Totems are one of the strongest accelerators in Roblox’s The Forge. They compress hours of grinding into a few focused minutes, whether you are chasing levels, hunting rare ores, or trying to survive in higher-level zones. They are also tightly controlled: you cannot loot or craft them, and every use is a one-time consumable.
What Totems are in The Forge
The Forge currently has five distinct Totems. Each one is a consumable object you drop on the ground to create a large area-of-effect buff. Three Totems are short, five-minute boosts aimed at grinding, and two are 30-minute buffs designed for long combat or exploration sessions.
| Totem | Primary effect | Duration | Price (Robux) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XP Totem | 2x XP gain | 5 minutes | 1 for 49, 3 for 129 |
| Luck Totem | +50% Luck | 5 minutes | 1 for 75, 3 for 169 |
| Miner Totem | +20% mining speed, +15% mining damage | 5 minutes | 1 for 75, 3 for 169 |
| Warrior Totem | Damage increase | 30 minutes | 1 for 75, 3 for 169 |
| Vitality Totem | Health regeneration | 30 minutes | 1 for 75, 3 for 169 |
Every Totem occupies its own inventory slot and disappears completely once its timer runs out. They cannot be resold or converted into other items, so every placement should be deliberate.
How Totems work in The Forge
Dropping a Totem creates a large circular zone around it. Any character inside that zone receives the specified buff for as long as the Totem’s timer is active. If you step outside the radius, you immediately lose the effect; stepping back in re-applies it while the Totem is still active.
The radius is generous enough that a single Totem can cover an entire cluster of mining nodes or a significant chunk of the starter village. That scale is what makes them so efficient in crowded farming spots and group combat.
There is no way to extend a Totem’s timer once placed. When the duration ends, the Totem vanishes, and its buff stops for everyone it was affecting.
How to use Totems effectively
Totems are equipped and cast from dedicated quick slots, not used directly from storage, so there is a small setup step before you gain any benefit.
Step 1: Open your Stash in-game and locate the Totem you want to use. Totems sit alongside your other consumables.
Step 2: Select the Totem and press Equip. The game assigns it to the first available Quick Cast number key slot.
Step 3: Move to the exact area you want to cover: a dense ore cluster, a boss arena, or the center of a village if you are buffing a group.
Step 4: Press the assigned number key to ready the Totem in your character’s hands.
Step 5: Press the left mouse button to place the Totem on the ground and start the timer. Stay inside the visible radius to keep the effect active.
Totems appear to affect all players inside their area, not only the one who placed them, which makes them a quiet form of co-op support in high-traffic zones.
XP Totem (leveling speed)
XP Totems are built for power-leveling. For five minutes, every action that grants experience inside the radius is doubled. That makes them ideal when you are:
- Finishing a string of high-XP quests or turn-ins
- Grinding mobs in a tight, fast-respawning area
- Squeezing the last few levels before a gear or zone milestone
The tradeoff is cost versus window size. At 49 Robux for a single Totem and only five minutes of uptime, the buff is sharp but short. The three-pack is slightly cheaper per use if you rely on XP Totems regularly.
Luck Totem (drop chance and rare ores)
The Luck Totem boosts your Luck stat by 50 percent for five minutes. In practice, that translates into better odds at rare drops and higher-rarity ores when you are mining or defeating enemies inside the area.
This Totem shines in dense farming spots where you can hit multiple high-value nodes or enemies without moving much. Many players combine Luck Totems with Miner Totems and Luck potions while mining basalt veins or other rare nodes; the effects stack, which dramatically increases the number of rare materials gathered per session.
Luck Totems are sold at 75 Robux for one or 169 Robux for three.
Miner Totem (ore speed and damage)
Miner Totems add two complementary bonuses for five minutes:
- Mining speed increased by 20 percent
- Mining damage increased by 15 percent
Those numbers matter most in higher-tier areas where ore health is high enough that each node takes time to break. A Miner Totem can turn an awkward mining route into a quick loop, especially in compact basalt fields where several veins are close enough that a single Totem covers them all.
Miner Totems carry the same price as Luck Totems: 75 Robux for a single use and 169 Robux for a three-pack.
Warrior Totem (long-duration damage buff)
Warrior Totems are the combat counterpart to the mining buffs. Once placed, they increase your damage for a full 30 minutes, which is long enough to cover extended dungeon runs, boss attempts, or extended grinding in dangerous regions.
