Casting: Difference between revisions

Small stones containing metal ores appear on the surface of the world and are a good early game source of metal nuggets. To gather surface deposits, right click on 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.) Metal nuggets can also be obtained by [[panning]]. Nuggets obtained by collecting small stone surface deposits or panning are "ready to use" and do not require additional processing. Ores collected by mining are trapped in the parent stone. See the [[Ore Deposits|mining guide]] for more information. Stone and metal combinations harvested by mining must be placed in the crafting grid with a hammer to crush the stone and obtain ore nuggets. Each smeltable ore nugget contains 5 units of base metal.
