How to Get Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge

The Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge is a secret, powerful tool hidden deep in the Frostspire Expanse. Getting it is no easy task: you need serious mining power and patience to break through an ice barrier that guards it. If you thought upgrading your pickaxe was just about better stats, wait until you see what it takes to grab this one.

Here's a quick answer: to get the Prismatic Pickaxe, you must reach level 70 and have at least 420 base mining power (not boosted by totems, runes, or potions), usually from the Frost Pickaxe (or alternatives like the Void Pickaxe or Christmas Pickaxe). Then, head to Frostspire Expanse, break the ice wall (which drops 1 Mosasaurite Ore), and buy the pickaxe for 2,000,000 in-game cash with the Mosasaurite Ore in your inventory.

Let me walk you through the full process so you don’t miss a step

First, you need to unlock the Frostspire Expanse, the third island (third world/region) in the game. Unlock Frostspire Expanse (third island) by reaching level 70 through mining, quests, and defeating enemies in the first two worlds. The Frost Pickaxe is your key here: it costs 1,000,000 coins and only becomes available after completing the Sensei Moro quest 7 (NPC beside the crafting area in Frostspire Expanse). This quest also asks you to buy the Snow Pickaxe, so make sure you follow that upgrade path: Aqua → Snow → Frost.

Once you have the Frost Pickaxe, which gives you over 420 base mining power, teleport to Frostspire Expanse. From the spawn point, head south past the Bjorn NPC to the dock/ferry edge (ice castle in view). Turn northeast through the narrow passage, then head south to the frozen pond/lake. Find the small fishing hole on the left, jump in, and swim down to enter a hidden cave/dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, look for a massive ice wall on the southeast side. This wall is your biggest challenge. Breaking the massive ice wall (or frozen Mosasaur) on the southeast side drops 1 Mosasaurite Ore (takes 15-20 minutes with Frost Pickaxe; faster as Dwarf), required to buy the pickaxe.

Now, with the Mosasaurite Ore in your inventory and 2,000,000 coins ready, you can purchase the Prismatic Pickaxe. This pickaxe is a game-changer with 650 mine damage, +10% mine speed, 72% luck boost, and 4 rune slots to customize it further. You can socket Miner Shards into it to boost its power or luck even more.

Note that if you sell the Prismatic Pickaxe, the ice wall will respawn, so you’ll have to mine it again unless you have the Sell Everywhere gamepass or a friend helps you. Also, keep in mind that while the Prismatic Pickaxe is still strong, post-Raven Cave Update pickaxes (e.g., Dragon Head) surpass it.

Getting the Prismatic Pickaxe is a grind, but it’s worth it for serious miners who want to tackle the toughest ores in The Forge. Follow these steps, prepare your pickaxe upgrades, and dive into Frostspire Expanse: you’ll be mining like a pro in no time.
