The Forge Best Weapon Recipes: Legendary, Mythical & Divine Crafting Guide

If you’ve spent any time in The Forge, you know that crafting weapons is more than just clicking “forge.” It’s about picking the right ores, risking a bit of RNG, and playing the crafting minigames just right. If you want to skip the endless grind of mediocre weapons and shoot straight for top-tier gear, understanding the best weapon recipes is critical. Some players even stock up on resources or game currency — a few use sites like PVPBank to buy Roblox Robux for resource boosts early — but with the right recipes and strategy, you don’t need to rely on shortcuts.

In this article, I’m going to walk you through the best weapon recipes for rare, legendary, mythical, and divine weapons in The Forge. I’ll break down which ores to use, what drop chances you’re looking at, and how to maximize your odds of getting a weapon that actually hits hard. Think of this as your veteran gamer’s crafting bible — no fluff, just results.

Why Weapon Recipes Matter in The Forge

Before we dive into recipes, let’s break down why they matter so much:

• Stat multipliers vary — different ore mixes give different base damage multipliers. A bad recipe might yield a slow, weak weapon. A good recipe gives you strong base damage and sometimes useful extra traits.

• Weapon type RNG — even with the right ores, you have chances for different weapon types (sword, axe, katana, greatsword, colossal sword, etc.). Knowing the probabilities helps manage expectations.

• Trait potential — strong recipes may also add critical traits like burn damage, AOE explosions, crit chance, etc. These traits can dramatically change how effective your build is.

• Value for resources — ores are precious. Crafting without a plan wastes them. Using tested recipes helps ensure you’re not gambling away your resources.

With that in mind, let’s break down the top recipes you should aim for.

Rare Weapon Recipes — Early Game But Worth It

For newer players or those unsure about risking high tier ores, some rare weapon recipes offer modest multipliers and a chance at handy early-game weapons.

Recipe 1

• Ores: 10 × Diamond + 2 × Eye Ores

• Multiplier: 2.33x, 2 traits

• Weapon chances: 72% Katana, 22% Gauntlets, 3% Straight Sword

• Traits: –4% HP, +6% Weapon Damage

Recipe 2

• Ores: 9 × Diamond + 2 × Eye Ores

• Multiplier: 2.36x, 2 traits

• Weapon chances: 63% Katana, 32% Gauntlets, 5% Straight Sword

• Traits: –4.68% HP, +7.02% Weapon Damage

These recipes are great if you don’t have a high-tier pickaxe yet, or if you want to test out crafting without risking expensive ores. They give a reasonable damage boost, and the katana or gauntlet could serve you until you reach mid-game.

Legendary Weapon Recipes — First Big Power Spike

Once you have better ore access, legendary recipes offer strong multipliers and traits that make weapons truly usable for late-early to mid-game.

Legendary Recipe 1

• Ores: 10 × Eye, 10 × Fireite, 10 × Magmaite, 10 × Rivalite

• Multiplier: 4.21x with 5 traits

• Weapon chances: 65% Colossal Sword, 32% Great Axe, 3% Great Sword

• Traits: +11.63% Weapon DMG, –7.75% HP, +15.5% Burn DMG (23.25% chance), +38.75% AOE Explosion DMG (27.13% chance), +15.50% Crit Chance

Legendary Recipe 2

• Ores: 3 × Eye, 3 × Fireite, 3 × Magmaite, 3 × Rivalite

• Same multiplier and trait potential, but different outcome pool: 72% Katana, 22% Gauntlets, 3% Straight Sword

These recipes are ideal if you have built up a decent ore stash and want weapons that will carry you deep into mid-game. The Colossal Sword is especially powerful for crowd clearing, while the Katana or Gauntlets offer faster, more agile playstyles.

Mythical Weapon Recipes — Mid to Late Game Power

If you’re serious about progression and have access to high-tier ores, mythical recipes offer some of the best potential for early end-game readiness.

