What to Know
- It will be possible to recycle weapons and armor, but not blueprints or consumables.
- Recycling is expected to return 50% of the ores (such as Gargantuan, Heavenite, etc.) used to craft the item.
- Implementing recycling aims to reduce wasted resources and ease the frustration of unpredictable RNG in forging.
Recycling in The Forge (Roblox) is an upcoming feature designed to help players reclaim part of the ores spent on crafting weapons and armor. Announced by the developers and currently in development, this system aims to reduce RNG frustration and make upgrading gear more resource-efficient.
How to Recycle weapons and armor in The Forge
Step 1: Reach Frostspire Expanse
Recycling items has been released recently in the new The Forge update. It takes place in the central hub of the Frostspire Expanse. You need to look for Wo, who is the owner of the Recycle Station.
In your equipment tab of the game, you can also see a “Recycle Items” option for weapons and armor.
Step 2: Interact with the NPC Wo
Wo is a new NPC in The Forge Roblox. He sits near the forge station in Frostspire Expanse. All you have to do is talk to Wo and request the recycle.
Step 3: Select items to recycle
You can now select the items you want to recycle.
Upon selection and confirmation, you can receive back ores, totems, and runes you used for that particular weapon or armor crafting.
And that is it! This new recycling update is actually better than the selling option, which was in the game before. It definitely returns what you invested, even if the ratio is around 50%-75%.
Why recycling is a game-changer for The Forge
Before this update, unwanted weapons and armor were mostly useless. Players could only sell them for small amounts of in-game currency, which rarely matched the true investment of rare ores and materials.
With recycling:
- Players can recover valuable crafting resources
- Mistakes in forging are less punishing
- Trying new builds becomes easier
- RNG-based crafting feels less frustrating
This makes progression in The Forge far more forgiving and player-friendly.
Recycling limitations to keep in mind
While recycling is a great addition, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- As of now, only weapons and armor can be recycled
- Blueprints, consumables, and event items cannot be recycled
- You will not receive 100% of materials back – only a partial refund
- Once an item is recycled, it is permanently destroyed
So always double-check before recycling rare or hard-to-get gear!
Pro Tips for Smart Recycling
The recycling feature in The Forge Roblox is one of the most useful quality-of-life updates the game has received. It helps players experiment more freely, reduces wasted resources, and makes progression smoother overall.
If you’ve been holding onto useless weapons and armor, now is the perfect time to visit Wo in Frostspire Expanse and turn them back into valuable materials!
To get the most out of the system, keep these tips in mind:
- Recycle duplicate or low-roll items instead of keeping them
- Use recycling to recover materials from failed crafting attempts
- Save high-tier gear unless you truly don’t need it
- Focus on recycling items made with expensive ores like Heavenite
- Avoid recycling items you might want for trading later
Recycling is best used as a way to fix bad RNG luck and reclaim materials for future attempts.
