What to know
- Damage-focused armor prioritizes ores like Eye Ore, Frost Fossil, and Lightite for high damage multipliers, often at the cost of speed.
- Craft full sets (helmet, chestplate, leggings) separately using 25-30 ores per piece for optimal stats.
- Recipes vary by RNG but emphasize mid-to-late game materials from caves like Raven Cave or volcanic areas.
- Expect 30-97% extra damage from top builds, tested in recent World 3 updates.
Crafting Damage Armor in The Forge Roblox involves mining specific ores and forging them at the central crucible. You combine quantities of damage-boosting ores like Eye Ore for raw power and Frost Fossil for multipliers, aiming for high-roll results on heavy or knight variants. Recent guides highlight builds exceeding 90% damage boosts as of early 2026.
| Ore Type | Primary Benefit | Best Mining Spot | Pieces per Armor Piece |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eye Ore | Core damage | Shot Vessel Veins | 9–12 |
| Frost Fossil | Damage multiplier | Frostspire Mining Zone | 9–12 |
| Lightite | Speed + damage | Lightite Crystal Nodes | 10–12 |
| Mythril | Defense balance | Mid-Depth Caves | 9–11 |
Accessing the forge station
Locate the forge in your current world hub, typically Stonewake's Cross or advanced areas like Forgotten Kingdom. Interact with the large crucible pot to open the crafting interface. Switch to the Armor tab to begin dragging ores.
Gathering materials for damage builds
Mine in high-level zones for key ores:
- Eye Ore from shot vessel veins (up to 3 per vein).
- Frost Fossil for damage with minor speed penalties (9-12 pieces recommended).
- Lightite (10-12) and Mythril (9-11) for balanced speed and attack.
- Vitality boosters like Heavenite for HP sustain during farming.
Stock 75-90 total ores per full set, focusing on recent patches where volcanic rock yields improved.
How to craft a full damage armor set
You can craft best damage armor following these steps:
- RNG affects outcomes (e.g., 49% Heavy Leggings chance), so recraft as needed.
- Select Armor tab and choose the slot (e.g., Heavy Helmet for max stats).
- Drag in base ores: Start with 8-11 Mythril or Etherealite for structure, then add 9 Eye Ore.
- Layer damage boosters: Add 9-12 Frost Fossil and 10-12 Lightite; adjust for 30% ore vitality mix.
- Confirm and forge; watch for 32-97% damage rolls. Repeat 2-4 times per piece for legendaries.
- Equip the set for tests—expect negatives like -5% speed but +35% HP.
Optimizing for maximum damage output
Mix 30% vitality ores with 9 Frost Fossil and 12 Eye Ore for 97.5% total damage. Avoid overusing Heaven Knight (save for weapons). Test in PvE like Gargantuan bosses.
Useful Ores & What They Do
In The Forge, each ore has unique effects or stat multipliers when used in armor crafting — if that ore makes up at least 30 % of the total recipe, its trait activates.
| Ore | Primary Benefit | Common Trait |
|---|---|---|
| Eye Ore | Boosts raw weapon damage when used in armor | Increases weapon damage |
| Obsidian | Great baseline heavy armor ore | Increases vitality/defense |
| Mythril | Balanced bonus to vitality & damage | Vitality + damage |
| Uranium | Often paired for high end builds | Increased vitality/traits |
| Lightite | Speed + survivability combo ore | Movement speed / vitality |
| Darkryte | Legendary tier ore | Dodge chance & vitality boost |
| Demonite | High rarity support ore | Can add extra traits |
| Magmaite | Used in late game high-multiplier recipes | Trait boosts when combined well |
Damage-Oriented Armor recipes
Armor in The Forge is RNG-based, but some common combinations trend toward high damage boosts, vitality, and strong traits.
Below are widely-used crafting mixes that many players aim for — these don’t guarantee specific armor pieces, but they stack high multipliers and good stats when forged at high total ore counts (e.g., 30–40+ ores).
| Recipe Mix | Typical Traits | Outcome Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Obsidian, 10 Mythril, 10 Uranium, 10 Eye Ore | Vitality, AoE damage, weapon damage | High chance for Heavy Chestplate, strong multi-trait armor |
