How to Get the Best Pickaxe Early in The Forge (Island 3 Update)

If you have just unlocked the Frostspire Expanse (Island 3) in The Forge, you already know that your old Island 2 tools are practically useless. The new ice rocks and crystal boulders have massive health pools, and mining them with a basic Cobalt or Titanium pickaxe will take forever.

To dominate the new update, you need to skip the incremental upgrades and rush the new endgame tools: the Prismatic Pickaxe and the Heavenite Pickaxe.

Here is the exact strategy to bypass the early Island 3 grind and secure the best pickaxes in the game as fast as possible.

1. Maximize Your Island 2 Loadout First

Do not step through the portal to the Frostspire Expanse if you are under-geared. The enemies hit harder, and the base mining damage required just to break the starter ice is significantly higher.

Before leaving the Forgotten Kingdom (Island 2), you must have one of the late-game pickaxes equipped:

• The Demonic Pickaxe: Costs $500,000 and requires you to either use the Demon race’s dash or glitch your portal to access its locked room in the Volcanic Depths. It provides a massive 175 Mining Power.
• The Arcane Pickaxe: Costs $125,000 and is hidden behind the locked gate in the Fallen Angels Cave. It gives you a +50% Luck Boost, which is vital for the Island 3 grind.

2. Prepare Your Wallet for the 3.5 Million Gold Grind

The new undisputed king of the Island 3 update is the Heavenite Pickaxe (often paired with the Angelic Pickaxe). However, it comes with an absolutely massive price tag.

You will need 3.5 million gold to purchase the Heavenite Pickaxe.

• The Early Setup: Do not wait until you reach the endgame of Island 3 to start saving. Use your high-luck Arcane Pickaxe in the Volcanic Depths of Island 2 to farm high-value ores. Sell everything you don’t absolutely need for crafting until your bankroll is sitting comfortably near that 3.5 million mark.

3. Find the Secret Prismatic Pickaxe Location

If you want a massive power spike immediately upon entering Island 3, you don’t actually have to progress deep into the new caves to find a top-tier tool.

There is a secret shop location dedicated to the Prismatic Pickaxe.

• Where to look: Instead of following the main path into the village or heading straight for the Golem or Yeti bosses, explore the opening ice area just outside the main village. The Prismatic Pickaxe can be purchased here secretly before you even begin the main Frostspire questlines.

4. Skip the Minor Island 3 Tools

A massive mistake players make is spending their hard-earned gold on the first few mid-tier pickaxes they find in the Frostspire Expanse.

Every time you buy a minor upgrade, you reset your progress toward the Heavenite Pickaxe. Rely entirely on your Demonic Pickaxe (for raw power) or your Arcane Pickaxe (for luck) until you can afford the Prismatic or Heavenite options.

5. Farm the Right Enemies for Cash

If you find yourself short on the 3.5 million gold required for Heavenite, you need to optimize your combat farming. Island 3 introduces new, highly profitable mobs.

Target the Crystal Spiders and Diamond Spiders for consistent drops.

If you have a strong team, farm the Elite Orcs or the new Golem boss. Avoid soloing the Yeti unless your combat parries are flawless, as their massive health pools will slow down your gold-per-hour rate.
