If you’ve been swinging Great Swords in Roblox The Forge for a while, you’ve probably wondered: how do players manage to craft those absolutely maxed-out, monster-hitting Great Swords that melt bosses and bulldoze through high-tier ores? Today, I’ll break down the entire process in a Q&A style, so you can follow along and build your own power weapon without feeling overwhelmed.

What Makes a Great Sword Reach “Max Power”?

A Great Sword becomes truly max-power when three things line up: its base tier, its enhancement level, and its perk combination.

Base tiers are tied to the materials you use. Higher-tier ingots lead to naturally stronger Great Swords. Enhancements give flat boosts to damage and often unlock additional stats. Finally, perks define the weapon’s personality. Whether you’re after raw damage, burst crits, or stamina efficiency, perks shape how the weapon feels.

From my own experience, it doesn’t matter how good your aim or timing is; without the right combination, you’ll hit a wall in late-game zones.

Which Materials Are Required for the Strongest Great Swords?

The recipe changes depending on the patch, but the consistent rule is this: top-tier ore plus refined alloys equals the biggest damage numbers. You’ll usually need a mix of rare ores from deeper zones, refined metals from your forge, and monster drops from elite mobs.

Getting these materials can take a while, especially when the deeper zones get crowded. That’s why many players try to stockpile mats ahead of time, either through grinding or other in-game methods. Some players even choose to buy The Forge items when they’re missing a few materials, especially for endgame crafting. Doing it this way helps you avoid breaking your mining route rhythm.

Where Should I Farm Rare Ores for Great Sword Crafting?

Most of the rare ores come from the mid-to-late sections of the map, such as volcanic caverns or corrupted tunnels. As you progress, you'll notice ore clusters spawning in predictable spots. Learning these routes can save you tons of time.

A quick tip from my own farming runs: avoid switching servers too often unless you absolutely have to. Certain servers get a nice rhythm where ores respawn steadily, and sticking around helps you gather the full set of materials without wasting time hopping.

Also, keep an eye out for event rotations. Roblox events inside The Forge sometimes boost ore drop rates, and farming during these periods feels incredibly rewarding.

How Do I Get the Right Perks for a Max-Power Build?

Perks can be the most frustrating part of crafting. You might get the perfect base weapon with terrible perks, or a lower-tier one with perks you'd die for. The trick is to understand which perks your build genuinely needs.

For Great Swords, the strongest perks usually connect to crit damage, stamina usage, or heavy-charge boosts. When perks line up, everything just feels smoother. My favorite part is when the heavy swing animation gets just fast enough to feel like you’re playing an entirely new weapon.

If you’re struggling to secure the perk roll you want, patience helps, but some players choose to buy The Forge items safe from U4GM when they’re missing very specific components. This route makes sense if you’re stuck farming the same boss drop for days and want to finish your build sooner.

How Do I Enhance My Great Sword to Maximum Level?

Enhancing is where your mats really disappear. Each enhancement level ramps up the material cost, and the later levels can be brutal. But the payoff is absolutely worth it.

The key here is timing your enhancements during resource-rich moments. Sound obvious? Maybe, but many players rush enhancements as soon as they craft the base weapon, then hit a wall when they run out of alloy or cores.

You’ll also need enhancement stones, which often drop from elite monsters. These fights can get intense, especially if you’re undergeared. I highly recommend bringing a buff potion or two before going in. Even if you’re confident, it makes runs faster and safer.

What’s the Best Order to Craft and Upgrade a Max-Power Great Sword?

Think of the process as three stages:

1. Build the base sword with the right materials.

2. Check its perk roll. If it’s terrible, reroll or recraft early.

3. Only when perks are solid should you start spending big mats on enhancements.

I learned this the hard way after pouring resources into a weapon with awful perk synergy. Ever since then, I always check the perk setup first. It saves so much time and frustration.

Are There Any Common Mistakes Players Make During the Process?

Definitely. The most common mistakes I see are:

Crafting too early. If you rush and craft your Great Sword before you have all the materials, you might get stuck with a half-finished weapon that doesn’t perform well.

Ignoring stamina perks. Great Swords burn stamina fast. Without the right perks, you’ll run out at the worst possible moment.

Enhancing before checking perks. This is the easiest way to waste rare materials.

Using the wrong ore tier. If you're aiming for max power, you can’t cheap out on the ore quality.

Even small missteps can hold back your damage during boss runs.

Final Thoughts: Is Crafting a Max-Power Great Sword Worth It?

Absolutely. It takes time, planning, and a bit of luck, but once you finish your max-power Great Sword, the difference in gameplay is massive. Mining gets faster, combat becomes smoother, and bosses that once felt intimidating suddenly feel manageable.

Whether you’re gathering mats the long way or supplementing your resources through options like U4GM, the journey is part of the fun. And honestly, few things feel better than swinging a fully optimized Great Sword that you built from the ground up.

If you’re ready to jump in, start with a good ore route, be patient with your perk rolls, and pace your enhancements. Before long, you’ll have a Great Sword that makes you feel unstoppable.
