Countdown to The Forge New Cave Update
The countdown is already ticking down to the New Cave Update release. You have just a few days left to prepare before the new content drops. Use this time wisely by grinding levels (because you don’t know if the cave will have level requirements), upgrading your pickaxe, making your weapons and armors stronger, plus stacking up your in-game currency.
Here is the countdown until the event is live:
What to Expect
The Cave Update is bringing mysterious new content to The Forge, and while the developers are keeping most details secret, here’s what we know so far:
- New Cave Location: The teaser image shows a cave with red glowing elements in the background. There are a few possible locations where this cave might appear. One spot is near the Frostpire Expanse entrance, where you can already see a red glow and what looks like a pickaxe waiting inside. Another possibility is up near the spider cave area, where there’s an unexplored cave entrance that could be expanded in this update.
- Mysterious Symbols: The developers posted a teaser showing strange letters and symbols inside what appears to be a cave interior. The same cryptic message appears both in the Discord announcement and on the Roblox event description. Nobody knows what these symbols mean yet, but they’re clearly hinting at something important coming to the game.
- New NPCs and Quests: Based on leaked images, there will be NPCs inside the cave that you can interact with and most likely give you new quests to complete.
- Free Reroll Code: Use the code HAPPYNEWYEAR right now to get 10 free rerolls. This code only works until the Cave Update goes live, so redeem it immediately.
The Forge drops a new code almost every weekend with their updates. Once the HAPPYNEWYEAR code expires, there’s a good chance we’ll get a brand new code when the Cave Update launches. Keep your eyes on the announcements so you don’t miss it.
