The Forge Extra Luck Weekend start time, end date, and what’s in the update

The Forge is getting its first big global event with the Extra Luck Weekend, a limited-time update that doubles luck on mining and enemy drops and throws in free Race rerolls. The event is designed as a short, dense window to farm rare ores, grab upgrade materials, and experiment with new builds without changing the core loop of mining and combat.

The Forge Extra Luck Weekend start time and duration

The Extra Luck Weekend begins on Saturday, December 6, 2025, with the main reference time of 10:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM PST. From there, the bonus runs as a 48‑hour weekend event, ending on Monday, December 8, 2025 at the same hour in each listed zone.

In practical terms, that means:

The in‑game event is presented as “The Forge Weekend!” and runs as a one‑off schedule rather than a repeating weekly modifier.

What the Extra Luck Weekend update adds

The Extra Luck Weekend combines a timed event with a regular content update. The core pillars are:

• 2x luck on drops across mining nodes and enemy loot, making rare ores and materials significantly more common during the window.
• Free Race reroll codes, including the time‑limited PEAK! code that grants 10 free rerolls once it activates on the weekend.
• New enemies and locations, including a winter‑themed point of interest and a new area tucked into the Volcanic Depths.
• More quests and secrets, expanding the set of objectives and hidden interactions spread across regions such as the Forgotten Kingdom.

Outside the event, the game’s recent update stream has focused on stability: optimization work for low‑graphics devices, fixes for Forge Anywhere, and patches for item duplication exploits. Smaller UX changes, like confirmation prompts on Legendary and Mythical rerolls and tweaks to Rune visual effects, are also already in place.

How the 2x luck modifier works

Luck in The Forge does not change how fast you hit or how hard you mine. Instead, it changes what you get for doing the same work. During Extra Luck Weekend:

• Mining the same ore nodes has a higher chance to yield rare ores instead of common ones.
• Defeating enemies has an increased chance to drop high‑tier materials like Runes and Essence.
• Existing power stats on your pickaxe and gear stay the same; only the quality and rarity of rewards shift.

The net effect is that tasks that normally feel grindy — such as chasing a specific ore for a late‑game weapon recipe — compress into a two‑day window where those targets are more realistically obtainable without changing your route or playstyle.

Best ores to target during Extra Luck Weekend

The event is tuned around three rare ores that are usually painful to farm:

• Lightite – a high‑value ore that feeds into advanced recipes.
• Demonite – commonly tied to more combat‑focused gear.
• Magmite – a late‑game resource that normally has a low appearance rate.

The 2x luck modifier raises their effective spawn or drop chance during the weekend. That makes this event the most efficient time to stockpile all three ores, especially if you plan to craft multiple high‑tier weapons or armors that draw from the same rare pool.

Best location: Volcanic Depths

Volcanic Depths is the central farming hub for Extra Luck Weekend. It layers several advantages:

• Dense ore node distribution, so you spend less time moving and more time mining.
• Access to the high‑value ores headlining the event, including Lightite, Demonite, and Magmite.
• High‑level enemies that can drop Runes and Essence while you rotate between nodes.

The trade‑off is difficulty. Enemies in Volcanic Depths deal more damage than most other regions. Trying to rush in with early‑game armor or no healing slows you down with frequent deaths and long corpse runs, wasting the limited event clock.

Tip: If Volcanic Depths still feels out of reach, treat the first hours of the event as a gearing checkpoint in safer regions, then move into Volcanic Depths once your armor and skills catch up.

Recommended tools and gear for the event

Pickaxe tier is the main gating factor for how much value you can pull from Extra Luck Weekend.

• Mythril Pickaxe (mid‑game) – effectively the baseline for Volcanic Depths. Lower‑tier tools can technically break nodes there but slow you down enough that you lose a lot of event time to mining bars.
• Arcane Pickaxe (late‑game) – the preferred option if you already have it. Faster node break times line up well with the increased rare drop rates, letting you cycle through ore much more aggressively.

On the defensive side, you want:

• Sturdy armor appropriate for Volcanic Depths, ideally pulling from higher‑tier recipes unlocked before the event.
• A stock of healing items so you can chain combat and mining without breaking your rhythm to reset in town.

Because luck doesn’t change your damage, raw survivability and pickaxe efficiency are what translate the luck bonus into actual gains.

Event codes and free Race rerolls

The Extra Luck Weekend also layers in event‑exclusive codes that focus on Race rerolls. The key ones are:

• PEAK! – time‑gated to activate on the weekend and grants 10 free rerolls.
• 400K! – another active code that grants 8 free rerolls.

Rerolls let you chase better Races or re‑optimize around new build ideas unlocked as you craft new gear during the event. Because rerolls are normally a premium resource, 18 free uses in the same weekend is an unusually generous opportunity to settle on a long‑term Race.

To redeem a code, use the in‑game settings flow:

Step 1: Launch The Forge on Roblox and load into the main play session.

Step 2: Click the Settings button in the top‑left corner of the screen to open the settings menu.

Step 3: Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings panel until you see the Codes input bar.

Step 4: Type the code exactly as written (including punctuation and capitalization) into the bar.

Step 5: Press the Claim button and wait for the confirmation that your rerolls have been added.

Note: Codes in The Forge expire quickly. Event‑tied codes like PEAK! are intended to be redeemed during the active weekend, not stockpiled indefinitely.

How to structure your time during Extra Luck Weekend

Because the event is a fixed two‑day window, planning is as important as raw grinding. A simple, practical loop looks like this:

• Early event: Use initial hours to clear key quests, especially from NPCs like Sensei Moro and Captain Rowan, while you warm up your routes and top off XP.
• Core window: Once you’re comfortable in Volcanic Depths with a Mythril or Arcane Pickaxe, settle into a rotation of mining dense ore pockets and clearing nearby enemy packs.
• Late event: Spend the tail end of the weekend refining your build: use collected Runes and Essence for upgrades, then spend your remaining Race rerolls chasing the Race you want for long‑term play.

That structure keeps your inventory filled with Lightite, Demonite, Magmite, Runes, and Essence while also moving your account forward in quests and character growth, instead of just stockpiling raw ore.

The Extra Luck Weekend is short enough that missing it means waiting for an undefined future rerun, but long enough to radically shift your ore and material stock if you can play through even a portion of the 48‑hour window. Knowing the exact global start time and focusing on Volcanic Depths with the right tools and codes is what turns that boost into tangible progress.
