This Roblox mining game update introduces a new locked area, a powerful new pickaxe, possible quest requirements, and returning NPCs. Players should prepare at least a few million currency, avoid rushing expensive pickaxes, and finish key quests before the update goes live.
I spent time watching a full pre-update livestream where the creator tested bosses, discussed leaks, showed NPC locations, and answered real player questions. Once everything is filtered down, there are some very important takeaways that can save you a lot of time and money.
This post explains what the update adds, how much currency you really need, and what mistakes to avoid before the update drops.
This update is not just a small balance patch. It appears to be a progression gate update.
From what I saw:
This means preparation matters more than raw grinding.
To unlock the new cave you have to complete Raven quest
The Raven will sit near the Excalibur camp in The Forge Frostspire Expanse. Go to the right of the Spider Cave to find it.
After completing the quest, you will unlock the Raven Helmet recipe, and the Raven will switch its location.
After Raven 1 quest completion, you will find it in front of the locked Red Cave.
After completing the quest, you will unlock the Raven Chestplate recipe, and the Raven will give you the Red Cave key in The Forge. Once you get the key you can unlock the new cave.
Once you get the Red Cave key you’ll unlock the cave. Then you have to find the bush at the end of the cave. Then go behind the bush & you’ll find 3 new NPC.
Once you complete these 3 NPC quest you can buy Dragon Head Pickaxe.
One of the biggest questions was how much money players need.
Based on discussion and testing:
The update appears to bring back or introduce:
Some NPCs may require payment or item turn-ins, so keeping extra currency and materials is smart.
If you are around mid game, this is what I would focus on:
Mid-game players benefit the most from updates like this if they prepare properly.
These are mistakes I would avoid:
Updates reward patience more than impulse decisions.
The Forge New Cave Update adds a new locked cave area with stronger ores, higher progression requirements, and new tools designed for mid and late game players.
To unlock the new cave, players likely need to complete specific quests, reach a progression milestone, and possibly interact with new NPCs near the cave entrance.
No. The new cave is designed for players who have already progressed through earlier zones and upgraded their tools.
Yes. The new cave is expected to include higher value ores that offer better rewards compared to previous mining zones.
The Dragon Head Pickaxe is a powerful new tool introduced in the Forge update that offers higher mining speed and improved efficiency compared to previous pickaxes.
The Dragon Head Pickaxe is cost around 2.7 million currency, though additional costs or requirements may apply.
The lates code is Raven. It will give 150 Xmas tickets & 5 race rerolls.
This update looks like a foundation update, not just a content drop. It is setting up future progression, new tools, and new areas.
From everything I saw, the smartest move right now is simple. Save your currency, finish your quests, and wait before making big purchases. Players who prepare will move ahead quickly, while rushed players may feel stuck.
