The Forge’s newest update has added more than just fresh enemies and pickaxes. It has also introduced a brand-new Maze area and a surprisingly adorable yet elusive merchant known simply as Fungi. Hidden away in the maze, the Fungi Merchant offers a rotating selection of high-value items, including a powerful mining potion and some of the most expensive weapon blueprints currently available in the game.
If you’re wondering what the Fungi Shop sells and whether it’s worth the grind to find him, here’s a complete breakdown of all items, prices, and how to locate the merchant.
All Fungi Shop items in The Forge
Once you locate Fungi inside the Hidden Maze and interact with him using the E key, his merchant store will open. The shop features a total of 9 possible items, though only a portion of them appear each day.
Here’s the full list of everything the Fungi Merchant can sell:
| Item | Price | Effect / Blueprint Type |
|---|---|---|
| Fungi’s Potion | $17,500 | 20% faster mining, 15% bonus mining damage, 15% extra luck for 600 seconds |
| Executioner’s Greataxe | $380,000 | Great Axe Blueprint |
| Shark’s Fangs | $80,000 | Dagger Blueprint |
| Crystalized Broadsword | $290,000 | Straight Sword Blueprint |
| Anchored Straight Blade | $260,000 | Great Axe Blueprint |
| Knight Spear | $320,000 | Spear Blueprint |
| Colossal Gemblade | $500,000 | Colossal Sword Blueprint |
| Anchored Greatsword | $440,000 | Great Sword Blueprint |
| Colossal Terrorblade | $470,000 | Colossal Sword Blueprint |
How the Fungi Shop rotation works
The Fungi Shop refreshes daily, and each reset includes:
-
Fungi’s Potion (up to 6 in stock)
-
4 random weapon blueprints, each with 1 stock
All stock refills every day, meaning you can repeatedly buy potions and eventually collect every blueprint, if you have the money. That said, these items are not cheap, and farming currency efficiently is essential if you plan to buy multiple blueprints.
Players are strongly encouraged to focus on optimized money-making routes, AFK farming spots, and high-efficiency builds before committing to the more expensive purchases.
Where to find the Fungi Store in The Forge
The Fungi Merchant is located inside the Hidden Maze, which appears in the Iceberg Island region.
Step-by-step path to reach Fungi:
-
Travel to Frostspire Expanse
-
Take the ferry to Iceberg Island
-
Pay the ferry captain 1 Coinite Ore
-
Enter the Hidden Maze and begin exploring
The maze is not static. Fungi’s location changes daily, meaning there’s no guaranteed shortcut. You’ll need to carefully explore the maze’s corridors each time you’re looking for him.
On the first day of the update, players were able to track his location through early gameplay footage, but after that, his position resets, forcing players to fully navigate the maze again.
Be prepared: The Maze is dangerous
The Hidden Maze isn’t just confusing, it’s also packed with high-difficulty pirate enemies that hit much harder than standard mobs. Going in undergeared can quickly end a run.
Before attempting to locate Fungi, make sure you:
-
Equip top-tier armor recipes
-
Bring high-damage or crowd-control weapons
-
Stock healing and defensive items
Preparation can mean the difference between a smooth run and a costly retreat.
Is the Fungi Shop worth it?
For players focused on long-term progression, the Fungi Shop offers some of the strongest weapon blueprints currently available. While the prices are steep, the daily refresh system ensures that patient grinders can eventually collect everything.
The potion alone is a solid pickup for resource farming, while the blueprints cater to late-game builds and min-maxed combat setups.
