If you want a fast and stylish sword in The Forge, the Chaos sword is one of the best choices. But it’s rare and tricky to get because crafting it depends on both the ores you use and how well you play the forging mini-games. Let me break down exactly how to improve your chances of making Chaos without wasting your ores.
Use 6 ores and pick the right ones to get closer to Chaos
Chaos is a Straight Sword known for quick swings and balanced stats. It’s great if you like moving fast and hitting often instead of slow, heavy damage. But here’s the catch: Chaos only has about a 1 in 16 chance of appearing when you forge Straight Swords. That means you need patience and a smart approach.
The number of ores you put in the forge affects what kind of sword you get. Using 6 ores is the sweet spot for Chaos because it gives you roughly an 86% chance to get a Straight Sword. Using fewer ores (like 4) lowers your chance, and using more (like 8) can push the forge to make heavier weapons like Great Swords, which you don’t want here.
Next, the type of ores matters a lot. High-rarity ores like Darkrite, Demonite, Magmaite, Fireite, Eye Ore, or Rivalite give better stats and damage multipliers. But don’t mix too many different ores because that weakens the bonuses. Stick to one or two types and make sure each type makes up at least 10% of your total ores. For example, if you use 6 ores, at least 1 should be that type, but having 20-30% of a strong ore is even better to activate special traits.
Master the three mini-games to get the best sword possible
Crafting Chaos isn’t just about ores. Your skill in the forging mini-games plays a big role. The forging process has three parts:
- Heating: Control the furnace bellows with small, steady movements. This fills and keeps the heat bar stable. Don’t swing wildly or you’ll lose quality.
- Casting: Pour the molten metal by keeping the marker inside the moving yellow zone. Smooth, small adjustments work best here.
- Hammering: Click in rhythm to shape the sword. Perfect timing means better stats.
Practice these steps with cheap ores first so you don’t waste your rare materials. Good timing can turn average ores into decent swords, while bad timing wastes even the best ores.
What to expect from Chaos and where to forge it
Chaos has about 9.4 base damage, swings every 0.59 seconds, and reaches about 8 studs in range. It’s not the strongest sword in raw damage, but its speed and balance make it perfect for players who want agility and fast attacks.
You can forge Chaos at the Forge locations in Forgotten Kingdom or Frostspire Expanse. You can find these forges by clicking the anvil icon on your compass in-game, but remember that Forge locations might change depending on your hub. For more on Frostspire Expanse and its ores, check out the Frostspire Expanse: All Ores and New Pickaxe Locations in The Forge guide.
Chaos is a fun mid-game weapon if you prefer speed and DPS over heavy single hits. Heavy weapons do more damage per hit, but Chaos lets you move and attack quickly.
Keep trying smartly because Chaos isn’t guaranteed
Even with the best ores and perfect mini-game skills, Chaos isn’t guaranteed. The game uses random chance, so sometimes you won’t get it. Using more or rarer ores improves weapon quality but can push the forge toward heavier weapons.
A good way to plan your ore mix is by using community forging calculators like those on the The Forge Crafting Calculator. These tools help you see your chances before you start forging.
If you don’t get Chaos, don’t get discouraged. Just try again with fresh ores and keep practicing the mini-games.
