Loot To Forge Index: the Red Book and the Skill Index Statue

Quick answer: Loot To Forge has two collection systems that almost every guide merges into one. The item Index is the red book in the bottom-left corner of your screen, split into four tabs (Weapon, Helmet, Armor, Ore), where unrecorded entries show as a black silhouette with ??? and collected tiles are colored by rarity. The Skill Index is a separate statue in the lobby, tracking skills rather than gear. On the verifiable numbers: each new entry grants Index XP, one new ore was observed at +110 EXP, and only two rank titles have ever been recorded on screen, Recruit at Lv.4 and Blademaster at Lv.12. Milestone rewards are Power Boost +5% and bag capacity +2, and every source that has seen one agrees on the same trap: you have to click it yourself. Claimed milestones survive a rebirth. Nobody has published the level ladder, the milestone list, or the sort order.

• The Index is a completion checklist, not a strength chart. Position in the book means nothing; rarity on the tile does.
• Both systems are permanent once claimed, so they are the only progression you never redo.
• The bag reward has two incompatible numbers in circulation, +2 and +1.

Two systems, not one

The most common error in third-party coverage is treating the Skill Index as a fifth tab of the red book. It is not. They are separate objects in separate parts of the map, and only one has known rewards.

Two independent sources agree on the split, statue versus book, and both agree on the six skill ranks. Everything downstream of that is guesswork.

The four tabs, locked entries, and sort order

Weapon, Helmet, Armor and Ore. That split comes from a single source, so treat Helmet being separate from Armor as likely but not certain; a second source groups the same content as weapons, armor sets and raw minerals without breaking helmets out. Either way a helmet does not tick your Armor tab, and the tabs track independently.

An entry you do not own renders as a black silhouette with ??? in the corner. A tile you own is colored by rarity, which is where the ore rarity ladder connects to this page. The game pops a notification when you pick up something unrecorded, so an unopened notification usually means free XP is sitting there.

The book is not ordered by strength either. An entry sitting late is not weaker than one sitting early, a complaint consistent across player footage, and the sort rule is unknown. What does carry information is the tile color, so use the book as a checklist of what you still owe yourself and the rarity color as the signal for whether a gap is worth the grind.

Index XP and the two rank titles that exist

Every new entry grants Index XP. One data point exists: a newly indexed ore paid +110 EXP. The number almost certainly varies by category, since a common ore and a Secret ore are not the same effort to reach, but no second reading has been published.

Rank titles are where the evidence thinnest out. Across the entire web, two titles have been seen on screen, both from video frames rather than a data table.

There is no published level count, no XP requirement per level, and no ladder between Lv.4 and Lv.12 or above it. The two are not adjacent steps in a known sequence, so you cannot interpolate a curve from them the way you can from the rebirth gates.

Milestone rewards and the claim trap

The most useful and least glamorous part of the system. Milestones pay permanent bonuses, and four separate sources independently emphasize the same mechanic: the reward does not apply until you click it.

Claimed milestones are permanent and survive rebirth, confirmed by three sources. They are also the only progression completely immune to the Power wipe, which makes them the cheapest long-term value in a run. In community power-source rankings they land fifth, behind weapons, rebirth, Train Boost and training races, and no per-tier value has ever been published. The forge recipes page covers the faster multipliers.

The bag capacity reward is the one number nobody has settled. Two sites describe the same milestone class with different names and amounts.

The differences may be two different tiers rather than a contradiction, one site naming a joke-flavored label for a lesser reward. Or one of the two may be wrong, and neither has been withdrawn, so read it off your own book. Max Ore Count starts at 4 and caps at 24 through a separate upgrade station, and one account reports Index rewards pushing the bag past that cap, which would make the two sources additive.

The Skill Index statue

Confirmed by two sources as a lobby statue, separate from the red book, recording every skill you have owned, with skills ranked across six grades: D, C, B, A, S and SS. No tier above SS has ever been reported, and no source explains whether the statue gives XP, milestones, or anything else at all.

The practical use is reference rather than progression. The statue tells you which skills you have actually rolled, which matters because a weapon can carry a different skill than the recipes page suggests. The weapons and skills guide shows why rank and strength diverge, Blazing Pierce is SS and produces the lowest sixty-second output of all 21 published skill rows, while Lightbreak Slash is A and ranks third.

FAQ

Do Index rewards reset when I rebirth?

No. Three sources agree that claimed Index milestones are kept after a rebirth, along with weapons, armor, ores and upgrades. Only Power is wiped, and that is the one part confirmed by the in-game warning. Anything unclaimed does not carry over.

Is the Skill Index the same as the red book?

No. The red book in the corner tracks gear and ores across four tabs, and the statue in the lobby tracks skills across six ranks, D through SS. They share a name and nothing else documented.

How do I get Index XP fastest?

Pick up at least one of every ore you have not indexed, since a single new ore is the one XP reading on record at +110 EXP. Farm a few pieces from the Armor tab separately, and remember helmets have their own tab. Then compare your Ore tab against the 48-ore catalog in the ore guide. That is single-source advice, a starting loop rather than an optimal one.

Is there a list of every Index level and its title?

No. Only two titles have ever been recorded on screen, Recruit at Lv.4 and Blademaster at Lv.12, both from player footage. The level count, the per-level XP costs and the rest of the ladder are unpublished, and Good Bro Studio has never posted a chart.
