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.

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 [[Valuables#Precious metals|500 gram silver bar]] plus the monetary value of 188 grams of silver.

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.

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.

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.

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 500 gram iron bar plus the monetary value of 60 grams of iron.

Valuable elements

This table lists all of the valuable elements that can be found within the ores in the Mazes, alongside their value per kilogram, and whether or not they belong to the Primary or Secondary category.

Primary elements can be exchanged for either metal ingots or money, whereas secondary elements can only be exchanged for money.

Element name Category Value per kg (in Parallar symbol.png)
Zinc Primary 100
Lead Primary 150
Iron Primary 200
Copper Primary 300
Tungsten Primary 500
Silver Primary 800
Gold Primary 2000
Platinum Primary 6000
Coal Secondary 10
Sulfur Secondary 20
Nickel Secondary 50
Mercury Secondary 75
Magnesium Secondary 100
Tin Secondary 150
Cobalt Secondary 175
Aluminium Secondary 200
Molybdenum Secondary 250

List of metal ores

This table lists all of the types of metal ores that can be found while mining in the Mazes.

Legend:

  • Ore of: Element type that this ore is mined for. (E.g.: Hematite is iron ore.)
  • %: Percentage value; what mass percentage of the listed element ("ore of") is found within one given ore bundle of that type. This in turn determines an ore bundle's value.
    • E.g.: Hematite is made out of 70% iron, therefore 70% of the mass of any hematite ore bundle is iron.
  • Rarity: Rarity indicator; cheap, common, rare, or very rare.
  • Parallar symbol.png per kg: Value of one kilogram (1000 grams) of this ore when exchanged for money at an ore bank.
