Ores

Ores are raw mineral resources mined from the world in Valheim. They are smelted into metal bars and used to craft stronger weapons, armor, tools, and building components. Each biome introduces new ore types tied directly to progression.

== ⛏ How Ore Mining Works ==

* Ores are mined using a [[Pickaxe]].
* Higher-tier ores require stronger pickaxes.
* Ores are heavy and cannot pass through [[Portal]].
* Ore must be smelted before crafting.

Mining is stamina-intensive and often dangerous due to biome enemies.

== 🧱 Ore Types by Biome ==
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Ore
! Biome
! Found In
! Required Pickaxe Tier
! Smelts Into
|-
| **Copper Ore**
| [[Black Forest]]
| Surface copper deposits
| Antler Pickaxe+
| Copper
|-
| **Tin Ore**
| [[Black Forest]]
| Shorelines & riverbanks
| Antler Pickaxe+
| Tin
|-
| **Muddy Scrap Pile**
| [[Swamp]]
| Sunken Crypts
| Bronze Pickaxe+
| Iron
|-
| **Silver Ore**
| [[Mountains]]
| Buried veins (requires Wishbone)
| Iron Pickaxe+
| Silver
|-
| **Blackmetal Scrap**
| [[Plains]]
| Dropped by Fulings
| N/A (loot drop)
| Blackmetal
|-
| **Flametal Ore**
| [[Ashlands]]
| Volcanic deposits
| High-tier pickaxe
| Flametal
|}

Silver veins are hidden underground and detected using the Wishbone from [[Bonemass]].

== 🔥 Smelting Process ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Structure
! Function
|-
| [[Charcoal Kiln]]
| Produces coal from wood
|-
| [[Smelter]]
| Converts ore to metal bars
|-
| [[Blast Furnace]]
| Converts Blackmetal scrap
|}

Coal is required to process ore into usable bars.

----

== ⚠ Mining Hazards ==

Each biome adds risk:

* [[Black Forest]] – Greydwarfs and Troll patrols
* [[Swamp]] – Draugr, Blobs, Poison damage
* [[Mountains]] – Wolves and freezing
* [[Plains]] – Fulings and Deathsquitos
* [[Ashlands]] – Fire hazards and siege enemies

Mining often attracts nearby enemies.

----

== 🚢 Ore Logistics ==

Because ores cannot pass through portals:

* Build coastal mining outposts.
* Use [[Karve]] or [[Longship]] for transport.
* Consider staging smelting operations near water.
* Protect shipments during transport.

See: [[Sailing]]

----

== 🛠 Strategy Tips ==

* Always clear nearby enemies before mining.
* Bring stamina-heavy food.
* Mine entire copper nodes — much is buried underground.
* Mark ore locations on your map.
* Over-mine early; upgrades require large quantities.
