What is ForgeTax?
ForgeTax is a dark, first-person forging roguelite developed and published by GraveYardDev. Players heat swords, bring them to the anvil, increase their value through risky strikes, and decide when a valuable blade is worth protecting.
Relics can change the odds and create powerful synergies, while the dragon demands an increasing tribute. The core challenge is balancing sword value, break risk, relic investment, and the resources needed to survive the run.

ForgeTax Beginner Guide
Use your first run to learn the controlled forging loop, track value and break risk, and prepare the dragon tribute early.
ForgeTax Forging Strategy
Treat every strike as an investment decision: set a value target, weigh expected gain against break risk, and bank the blade in time.
ForgeTax Sword Evolution Tree
Every sword changes shape from +0 to +20: shared early stages, three lane shapes at +6, and six families at +10.
ForgeTax Relics
Relics change the odds on the anvil: some add Success tickets, some cut Break chance, some punish greed — and a few reward losing on purpose.
ForgeTax Relic Synergies
Stable relic plans revolve around four engines: high-value forging, break-risk reduction, resource conversion, and controlled gambling.
ForgeTax Dragon Tribute
The dragon demands an increasing tribute each stage. Decide when to forge, when to reserve a qualifying blade, and when to pay before anger rises.
ForgeTax Frenzy Guide
Frenzy is a limited window of fast forging. Learn how to trigger it, what it changes, and when to stop before the risk curve flips.
ForgeTax Forge Odds
Every strike on the anvil rolls Success, Great, Hold, Damage, or Break. Knowing the odds behind each roll is the difference between a stable run and a broken blade.
