Where to Find Bananites in The Forge (Monke Quest Guide)

by

The Monke quest in The Forge is one of the easiest and most profitable quests in the entire game.

While most quests require combat, exploration, or long mining sessions, Monke simply wants one thing: Bananite ores.

In return, he gives one of the biggest early game payouts, making this quest the perfect jumpstart for beginners who want fast cash and XP.

This detailed guide explains exactly where to find Monke, how to start the quest, where to farm Bananites quickly, and how to turn them in for maximum rewards.

How to Start the Monke Quest in The Forge

Monke is not located on the main islands, which is why many players struggle to find him.

You must unlock the Portal Tool and reach level 10 before you can travel to the Forgotten Kingdom.

Once you teleport to the second island, follow these steps:

  1. Spawn at the Forgotten Kingdom.

  2. Turn around and walk toward the ocean.

  3. Look for a very small island far away with three palm trees.

  4. Swim or walk (using the shallow areas) until you reach it.

Behind the rocks on this tiny island, you’ll find Monke, sitting beside a pile of banana peels.

Interact with him using E to begin the quest.

What Monke Wants

When you talk to Monke, he tells you he’s hungry. But instead of bananas, he eats Bananite ores.

Monke accepts the following amounts:

• 10 Bananites
• 20 Bananites
• 30 Bananites

However, to get the best reward, you should always give him 30 Bananites.

This also completes the quest in one go without needing multiple trips.

Where to Find Bananites in The Forge

To gather Bananites, you must return to Stonewake’s Cross, the first island.

Enter the cave and move deeper until you find:

• Rocks
• Boulders

These are much larger than normal pebbles and give the best chance of dropping rare ores.

Bananite Drop Rates

Bananites have a 1 in 30 chance to drop from rocks, but your best farming method is:

Mine Boulders

Boulders can give up to three ores at once, increasing your total ore gain and making the 1 in 30 chance feel much faster.

With consistent mining, most players gather 30 Bananites in about 10 to 15 minutes.

Turning In the Bananites

Once you have all 30:

  1. Use your Portal Tool to teleport back to the Forgotten Kingdom.

  2. Run again to the small palm tree island.

  3. Talk to Monke.

  4. Choose the dialogue option to give him the Bananites.

He’ll cheerfully accept them and reward you immediately.

Monke Quest Rewards

Completing the Monke quest with 30 Bananites rewards you with:

• 10,000 Cash
• 5,000 XP

These rewards are massive for early and mid game players, often allowing you to:

• Buy new potions
• Upgrade tools
• Craft better weapons
• Level up far faster

This is why most players complete the Monke quest early.

You gather Bananites naturally while mining other ores, so the quest progresses in the background without extra effort.

Why You Should Start This Quest Early

Once the Monke quest is active, every Bananite you gather counts automatically.

So even if you’re farming Fireite, Rivalite, or other ores, you’ll occasionally pick up Bananites until the quest is done.

This saves time and lets you progress your mining, forging, and leveling while the Monke quest quietly completes itself.

Final Thoughts

The Monke quest is one of the simplest and most rewarding activities in The Forge. It requires no combat, minimal travel, and gives rewards that help players snowball their early progression.
