resilience
    • Infinite Max KG
    • Internal effect: +50% Force Progress Speed
    • 50% chance for the Honk mutation while fishing

    On paper, this looks absolutely cracked. In practice, it’s very clearly designed as a troll rod.

    What It Actually Does In Use

    While fishing, you’ll see things like:

    • Jump scare events when you hook a fish
    • Fake “broken” UI moments
    • Visual gags like sudden popups or odd behavior in the bar
    • Random “Just kidding” style messages after baiting you with something crazy

    The rod is intentionally unreliable and chaotic. It’s more for fun, clips, and screenshots than serious grind.

    Is the Silly Fun Happy Rod Worth It?

    That depends on what you care about:

    • If you like event exclusives, weird items, and cosmetic flex value:
      Definitely worth doing before it disappears.
    • If you’re strictly about max efficiency and consistent catching:
      This rod isn’t designed to be your main tool. It can be fun, but not something you rely on for serious progress.

    The quest itself is simple once you know the locations, so even if you only plan to show it off occasionally, it’s still a nice limited-time trophy to have.
