Description

Ores are minerals found in veins around Erinn. They can be used for Blacksmithing, Refining, Metal Conversion or Hillwen Engineering.

Details

• A standard mineral vein contains 7 collections.
• Ore deposits only regenerate if they are in the overworld, with a few exceptions.
• In dungeons, deposits appear in groups of 4, either in a room (usually empty, sometimes with pre-spawns and rarely with chests) or in a hallway.
  • The presence and number of Ore Deposit groups in a dungeon is entirely random. There can be as many as four groups on a single floor, or none.
• There are usually 2 to 5 deposits in each large room of Solea.

Node Types

Ore

• These nodes are the most commonly found in Barri Dungeon, Solea, and the Connous Underground maze.
• They naturally occur in Blackstone Beach.
• In Connous Underground Maze and Solea, the player must first discover them via L-Rod Exploration.

ORE

• These nodes of a rarer type only occur in Barri dungeon. They have lower rates of Iron Ore occuring.

Hillwen Ore

• These nodes only occur in Hillwen Mine and regenerate over time after being depleted.
• Varying sizes of them occur within the mine. The floor they are found on, as well as their size, determines the type of ores found and their rates.
