If you’re aiming to mine uranium ores in Roblox The Forge, the Uranium Pickaxe is a must-have tool. It’s not just a regular pickaxe—it hits rocks with explosive power and boosts your luck, making mining easier and more rewarding. But you can’t craft it or find it lying around. So, how do you get this powerful pickaxe, and is it worth the grind? Let’s break it down.
Here’s how you get the Uranium Pickaxe and what makes it special
You need to buy the Uranium Pickaxe for $37,500 from Miner Fred's Pickaxe Shop in the Forgotten Kingdom. To afford it, you’ll have to mine lower-level ores, complete quests, or sell scraps (which give you triple the usual value). Grinding these will help you save up faster.
Once you reach the Forgotten Kingdom, head straight to Miner Fred’s shop. The Uranium Pickaxe stands out with its green uranium color and eight spikes—four on each side—with the longest spike in the middle for mining.

What does the Uranium Pickaxe bring to your mining game?
Here’s a quick look at its stats and what they mean for you:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Mine power | 67 |
| Mine speed | +0% |
| Luck boost | +41% |
| Rune slots | 2 |
| Buy price | $37,500 |
| Sell price | Unknown |
| Extra stat | None |
The mine power of 67 means you’ll need your character’s stats to add up to at least 78 base damage to break Basalt Veins, which can drop uranium ores (with a 1 in 777 chance). The +41% luck boost increases your chances of finding rare drops, which is a nice bonus. Two rune slots let you add special effects or boosts to the pickaxe.
To see if it’s worth buying now or waiting, compare it with the next pickaxe, Mythril:
| Pickaxe | Mine power | Luck boost | Buy price | Rune slots |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uranium | 67 | +41% | $37,500 | 2 |
| Mythril | 80 | +55% | $67,500 | 2 |
The Uranium Pickaxe is cheaper and gives a solid boost, but Mythril is stronger and luckier if you can wait and save more.
Why the Uranium Pickaxe is important for your progress
Mining is the heart of The Forge. Without a good pickaxe, you’ll struggle to get the materials needed for better gear. The Uranium Pickaxe fits right in the middle of your upgrade path—after Bronze and Iron, but before Mythril and Titanium.
Some players skip it to save time, going straight for Mythril or Titanium. But if you want to start mining uranium ores sooner, the Uranium Pickaxe is a reliable choice. Remember, it’s a rare pickaxe you can only buy, not craft.
How to farm efficiently with the Uranium Pickaxe
The best place to use this pickaxe is the Ruined Cave in the Forgotten Kingdom, where Basalt Veins spawn uranium ores. Since the pickaxe alone has 67 mine power, make sure your character’s stats push you to at least 78 base damage to break these veins.
Here’s how to farm smarter:
- Mine lower-level ores and complete mining quests to build your cash.
- Sell scraps for triple their normal value to speed up earning.
- Use earlier pickaxes like Titanium to farm quickly before upgrading.
- AFK farm in safe spots away from mobs, like paired rocks.
- Keep claiming quests to stack up gold for your next upgrade, the Mythril Pickaxe.
Once you have enough money and reach the Forgotten Kingdom, buy the Uranium Pickaxe from Miner Fred’s Pickaxe Shop and step up your mining game.
