Stonewake’s Cross is the starting region in The Forge and the foundation of early mining progression. This area introduces players to core mechanics such as ore multipliers, rarity tiers, drop chances, and forging composition.
If you are searching for Stonewake’s Cross ores, ore multipliers, or beginner farming strategies, this page covers the full regional breakdown.
| Ore Name | Appearance | Rarity | Chance | Multiplier | Price | Trait | Rocks | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stone |  |
Common | 1/1 | 0.2x | 3$ | None | Pebble | It’s a rock. What more do you want? |
| Sand Stone |  |
Common | 1/2 | 0.25x | 3.75$ | None | Pebble, Rock | Crumbly yet sturdy enough to build with. Not great in water. |
| Copper |  |
Common | 1/3 | 0.3x | 4.5$ | None | Pebble, Rock, Boulder | Basic but dependable. A beginner’s best friend in the forge. |
| Iron |  |
Common | 1/5 | 0.35x | 5.25$ | None | Pebble, Rock, Boulder | The workhorse of the forge. Reliable, versatile and a classic choice. |
| Tin |  |
Uncommon | 1/7 | 0.425x | 6.38$ | None | Rock, Boulder | Weak on its own, but blends beautifully with others. |
| Silver |  |
Uncommon | 1/12 | 0.5x | 7.5$ | None | Rock, Boulder, basalt Rock | Malleable and pure. Naturally anti-curse, anti-werewolf, anti-everything-bad. |
| Gold |  |
Uncommon | 1/16 | 0.65x | 19.5$ | None | Boulder, basalt Rock | Not the strongest, but hey–it’s gold. Fancy never goes out of style. |
| Mushroomite |  |
Rare | 1/22 | 0.8x | 12$ | None | Rock, Boulder | Grows in damp places. Sometimes glows. Sometimes talks. Probably fine. |
| Platinum |  |
Rare | 1/28 | 0.8x | 12$ | None | Boulder, basalt Rock | Smooth, silvery, and highly conductive. Rare and sought-after. |
| Bananite |  |
Uncommon | 1/30 | 0.85x | 12.75$ | None | Rock, Boulder | Yellow, slippery, looks and smells like banana yet surprisingly durable. |
| Cardboardite |  |
Common | 1/31 | 0.7x | 10.5$ | None | Rock, Boulder | Looks like trash, feels like trash… but somehow incredibly useful. |
| Aite |  |
Epic | 1/44 | 1.1x | 16.5$ | None | Boulder | It’s an ore made out of A’s – but actually lightweight and razor sharp. |
| Poopite |  |
Epic | 1/131 | 1.2x | 18$ | When below 35% HP, makes enemies flee and spawns an AoE Poison Cloud, dealing 15% of weapon damage per second for 5 seconds. (Armor) | Pebble, Rock, Boulder | Ew. Why is this even mineable? Smells awful, but apparently makes great fertilizer-fused armor. |
| Fichillium |  |
Relic | 1/1 | 0x | 0 | None | Lucky Block | PLAY ABYSS! |
Overview
-
Region Type: Early Game
-
Difficulty Level: Beginner
-
Recommended Power: Starter equipment
-
Primary Purpose: Early leveling, material farming, multiplier introduction
Stonewake’s Cross is designed to teach mining fundamentals while providing stable access to low-tier and early mid-tier ores. It is the first major source of multiplier-based progression.
Ores Found in Stonewake’s Cross
The following ores can be obtained in this region:
-
Stone
-
Copper
-
Iron
-
Silver
-
Gold
-
Aite
-
Poopite
These ores range from basic low-multiplier materials to early Epic-tier drops.
Multiplier Range
Stonewake’s Cross ores typically fall within:
0.2x – 1.2x multiplier scaling
This makes the region ideal for:
-
Learning forge composition
-
Testing hybrid builds
-
Building early DPS foundations
Mining Environment
Stonewake’s Cross contains standard surface rocks and beginner-tier ore nodes.
Key characteristics:
-
High spawn density
-
Fast respawn cycles
-
Low enemy interference
-
Consistent drop rates
This allows new players to experiment without high-risk farming.
Best Ores in Stonewake’s Cross
For Early DPS
Iron and Silver provide stable early scaling.
For Multiplier Boost
Aite offers one of the highest multipliers available in the starter region.
For Trait Testing
Poopite introduces early trait-based mechanics such as poison effects.
Recommended Farming Strategy
1. Focus on Density Over Rarity
Because this is an early region, efficiency matters more than rare drops.
2. Use Balanced Composition
A mixture of mid-tier and slightly higher-tier ores provides stable scaling.
Example beginner forge mix:
-
60% Iron
-
30% Silver
-
10% Aite
This improves damage output without sacrificing stability.
3. Upgrade Luck Early
Luck increases the chance of Epic-tier ores such as Aite or Poopite.
Progression Role
Stonewake’s Cross acts as:
-
The training ground for new players
-
The foundation for multiplier understanding
-
The first stepping stone toward mid-game regions like Forgotten Kingdom
Players typically transition out of this region once their forged gear exceeds early multiplier thresholds.
When to Leave Stonewake’s Cross
You should consider moving to the next region when:
-
Your average multiplier exceeds 1.0x
-
Mining efficiency plateaus
-
Rare ore drop improvements become minimal
-
Combat becomes trivial
At this point, mid-game regions offer better scaling potential.
Comparison to Other Regions
Compared to later zones:
-
Lower maximum multiplier
-
Safer farming
-
Lower risk
-
Faster but less profitable long-term growth
Stonewake’s Cross prioritizes accessibility over peak scaling.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the strongest ore in Stonewake’s Cross?
Aite has the highest base multiplier in this region.
Is Stonewake’s Cross good for farming gold?
Yes for beginners, but mid-game regions outperform it significantly.
Are there Mythical ores here?
No. Higher-tier ores are exclusive to advanced regions.
Final Notes
Stonewake’s Cross is more than a starter zone—it establishes the mathematical foundation of forging in The Forge. Mastering ore composition and multiplier scaling here prepares players for higher-risk, higher-reward regions later in the game.
