Quests in The Forge are one of the biggest hidden power boosts for players. While most beginners focus only on mining rocks or fighting mobs, the real progression comes from completing NPC questlines that reward huge amounts of XP, cash, and sometimes even unlock new tools or areas.
Some quests are found in open areas, while others are tucked behind caves and hidden paths that many players never notice.
This full guide covers every quest giving NPC across Stonewake’s Cross and the Forgotten Kingdom, where to find them, what quests they offer, and the rewards you earn from completing them.
If you want to level faster, unlock new caves early, or speed up your crafting grind, this list will help you finish every important quest in the game.
