All Ores in The Forge – Complete Ore Guide [Island 3]

Updated on December 26, 2025: Added all Island 3 Frostpire Expanse ores including the Spider Cave ores, The Peak ores, Mosasaursit and how to get the Prismatic Pickaxe.

I’ll show you all the Ores in The Forge as well as their stats, how to reach their locations and what pickaxes to use to mine them. I’ll also be listing special traits every Ore for creating equipment. Here are all Ores in The Forge and my complete Ore guide.

The Forge Ore Guide

Below I’ll list all ores in The Forge sorted by location and rarity but first let’s explain Ore stats. Each Ore has its stats like multipliers, rock nodes they drop from and traits. Here’s what all Ore stats mean:

• Rarity: Lower rarity Ores usually appear only in low-tier Rocks/Nodes in the world while high rarity Ores usually appear only in the high-tier Rocks/Nodes (Example: Stone-Common appears only in Pebbles and not Boulders while Aite-Epic appears only in Boulders and not Pebbles). Also, since higher rarity ores give better multipliers you need to have more higher rarity ores than lower ones for the higher rarity buffs to work.
• Drop Chance: The chance that you will get this specific ore when you mine the rock node from which it drops.
• Rock/Node (Drops From): What type of rock node drops this ore when you mine it (Example: Platinum only drops from Boulder rock nodes).
• Multiplier: How much an Ore multiplies the value/strength of the crafted item. The final multiplier will be the sum of all multipliers from all ores you put in divided by the number of ores. As for stacking more Ores, this just increases the size of the item like dagger>sword>greatsword or helmet>leggings>chest.
• Price: How much gold you get when you sell it at Greedy Cey/Shop.
• Trait: A special ability weapons or armor get when you craft them using this ore. You need at least 10% of the Ore when forging among all the Ores you’re including. You can mix Ores to have multiple traits

Each ore will have all of these stats below and now that you know what all of them mean let’s dive into the Ore list. Remember to equip as many Mining Shard runes on your pickaxe as you can.

Best Pickaxe Progression: Cobalt – Mythril – Arcane – Aqua – Snow – Prismatic

If you have Demonic going into Island 3, skip to Snow

All Goblin Cave Ores in The Forge [World 2]

The Forge Goblin Cave is a special area in World 2 Forgotten Kingdom and the entrance is to the right of the Goblin King. My video above will show you how to reach the Goblin King. From there you have to complete a 5-part quest that’s basically about giving him a total of 85.000 gold and he’ll give you the key for the Goblin Caves. The cave entrance is to the right of the Goblin King. Here are all the ores in the Goblin Caves.

Pickaxes required for Crystals/Goblin Cave: Demonite Pickaxe, Arcane Pickaxe, Magma Pickaxe, Lightite Pickaxe, Mythril Pickaxe.

All Frostpire Expanse Ores in The Forge [World 3]

You’ll need to reach Level 70 before you can enter Island 3 Frostpire Expanse. The list below will focus on the Spider Cave where you can find Icy Pebble, Icy Rock and Icy Boulder. I’ll list Mosasaursit and The Peak ores below in a separate list since it’s focused on various Ice Crystals not found in the Spider Cave. Note that the Arcane Pickaxe will only mine the Icy Pebbles and you’ll need either the Demonite or one of the Island 3 pickaxes for Icy Rocks and above.

Rushing the Snow Pickaxe for $750.000 is your best bet with the Goblin Race since it’ll mine everything and also allow you to get Mosasaursite & Prismatic Pickaxe.

Also note that some of these Spider Cave Ores can also drop in The Peak via Ice Crystals.

All The Peak Ores in The Forge [World 3]

The Peak is right above the town area on Island 3 which you can reach by going up the walkway to the right of Bjorn the quest giver. Inside of The Peak cave are Small, Medium, Large and Floating Ice Crystals as well as all the late-game enemies and the Golem Boss. I recommend at least the Snow Pickaxe for this area and remember to use the Goblin Race for a discount.

Rushing the Snow Pickaxe for $750.000 is your best bet with the Goblin Race since it’ll mine everything and also allow you to get Mosasaursite & Prismatic Pickaxe.

Also note that some Spider Cave Ores reappear in The Peak since some drop from Ice Crystals.

Mosasaursit Ore & Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge [World 3]

Mosasaursit is a special ore needed for the Prismatic Pickaxe that is found by diving into the hole at the frozen lake at the other side of Island 3. Follow the picture and video above to reach the frozen lake, dive into the hole and keeping swimming down to the bottom. There’ll be a massive ice wall that you can mine for Mosasaursit and you need 320 Pickaxe strength so the Snow Pickaxe for $750.000 is your best bet. Mosasaursit is used to unlock the Prismatic Pickaxe which is behind the wall where you need 1 Mosasaursit and enough cash to get it (Use Goblin Race for a massive discount).

Mosasaursit has a 7x multiplier, a guaranteed drop from the ice wall you mine it from and the following traits:

-25% Swiftness
+65% Vitality

That’s it for my all Ores in The Forge guide with locations and pickaxe requirements. Check out our The Forge codes for free goodies. Also, with all these Ore combinations in mind here’s a weapon tier list for the game.

ARC Performance Steel is one of the hardest items to find in ARC Raiders, as you’ll have to take down specific enemies.

Unlike most items in ARC Raiders, ARC Performance Steel can’t be obtained from looting containers or other areas. Instead, you can only obtain the item after taking down certain ARC enemies that you can come across on any map.

This guide will help you pinpoint which ARCs you should take down to gain ARC Performance Steel.

Best way to get ARC Performance Steel in ARC Raiders

To find ARC Performance Steel, you’ll need to take down any of the following ARCs.

• Leaper
• Bastion
• Bombardier
• The Queen
• Matriarch
• ARC Probes

Barring the last one, all five ARCs mentioned on the list are dangerous enemies that you should be extremely careful about. Here’s where you can find these heavy ARCs.

Leaper

• Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Red Lakes Balcony, Red Lakes
• Buried City: Buried Properties, Plaza Rosa
• Spaceport: Launch Towers, Arrival and Departure Buildings
• Blue Gate: Warehouse Complex, Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade

Bastion

• Dam Battlegrounds: Hydrophonic Complex
• Buried City: Market Ruins, Library, Piazza Arbusto
• Spaceport: Arrival and Departure Buildings, Container Storage, Fuel Lines
• Blue Gate: Checkpoint, Outer Gates

Bombardier

• Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Primary Facility
• Buried City: Marano Park, Main Street
• Spaceport: Vehicle Maintenance, Arrival Building, South Trench Tower, Container Storage
• Blue Gate: Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade, Raider’s Refuge

The Queen

• Dam Battlegrounds: Red Lakes
• Spaceport: Staff Parking
• Blue Gate: Middle of Checkpoint and Trapper’s Glade

Matriarch

• Dam Battlegrounds: The Breach
• Spaceport: Launch Towers
• Blue Gate: Headhouse

The Queen and Matriarch will only spawn under specific map conditions. While the Matriarch has its own special map condition, The Queen only spawns during a Harvester map condition.

The rest of the ARCs can spawn in areas that aren’t mentioned here. However, I have listed the spots where I have almost always encountered them on raids. Taking them down will almost guarantee an ARC Performance Steel.

If you don’t want to take the risks, you can always try your luck with ARC Probes. You’ll occasionally come across them during raids. However, opening an ARC Probe doesn’t guarantee you a Performance Steel, so you might need to find several of them.