Mythical Recipe 1

• Ores: 5 × Demonite, 5 × Darkryte, 5 × Lightite, 5 × Fireite

• Multiplier: 5.22x, 1 trait

• Weapon chances: 57% Great Axe, 36% Great Sword, 6% Katana, 1% Gauntlets

• Trait: +15.50% Burn DMG (23.25% chance)

Mythical Recipe 2

• Ores: 10 × Demonite, 10 × Darkryte, 10 × Fireite, 10 × Magmaite

• Multiplier: 5.33x, 2 traits

• Weapon chances: 65% Colossal Sword, 32% Great Axe, 3% Great Sword

• Traits: +15.50% Burn DMG (23.25% chance), +38.75% AOE Explosion DMG (27.13% chance)

These recipes yield weapons that are effective for tougher areas — high HP mobs, dungeon runs, or group fights. The higher base damage combined with trait potential makes them more reliable than pure random drops.

Divine Weapon Recipes — Endgame & Endgame-Ready Gear

Divine recipes are resource heavy, but if you’re pushing endgame content or want top-tier weapons, these are the recipes you should aim for.

Divine Recipe 1

• Ores: 10 × Galaxite, 10 × Darkryte, 10 × Fireite, 10 × Magmaite

• Multiplier: 6.83x, 2 traits

• Weapon chances: 65% Colossal Sword, 32% Great Axe, 3% Great Sword

• Traits: +15.50% Burn DMG (23.25% chance), +38.75% AOE Explosion DMG (27.13% chance)

Divine Recipe 2

• Ores: 10 × Galaxite, 5 × Darkryte, 5 × Fireite, 5 × Magmaite

• Multiplier: 7.76x, 2 traits

• Weapon chances: 60% Great Axe, 26% Colossal Sword, 12% Great Sword, 1% Katana

• Traits: +11.00% Burn DMG (16.50% chance), +27.50% AOE Explosion DMG (19.25% chance)

Weapons forged from divine recipes hit very hard and tend to stay relevant deep into endgame. The Colossal Sword or Great Axe from these recipes are among the strongest weapons you can get — especially if you pair them with good runes.

Weapon Type, Playstyle and Your Build

Choosing which recipe to go for isn’t just about ore availability or damage numbers. It’s also about your preferred playstyle and build. Here’s how to align your recipe with your gear style:

• Colossal Sword / Great Axe: Great for tanky or heavy-hit melee builds. Use legendary or divine recipes for maximum effect.

• Katana / Gauntlets / Straight Sword: Better for fast builds, dodge-heavy playstyles, or speed-clearing mobs. Rare to mythical recipes work best here.

• Balanced builds: If you like flexibility, mythic recipes are the sweet spot — good damage, manageable resource cost, and decent traits.

Always check rune compatibility before committing to expensive ore usage. A strong rune + decent base weapon often outperforms a “perfect stat” weapon without runes.

Best Early to Mid Game Weapon Progression Path

If you are relatively new but want to scale efficiently, follow this progression path:

1. Use Rare recipes (with Diamond + Eye Ore) until you get a mid-tier pickaxe.

2. Once you have stable ore flow, craft Legendary recipe weapons.

3. Farm Demonite, Darkryte, and high tier ores as you grind; then aim for Mythical recipes when you have enough stock.

4. Save Galaxite ore for late game and craft Divine weapons only when you have enough runes and gear to support them.

This path balances resource use, progression speed, and weapon strength without burning through rare ores too early.

Common Mistakes When Forging Weapons

Even experienced players mess this up sometimes. Here are mistakes to avoid:

• Forging high-tier weapons without good runes — wastes rare ores.

• Forging before you have a stable ore supply — leads to long farming sessions.

• Ignoring weapon type RNG — sometimes you’ll need a sword but end up with a greatsword; know your chances.

• Over-reforging early — early reforging or rerolling wastes resources that could be better used later.

Approach forging carefully, check recipes, and only spend high tier resources when you know what you’re doing.

Final Thoughts: Craft Smart, Not Hard

The Forge can feel brutal when you are swinging a butter-knife weapon at level 30 thinking you’re going to beat a final boss. But if you take the time to learn these weapon recipes — rare, legendary, mythical, and divine — you will feel the difference. Suddenly kills will happen in a flash, mobs will drop faster, and you’ll be ready for mid to late game content without hours of random grinding.

Whether you prefer slow sweeping Colossal Swords, lightning-fast Katanas, or sturdy Great Axes, the right recipe makes the weapon. Combine that with solid runes and smart gameplay, and The Forge becomes a whole different beast.
