Understanding the Prismatic Pickaxe: Why It’s Worth It?
Before diving into the acquisition process, let’s establish why the Prismatic Pickaxe deserves your attention and resources. As someone who has tested every pickaxe in The Forge, I can confidently say this tool represents the absolute peak of mining efficiency.
Unmatched Statistics
The Prismatic Pickaxe boasts an impressive array of stats that place it in a league of its own:
- Mine Power: 650 – This dwarfs even the Void Pickaxe and allows you to mine through the toughest materials with ease
- Mining Speed: +10% – Significantly faster mining compared to other high-tier pickaxes
- Luck Boost: +72% – Massive increase in rare ore drop rates, making wealth accumulation much faster
- Rune Slots: 4 – The first pickaxe in The Forge to offer four rune slots, allowing for unprecedented customization
What makes these stats truly special is how they synergize. The combination of high mining power and speed means you’ll mine faster, while the incredible luck boost ensures you’re finding more valuable ores with each swing. The four rune slots allow you to further enhance these strengths or compensate for any weaknesses.
Economic Impact
From an economic standpoint, the Prismatic Pickaxe is a investment that pays for itself many times over. While the $2,000,000 price tag might seem steep, the increased efficiency in mining rare ores will generate returns far exceeding this amount. Players who have made the upgrade report earning back their investment within days, thanks to the dramatically improved ore discovery rates.
Step-by-Step Guide to Obtaining the Prismatic Pickaxe
Phase 1: Meeting the Basic Requirements
Reaching Level 70
The journey to the Prismatic Pickaxe begins with reaching level 70. This is non-negotiable, as the Frostspire Expanse (the third island where the Prismatic Pickaxe is located) remains locked until you achieve this milestone.
Pro Tips for Leveling to 70:
- Focus on completing quests from Sensei Moro – these provide substantial XP rewards
- Mine in the Forgotten Kingdom, as ores here give more XP than earlier areas
- Participate in boss fights when available – they offer massive XP boosts
- Use XP-boosting potions if you have access to them
- Consider VIP servers for less competition and more efficient grinding
Unlocking Frostspire Expanse
Once you hit level 70, you’ll gain access to the Portal Tool, which allows you to travel to the Frostspire Expanse. This third island represents the endgame content of The Forge and is where the most valuable items and ores can be found.
To access Frostspire Expanse:
- Open your inventory and locate the Portal Tool
- Select Frostspire Expanse from the destination menu
- Confirm your travel choice
- You’ll arrive in the hub area of the new island
Phase 2: Preparing Your Mining Arsenal
Achieving 500+ Mining Power
This is where many players get stuck. The iceberg protecting the Prismatic Pickaxe requires a pickaxe with at least 500 base mining power to break. Based on the most recent updates in 2026, here are your viable options:
Option 1: Void Pickaxe (Recommended)
- Mining Power: 650
- Cost: $1,350,000
- Location: Fred the Miner in Frostspire Expanse
- Quest Requirement: Complete Sensei Moro’s Quest 7
- Rune Slots: 3
- Additional Stats: 5% Mining Speed, 68% Luck Boost
Option 2: Christmas Pickaxe
- Mining Power: 550
- Cost: Available from Christmas Store (seasonal)
- Quest Requirement: None (if available)
- Best for: Players who got it during Christmas event
Option 3: Frost Pickaxe
- Mining Power: 420 (updated in recent patches)
- Cost: Varies based on progression
- Quest Requirement: Complete Sensei Moro’s Quest 7
- Note: May not be sufficient for iceberg breaking anymore
My Recommendation: Go for the Void Pickaxe. While expensive, it’s the most reliable option and serves as an excellent stepping stone to the Prismatic Pickaxe.
Acquiring the Mosasaursit Ore
The Fandom wiki confirms that you need 1 Mosasaursit Ore to make the Prismatic Pickaxe purchasable. This rare ore can be obtained through:
- Mining in high-level areas of Frostspire Expanse
- Defeating the Golem Boss (introduced in the Frostspire Expanse update)
- Purchasing from other players (often expensive)
- Trading with high-level players
Pro Tip: The Golem Boss has an increased drop rate for Mosasaursit following the December 26, 2026 update. Consider farming this boss if you’re struggling to find the ore.
Phase 3: The Journey to the Secret Chamber
Navigating to the Hidden Location
Once you have the required mining power and Mosasaursit Ore, it’s time to locate the Prismatic Pickaxe. Based on my extensive exploration, here’s the precise path:
- Start in Frostspire Expanse Hub Area
- Head South toward Bjorn (the NPC)
- Continue South to the edge of town
- Look for a dock next to the large lake
- Turn East and follow the path
- Find the frozen lake with a small fishing spot
- Locate the hole in the ice near the fishing chair
- Jump into the hole to dive underwater
Breaking the Iceberg
Upon reaching the underwater chamber, you’ll find the Prismatic Pickaxe behind a massive iceberg. This is where your high-power pickaxe comes into play.
Breaking Strategy:
- Use Miner Potions to increase your mining efficiency
- Place Mining Totems to boost your speed
- Consider using speed-boosting races if available
- The iceberg has extremely high health – expect a lengthy mining session
- Alternative: If you have the Demon Race, you can Demon Dash through the iceberg (note: you won’t get the Mosasaursit Ore this way)
Important Note: Multiple sources confirm that the iceberg was updated to require 500+ mining power, so ensure your pickaxe meets this requirement before attempting.
Phase 4: The Purchase
Once you’ve broken through the iceberg, you’ll find the Prismatic Pickaxe available for purchase. Ensure you have:
- $2,000,000 Gold (the exact price)
- 1 Mosasaursit Ore (to unlock the purchase option)
- Sufficient inventory space
Make the purchase, and congratulations – you now own the most powerful pickaxe in The Forge!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get the Prismatic Pickaxe?
The timeline varies based on your playstyle and current progress. For active players starting from level 50, expect 2-3 weeks of consistent play. For more casual players, it might take 1-2 months. The biggest time investment is accumulating the $2 million needed for purchase.
Is the Prismatic Pickaxe worth the cost?
Absolutely. The economic return on investment is substantial. Players typically earn back the $2 million within 3-5 days of regular use, thanks to the dramatically improved ore discovery rates and mining efficiency.
Can I get the Prismatic Pickaxe without the Void Pickaxe?

What happens if I die after breaking the iceberg but before purchasing?
The iceberg remains broken, so you can return and make the purchase without needing to mine it again. However, you’ll still need the $2 million and Mosasaursit Ore.

No, the Prismatic Pickaxe is soulbound upon purchase and cannot be traded to other players. This ensures that everyone must complete the acquisition process themselves.
