Ores
,Ores are sub-categorized into three groups: '''Metal ores''', '''Gemstone ores''', and '''Serpentium ore'''.
Unusually for items in the Mazes, all ore bundles have a listed mass in grams, and a corresponding Weight (in inventory Weight units). For every 5 grams of mass, an ore bundle gains 0.01 Weight units; therefore, 500 grams of ore has a Weight of 1, and 1000 grams of ore has a Weight of 2.
Metal ores contain, as the name suggests, valuable metals.
The exact value of a metal ore bundle depends on its mass and its composition. For example, '''hematite''' is listed as an '''iron ore (70%)''', meaning that 70% of that ore bundle's mass is made out of iron. A 800 gram bundle of genericite would therefore be made out of (0.70 x 800) = 560 grams of iron ore. It could be exchanged for the monetary value of 560 grams of iron, or for a [[Valuables#Precious metals|500 gram iron bar]] plus the monetary value of 60 grams of iron.
= Gemstone ores =
Gemstone ores contain raw, natural crystals which are suitable for refining, cutting and polishing into [[Valuables#Gemstones|gemstones]]. Like metal ores, gemstone ore is found in ore bundles. However, their mass does not directly translate to value; instead, '''for every 50 grams of gemstone ore bundle, one corresponding gemstone may be extracted'''. This means that any gemstone ore bundles with a mass of 49 grams or less are effectively worthless.* E.g.: A 48 gram bundle of raw spinel doesn't have enough to produce any gemstones. A 78 gram bundle will carry one gemstone. A 102 gram bundle will carry 2 gemstones, and so on and so forth. When exchanging gemstone ore for gemstones at an ore bank, you will obtain '''[[identification|identified but unappraised]]''' gemstones. == List of gemstone ores == This table lists all of the types of gemstone ores that can be found while [[mining]] in the Mazes. Legend:* '''Rarity''': Rarity indicator; cheap, common, rare, or very rare.* '''Min. [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]] per kg''' and '''Max. [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]] per kg''': One kilogram (wip1000 grams)of this ore produces a total of 20 gemstones. These two columns show the range of possible value for this many gemstones. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:9pt"|-! Ore name !! Rarity !! Min.
