At the base of the volcano in the Forgotten Kingdom in The Forge, the Goblin King waits for a brave adventurer who’s as generous with their wallet as their time.
To fulfil the Goblin King’s request, you will need to fork over a King’s ransom in gold, as well as collect a number of rare gems and minerals from the depths of the volcano itself.
However, similar to other quests you might have taken on in other areas of The Forge, the reward is worth it if you’re interested in seeing all there is to see in the dark and smoky depths of the Forgotten Kingdom’s Volcano.
The Forge Goblin King Quest Walkthrough
To begin the Goblin King’s quest, you need to speak with him in the Forgotten Kingdom zone of The Forge.
To find him, go past the town forge in the middle of the town and continue on the road past the Runemaker and Enhancer.
The Goblin King’s compound will be on your right.
If you hit the docks where you find the Fisher, you’ve gone too far.
Next, speak to the Goblin King and offer your services. He will ask you for a bounty of gold to further his secretive plans, but won’t divulge what his true intentions are, or what you get for helping him.
If you want to continue helping the Goblin King, there are five steps to completing his quest:
- Step 1: Hand over 5000 gold to the Goblin King
- Step 2: Hand over 10000 gold and collect 3 Topaz
- Step 3: Hand over 15000 gold and collect 5 Diamonds
- Step 4: Hand over 20000 gold and collect 5 Emeralds
- Step 5: Hand over 25000 gold and collect 5 Rubies
For the chance to collect Topaz, Diamonds, Emeralds and Rubies, you can refer to our page listing the entire The Forge Index. But all of them can be obtained from inside the Ruined Cave inside of Basalt Cores and Veins.
These require mining strength of 36 and 78 respectively, so sit in the mid-game and can’t be mined by low level players.
Topaz and Diamonds are just Rare gems, so shouldn’t take too much effort to find. However, Emeralds and Rubies are both Epic so could pose more of a problem.
The biggest problem though is the absolute pile of gold the Goblin King wants, totalling a whopping 75000, which is half way to affording one of the best pickaxes in the game!
However, like many Roblox experiences, your answer here is simply grinding and playing the game, crafting quality items and selling them off.
The Forge Goblin King Quest Rewards
The question most players will have though is whether handing over all of this gold to the Goblin King is worth it?
As a reward, in return for your generous donations and considerable effort, the Goblin King hands over the key to the Goblin Cave, which is through the door behind him.
This is a unique late-game area which is home to not just exclusive Crystal ores, but is a good place to fight Slimes too. Slimes drop Slimite, which is similar to the Boneite and Dark Boneite dropped by Skeleton enemies and can be a useful ingredient to mix into your crafting recipes.
However, whether completing the Goblin King’s quest is worth it for you will be up to where you are in your progression towards the best pickaxes in The Forge.
If you’ve already got the Arcane Pickaxe from the secret room after returning the Bard’s lost guitar, then you can safely say that you’re in a good spot for the late-game grind and don’t really need to save up for the Demonic Pickaxe.
But if you’re still working your way up to the end of the current content in The Forge, then the Goblin King’s quest is undoubtedly a waste of your time and hard-earned money.
Don’t go to the trouble of completing a couple of steps only to run out of cash. Focus on your progression first, then return to the Goblin King once you’ve seen everything else and got the best value pickaxe.
And if you want some help getting there, be sure to make use of the free rerolls and Luck Totem offered by the game’s developers via The Forge codes, which you can enter in the settings menu to get extra items.
