Ores are rocks or sediments which contain useful quantities of minerals. Ores are extracted through mining and are refined through various processes in order to obtain valuable metals or gemstones. Player characters can find ores at random in the UA, but the easiest way to acquire ores is to mine them.

Ore items are called ore bundles, which may be one of many different types (each type having a different composition) and be of varying mass (expressed in grams), which in turn determines the item's Weight (in Weight units).

On their own, ores don't have any uses to the player; they cannot be used for anything directly, nor are they part of any crafting recipes. Their only real purpose is to be exchanged at a mining facility's ore bank. Depending on the composition and amount delivered, a player character may exchange ore for metal ingots, gemstones, or directly to cash.

Ores are sub-categorized into three groups: Metal ores, Gemstone ores, and Serpentium ore.


Metal ores

Metal ores contain, as the name suggests, valuable metals.

All metal ore bundles have the following properties:

  • Mineral name
  • Ore type and percentage value (this percentage represents the actual percentage content of the
  • A rarity indicator; From lowest to highest rarity: cheap, common, rare, or very rare
  • A mass in grams
  • Weight in Weight units

The exact value of a metal ore bundle depends on its mass and its composition. For example, genericite is listed as a silver ore (86%), meaning that 86% of the ore bundle's mass is made out of silver. A 800 gram bundle of genericite would therefore be made out of (0.86 x 800) = 688 grams of silver ore. It could be exchanged for the monetary value of 688 grams of silver, or for a 500 gram silver bar plus the monetary value of 188 grams of silver.
