''Herein lies the conundrum.'' The tools required for mining must be made from metal by [[casting]], but the materials that players require ''to create'' metal tools can only be ''harvested'' when using metal tools! There are two methods available to collect enough smeltable ore nuggets (5 units of base metal) to create a pickaxe without mining. | ''Herein lies the conundrum.''

Small stones containing ores appear on the surface of the world and are a good early game source of metal nuggets. To gather surface deposits, break the ore containing stones with an empty hand or any item to convert the stones into smeltable ore nuggets and collect in your inventory. These small surface deposits are an indicator of larger underground ore deposits. (Be sure to add a waypoint to mark the location for later mining operations.) Sometimes nuggets can be found in [[Loot Vessels|loot vessels]] located in [[ruins]]. | Small stones containing ores appear on the surface of the world and are a good early game source of metal nuggets.

Copper nuggets can also be obtained by panning. See the [[panning]] guide for more information. | Copper nuggets can also be obtained by panning. See the [[panning]] guide for more information. | ||
