The air hung thick with anticipation as I descended into the Maze, pickaxe in hand. Each echoing footstep was a gamble—a wrong turn meant facing packs of cutthroat pirates, while the right one promised something far more valuable. Then, I saw it: a flicker of light and the unmistakable aroma of exotic fungi. Ready to spend your hard-earned cash?
The Forge Fungi Shop: A Treasure Trove in Disguise
Ever walked into a quirky little store that seemed to defy the laws of economics? The Fungi Shop in The Forge is like that, but with more axes and fewer polite greetings. Tucked away in the Hidden Maze, this merchant offers a tempting array of goods. Interacting with him is as simple as pressing the ‘E’ button, which opens a window to nine potentially game-changing items. Let’s take a peek at what he’s peddling:
| Item | Price | Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Fungi’s Potion | $17,500 (€16,200) | 20% faster mining, 15% extra mining damage, and 15% extra luck for 600 seconds |
| Executioner’s Greataxe | $380,000 (€352,000) | Great Axe Blueprint |
| Shark’s Fangs | $80,000 (€74,000) | Dagger Blueprint |
| Crystalized Broadsword | $290,000 (€269,000) | Straight Sword Blueprint |
| Anchored Straight Blade | $260,000 (€241,000) | Great Axe Blueprint |
| Knight Spear | $320,000 (€296,000) | Spear Blueprint |
| Colossal Gemblade | $500,000 (€463,000) | Colossal Sword Blueprint |
| Anchored Greatsword | $440,000 (€407,000) | Great Sword Blueprint |
| Colossal Terrorblade | $470,000 (€435,000) | Colossal Sword Blueprint |
The shop’s inventory is a fickle beast, resetting each day to offer five items: the Fungi Potion (with six in stock) and four random weapon blueprints (one each). Think of the blueprints as lottery tickets; a potentially huge payout. Earning coin is no easy feat, so you may want to explore some money-making hacks.
The Maze: Where’s the Fungi Shop Located?
Remember those old-school adventure books where you chose your own path? The Maze, hidden within Iceberg Island, feels a bit like that. First, hitch a ride from Frostspire Expanse; the ferryman requires a Coinite ore as payment. Once you’re in the Maze, every turn matters. The Fungi Shop’s location shifts daily, compelling you to explore every nook and cranny.
Is the Fungi Shop location fixed, or does it change?
The frustrating—or perhaps exciting—truth is, the Fungi Shop is a moving target. Each day brings a new location within the Maze, demanding a fresh search. While this adds an element of replayability, it also means you can’t simply rely on yesterday’s route. The video below shows one possible route from an earlier update:
What challenges will I face getting to the Fungi Shop?
Don’t expect a leisurely stroll. The Maze is infested with pirates that are tougher than your average foe. Think of it as a test—only the prepared will reach the prize. Make sure your Armor and Weapon recipes are up to snuff before venturing in.
Can you restock the Fungi Store items after purchasing them?
Yes, you can restock the Fungi store items daily after purchasing them in The Forge. This resets each day so plan accordingly.
So, with the knowledge of the Fungi Shop’s wares and the perils of the Maze, are you ready to hunt for the ultimate blueprint, or will the pirates claim your hard-earned coin first?
