The Forge event
The Forge Weekend: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Every Saturday, The Forge turns its mines into the best place on the map to chase rare ore. The game’s Weekend event layers a Mining Boost across the whole world, and it returns on the same day each week rather than running as a one-off. The Forge has pulled in about 1,000,000,000 visits and about 1,000,000 favorites, and about 8,900 players are digging in right now, which makes the weekend one of the busier stretches of its week.
Because the boost only runs across the weekend, timing is the whole game: miss the window and you are back to grinding ore at the normal rate until it comes around again. The Weekend event has run 6 times on a steady weekly beat, so once you know the start window it is easy to plan around.

What happens in the Weekend event
The draw is simple and worth the trip to the mines:
- A Mining Boost stays active for the full weekend, so every swing in the Forge counts for more.
- Rare ore drops are far more common than on a normal day, making it the prime time to stockpile the hard-to-find materials.
- The developer frames it plainly as “the best time to grind” the rare ores that are otherwise slow to accumulate.
Tips for catching it
- Pick whichever Saturday window suits you and set a reminder the night before — the boost rewards a long session, not a quick drop-in.
- Clear inventory space before you start so you are not dumping common ore mid-run while the rare drops are flowing.
- If you miss it entirely, there is no rush: the event comes back the following Saturday, so you are only ever a week from the next one.
How it fits The Forge’s schedule
The Forge runs a rotating slate of larger events on top of this weekly beat. The Halloween Update + Guilds content is live now, with a Halloween Second Week lined up to follow, and earlier runs like Raids & Molds and the Crimson Sakura Expansion have already come and gone. Against those headline drops, the Weekend event is the dependable fixture — the one players can count on every Saturday regardless of what bigger update is in rotation.