The buff applies as long as you remain inside the Totem’s radius. In practice, that encourages semi-static combat setups: camping a strong spawn point, defending an area, or fighting bosses that stay relatively contained within a battlefield.
Warrior Totems share the same Robux pricing tier as most other non-XP Totems: 75 Robux for one, 169 Robux for three.
Vitality Totem (sustained healing)
Vitality Totems provide health regeneration for 30 minutes to everyone inside their area. They are essentially persistent healing fields, which is especially useful in:
- Prolonged group fights where incoming damage is steady but not instantly lethal
- Danger zones with chip damage from enemies or hazards
- Lower-level parties attempting content slightly above their gear level
Because the buff runs for half an hour, a single placement can stabilize an entire farming party in one corner of a dangerous region. Pricing again matches Warrior Totems and the other 30-minute options: 75 Robux for one, 169 Robux for three.
How to get Totems in The Forge
Totems do not drop from enemies, chests, or gathering. Every Totem you use comes from one of three channels, and all of them sit outside normal gameplay.
Buy Totems with Robux in the in-game shop
The most direct route is to purchase them through The Forge’s in-game store on its Roblox game page. Each Totem can be bought individually, and most are also available in discounted three-packs. The XP Totem is slightly cheaper than the others, reflecting its shorter, grind-focused window.
There is also an “Essentials Pack” bundle for 149 Robux. It is a one-stop starter kit that includes:
- 1x Miner Totem
- 2x Vitality Totem
- 1x Miner Potion
- 2x Health Potion
- 3x Damage Potion
- 3x Luck Potion
- 3x Speed Potion
- 10 Race Rerolls
- $5,000 in-game currency
For new or returning players, this pack is often the most cost-efficient way to test Totems without committing to multiple separate purchases.
Get free Totems from The Forge codes
The Forge periodically distributes redeemable codes that grant race rerolls and one-off Totems. These codes are time-limited and tied to milestones such as like counts or major updates, so they come and go quickly.
Recent examples include:
- 5K LIKES – 2 Race Rerolls + 1 Miner Totem
- 10K LIKES – 2 Race Rerolls + 1 Luck Totem
- POSTRELEASEQNA – 1 Race Reroll
- BETARELEASE! – 2 Race Rerolls
Other events have added new codes on top of these, such as 15KLIKES and 20KLIKES for extra rerolls, or updated 10K/5K codes that bundle rerolls with Luck or Miner Totems.
How to redeem The Forge codes
Step 1: Launch The Forge from the Roblox client.
Step 2: Tap or click the gear icon in the top-left corner to open the settings menu.
Step 3: Scroll down to the Codes section at the bottom.
Step 4: Paste an active code into the text field exactly as written, including capitalization.
Step 5: Press Claim. If the code is valid and unexpired, the game adds the corresponding rerolls and Totems to your account automatically.
If a code fails, it is either expired or mistyped. There is no penalty for trying, so you can safely test any code you find.
Where new Totem codes usually appear
Fresh codes tend to arrive during visible game milestones or events, including:
- Like milestones on the Roblox game page (5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, and so on)
- Major feature or content updates
- Community events and Q&A sessions organized by the developers
The most reliable way to catch them early is to watch the game’s official Roblox community and its Discord server, where code drops are often posted in announcement or code-dedicated channels.
Totem limitations and quirks
Totems are intentionally constrained despite their power. A few rules matter when planning around them:
- No selling: Totems cannot be sold to in-game vendors such as Greedy Cey or traded away. Once obtained, your only real option is to use them.
- Shared buffs: While not formally documented in detail, the buffs appear to apply to all players standing inside the AoE, not just the owner. In crowded spots, one Totem can quietly support several strangers.
- Finite timers: Every Totem has a hard stop at five or 30 minutes. There is no way to pause or reclaim a Totem once placed, even if you disconnect.
Those boundaries push Totems into a specific role: high-impact, time-limited boosts you plan your grind or run around, not passive background bonuses.
Used thoughtfully, Totems make The Forge feel very different. A single Miner or Luck Totem can turn a basalt field into a flood of rare drops; a well-placed Warrior and Vitality pair can let an undergeared party hold a dangerous choke point far longer than they should. The key is to treat every Totem as a strategic resource: save them for dense, high-value moments, stack them with potions and rerolls, and drop them where their oversized radius does the most work.
