Line’s Quest: Navigating The Forge’s Most Annoying Mid-Game Gatekeeper
The Bottom Line: To clear Line’s quest in The Forge, you need to bring him 3 Fireite, a rare drop found in the Volcanic Depths. This isn't a quest for beginners; you'll need at least a Lightite-tier pickaxe and a willingness to brave a high-danger zone. While Line himself is an abrasive NPC, the 3,500 XP reward is a massive level-up catalyst that we believe is essential for anyone looking to break out of the mid-game slump.
We’ve seen our fair share of rude NPCs over the decades—from Morrowind’s elitist mages to Dark Souls’ mocking crestfallen warriors—and Line fits right into that "lovable jerk" archetype. He’s located in the Forgotten Kingdom. From the spawn point, take the right-hand path uphill toward the Wizard Tower. You’ll find him standing near the art gallery, blonde hair messy, dirt on his face, and a parrot on his shoulder that probably has more manners than he does.
The Gear Check: Don't Show Up Empty-Handed
Before you even think about chatting with Line, check your inventory. This quest features a hard gear gate. If you’re still rocking low-tier tools, you’re wasting your time. Our analysis shows that the mining nodes required for this quest have a high durability threshold.
| Required Tool Tier | Compatibility | Editor's Note |
|---|---|---|
| Lightite Pickaxe | Minimum Requirement | The entry-level tool for this run. Expect a slower clear speed. |
| Arcane Pickaxe | Recommended | A solid balance of speed and accessibility. |
| Magma/Demonic Pickaxe | Optimal | If you have these, you'll breeze through the Basalt Veins. |
The Route: Finding the Volcanic Depths
Line wants 3 Fireite. He’ll give you a vague hint about a lava area, but we’ve mapped out the exact path to save you the headache. This isn't just a stroll; it’s a multi-layered descent that reminds us of the classic "hidden dungeon" tropes where the environment is as much an enemy as the RNG.
- Entry Point: Head into the Ruined Cave (near Captain Rowan).
- The "Danger" Sign: Take the right-hand tunnel marked with the hanging 'Danger' sign. This leads to the Ashen Passage.
- The First Right: Once in the Ashen Passage, take your first right turn.
- The Pit: You’ll see a pit surrounded by magma veins. It’s usually clogged with Basalt Veins. You have to mine these out to clear the path.
- The Drop: Once the obstruction is cleared, drop down into the Volcanic Depths.
The Fireite Grind: Managing Expectations
Once you’re in the Volcanic Depths, look for Volcanic Rocks. This is where the quest becomes a test of patience. Fireite isn't a guaranteed drop; it’s a rare RNG proc from mining these nodes. We’ve found that the drop rate is low enough to be frustrating but high enough to keep you from quitting.
Pro Tip: If the pit is already cleared when you arrive, a previous player has done the heavy lifting for you. Jump down immediately before the Basalt Veins respawn and block your exit or entry.
The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
In the current meta of The Forge, 3,500 XP is a significant chunk of progress. Most fetch quests in Roblox-based RPGs offer measly rewards, but this quest actually respects your time—provided you have the right pickaxe.
Completing this also grants the "You Passed Line’s Standards" badge. While the badge is mostly for bragging rights, the XP is the real "Information Gain" here. It pushes you closer to the end-game loops. Line might be a jerk, but his quest is a necessary evil for any player serious about min-maxing their level progression.
