The Arcane Pickaxe is one of the most valuable tools for resource collection in The Forge Roblox, enabling faster mining and access to higher-tier materials. However, it can only be acquired by using the Unknown Key, a rare quest-related item tied to a locked structure in the map. Understanding where the key comes from and how to use it ensures you unlock the pickaxe with no wasted steps.
