How To Recycle Ores In The Forge

Players can recycle ores in The Forge by talking to the Marbles NPC or the Wo NPC.
To recycle, players need to pay the sell value of the weapon or armor.
Recycling gives players 50% of the amount of ore used to craft a weapon or armor.

The latest update in The Forge introduced plenty of QOL changes. One of them is the new mechanism that allows you to recycle ores. You can recycle your choice of equipment to get the ores back. This can be useful to recycle those rare ores that are hard to find. In this guide, we have explained how you can recycle ores in The Forge and shared some tips to maximize this new mechanism.

How Can You Recycle Ores in The Forge

Players can recycle ores in The Forge by talking to the Marbles NPC in the Stonewake’s Cross or the Wo NPC in the Forgotten Kingdom and Frostspire Expanse . These are the major locations in The Forge , where you can sell crafted equipment or recycle it.

You can only recycle your crafted armors and weapons. And doing so will return you half the amount of ores used to craft that equipment. For example, if you have crafted a Straight Sword using six ores (2 Yeti Heart , 2 Void Star, 2 Snowite), you’ll get 3 of them back (1 Yeti Heart, 1 Void Star, 1 Snowite). However, if you are recycling equipment in which you have used one ore of each rarity; you’ll get back all the ores you’ve used. This happens only when you’re recycling Daggers, which typically require three ores.

You’ll also need to spend a certain amount of money in order to recycle your desired equipment and get its ores. The amount of money needed depends on the selling value of the piece. The rarer the armor recipe or weapon recipe, the more money you need to recycle the ores. Lastly, don’t forget to free some bag space when recycling ores in The Forge. If your storage is full, you won’t receive the ores you’ve recycled.

Should You Recycle Ores in The Forge?

Yes, you should definitely recycle your ores in The Forge. This can be very useful to get back the Mythic, Relic, and Divine rarity ores, which you’ve used to craft weapons and armors . We recommend that you always recycle your weapons that you don’t need anymore instead of selling them.

Weapons like Straight Sword, Gauntlets, Spears, and Axes don’t yield a lot of money, so selling them isn’t worth it. This means you need less money to recycle them. These weapons often require some of the rarest ores to craft, which increases their damage by a lot. However, due to the sheer amount of RNG, you might not end up getting the weapon you want. Instead of storing or selling them, it’s better to recycle the ores.

On the other hand, getting armors are pretty easy as there are only a few types of the best ones. Given that you are going for Heavy Armors, they yield a lot of money when sold. Hence, you also require a lot of money to recycle them.

If you are a late-game player, then recycling might be your best option, as you might know how to make money fast in The Forge . But for early to mid-game players, it’s better if you avoid recycling ores until you’ve reached the late-game and obtained one of the best pickaxes.

That’s all you need to know about recycling ores in The Forge. Which weapon and armor did you recycle? Comment down the recipe below.
