The Heart of the Island ore is the rarest and most valuable ore you can find in The Forge on Roblox. It’s a Relic-rarity ore hidden deep inside Raven Cave’s Crimson Depths, located in Frostspire Expanse. To get this ore, you need to unlock the right area, complete key quests, and use strong gear. It takes patience and a good plan, but the rewards are worth it.
Here’s how to get to the Heart of the Island ore and mine it
First, you need to unlock Frostspire Expanse, a late-game area that becomes available around level 70. This is important because the enemies and quests there require decent gear and experience. Next, you must complete the first two Raven NPC quests to open Raven Cave, where the Crimson Depths lie:
- Quest 1: Kill 5 Crystal Spiders, mine 10 Icy Pebbles, and bring 1 Aetherit.
- Quest 2: Kill 10 Diamond Spiders, 1 Prismarine Spider, and bring 1 Snowite Ore.
Once you finish these, Raven Cave unlocks. Inside, you’ll find many crystals and ores. The Heart of the Island ore looks like a big crystal with a glowing red orb inside. Don’t mistake it for the giant heart-shaped crystal in the cave’s center: that one can’t be mined.
The Heart of the Island rocks spawn randomly among other ores, so you might not see one every time. To increase your chances, break all crystals you find in the cave. New ores will respawn, and each respawn could include the Heart of the Island rock. Using a private server helps too: mine the rock fully, then leave and rejoin to reset the ores and try again.
Mining this ore is tough. It has 32,500 HP, so you need a pickaxe with at least 650 mining power, like the Prismatic Pickaxe or better. Weaker pickaxes won’t break it.
Even when you break the rock, the chance to get the Heart of the Island ore is very low: about 1 in 123,456. This means you’ll need lots of tries and patience.
What the Heart of the Island ore does for you
This ore is mainly used for forging high-end armor. It has an 18.5x multiplier and grants a powerful armor trait. Armor made with it gives a special buff: if your health falls below 35%, you get +15% health, +25% physical damage, and +25% movement speed for 8 seconds.
You can craft weapons with it, but that wastes its best bonuses. Selling it gives $346 in-game, but forging it into armor is a smarter choice.
How to farm the Stolen Heart ore from the Heart of the Island rock
Inside the Heart of the Island rock, you have a rare chance to get Stolen Heart ore. This ore only drops from this rock and is needed for the third Raven quest. The drop chance is about 1 in 54,321 per rock mined.
The third Raven quest requires you to kill 25 Mini Demonic Spiders, 10 Demonic Spiders, 1 Demonic Queen Spider, and bring back 1 Stolen Heart. Completing it rewards the Berserker Armor blueprint, one of the strongest late-game armor sets.
To farm the Stolen Heart:
- Reach level 70 and unlock Frostspire Expanse.
- Complete the first two Raven quests to open Raven Cave.
- Use a pickaxe with 650+ mining power.
- Find and mine Heart of the Island rocks in Crimson Depths.
- If you don’t get the Stolen Heart, leave the cave for 30 seconds to let ores respawn, then try again.
- Use private servers to speed up respawns and increase attempts.
