The Forge Roblox Island 4 Pre Update Guide
Why Prepare for Island 4
The new island, called Crimson Sakura Isles, has tougher enemies and special ores with red horns and giant shapes. Players need high levels, good gear, and saved resources to mine new materials and fight mobs. Preparation helps you start strong when the update comes. Without it, old tools may not work well. New systems like RNG-locked crafting mean you must have strong bases now to succeed later.
Best Pickaxe Builds
Pickaxes help mine ores faster, which is key for Island 4. Use these materials to craft a powerful one: Surrifall, two pieces of Duranite or Etherite, ores with high multipliers, one Ice, and one Golem heart. Add a Frozen rune to make the ability stronger. Aim for 0.4 to 0.5 attack speed and 300 to 400 damage. Enhance it to level 6 with two more runes, like Frozen ones, so enemies freeze when hit. This build works well on Island 3 and carries over to new ores. Test different hearts like Gargantuan for extra power if available.
Strong Weapons and Armor
Weapons and armor protect you from Island 4 enemies that grow stronger over time. Build weapons with Surrifall, high-multiplier ores, Ice, and hearts for high damage. For armor, use Ethrolyte or Midame sets. Replace Duranite with Surrifall if you can. Enhance all items to level 6. Add drain runes for health and mining runes for better digging. These keep you safe while exploring new caves and fighting bosses. Consider gauntlets or swords for close combat against evolving mobs.
How to Earn Money
Money buys new blueprints and items after the update. Fight bosses every 30 minutes for rewards. Mine valuable ores like Icy Pebbles and sell them. Visit the maze shop to buy Fungi potions when they restock. They help farm without spending Robux. Save all gold for over 40 new items on Island 4. If you have time, set up an AFK spot on high-value ores to build cash over hours. Sell excess common ores to merchants for steady income.
Complete Quests
Quests give experience points to reach high levels, like level 200, needed for Island 4. Finish every quest you have now so you can focus on new content. They also provide extra resources. High levels let you enter the island fast and handle its challenges. Do not skip this step. It builds a strong base. Check daily and weekly quests for bonus XP.
What to Avoid
Certain actions waste resources before the update. Do not craft old items like Raven armor that become useless. Avoid bad recycles or upgrades on rare ores. The new recycle system gives back only 50% and tracks old crafts poorly. Stop grinding slow methods. Focus on bosses and quests instead. Hold off on changing races until you see the new meta. These mistakes can set you back when Island 4 starts. Do not spend on low-value shop items now.
Island 4 Changes
The Island 4 update adds a recycle system, RNG locks for crafting, and mob drops that replace cash buys. Expect new pickaxes that need multiple ore types and fixes to Island 3 problems like too much power growth. Stronger NPCs will drop better gear. Stockpile now to take advantage early, before other players catch up. Over 40 new ores and blueprints await, plus evolving bosses that scale with player power.
