'''Silver Ore''' is a high-tier gathered resource in Kintara. It is obtained by mining ore nodes in [[Frostmere]] and [[The Dunes]] (West) with a [[Pickaxe]] (requires Mining 20). Silver Ore is smelted into [[Silver Ingot|Silver Ingots]] at any furnace, then forged into the best tools and armor in the game.

Silver Ore is the pinnacle of the crafting system — the fastest-hitting tools and most protective armor all begin here.

== Gathering ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Tool
! Gathering rate (per minute)
! Level requirement
! Notes
|-
| [[File:Pickaxe.png|24px|link=Pickaxe]] [[Pickaxe]]
| 84–120
| [[Mining]] 20
| Same nodes as [[Stone]] and [[Coal]] in Frostmere
|-
| [[File:Pickaxelvl2.png|24px|link=Lvl 2 Pickaxe]] [[Lvl 2 Pickaxe]]
| 168–240
| [[Mining]] 20
| Forged through [[Smithing]]; doubles yield and XP
|}

Silver Ore nodes are found in [[Frostmere]] and [[The Dunes]] (West). Gathering requires [[Mining]] level 20 or higher. See the [[Category:Resources Calculator|Resources Calculator]] for full gathering time formulas.

== Smelting ==
Silver Ore is smelted into [[Silver Ingot|Silver Ingots]] at any furnace (Frostmere or Dunes West). No Smithing level required.

{| class="wikitable"
! Input
! Output
! XP
|-
| 60 Silver Ore + 60 [[Coal]]
| 10 [[Silver Ingot]]
| 220 XP
|}

Each smelt yields 10 ingots instantly.

== Uses ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Use
! Item example
! Ingots required
! Notes
|-
| [[Smithing]] tools
| [[Silver Sword]]
| 350
| Forged into swords, axes, pickaxes. Fastest and most powerful tier. Requires Smithing 20+.
|-
| [[Smithing]] armor
| [[Silver Helmet]]
| 4–6 per piece
| Four armor slots (head, body, legs, feet). Requires Combat 25 to wear, Smithing 24–30 to craft.
|-
| Repairs
| Tool/armor durability
| ~60% of craft cost (scaled)
| Repair costs vary by durability loss; minimum 1 ingot per repair.
|}

== Ore Tiers ==
Silver Ore is the high-tier in Kintara's ore system:

{| class="wikitable"
! Tier
! Ore
! Ingot
! Mining req
! Smithing req (tools)
! Speed bonus
|-
| Low
| [[Copper Ore]]
| [[Copper Ingot]]
| None (0)
| 0–7
| +5%
|-
| Mid
| [[Iron Ore]]
| [[Iron Ingot]]
| 5
| 10–17
| +10%
|-
| High
| '''Silver Ore'''
| '''Silver Ingot'''
| '''20'''
| '''20–27'''
| '''+15%'''
|}

Silver is the best gear available. Tools hit hardest, armor blocks most, and the speed bonus is the highest.

== Progression Gate ==
To gather Silver Ore, you must reach [[Mining]] level 20:

{| class="wikitable"
! Milestone
! Details
|-
| Mining 5
| Unlock [[Iron Ore]] gathering (mid-tier)
|-
| Mining 20
| Unlock [[Silver Ore]] gathering (high-tier, endgame)
|}

Silver Ore represents the true end-game grind. A full set of Silver tools and armor is the peak of power.

== The Dunes Advantage ==
[[The Dunes]] (West) now has Silver Ore nodes alongside Frostmere. Benefits:

* '''Dual locations''' — gather in either zone based on preference
* '''Heat consideration''' — Dunes requires heat management ([[Desert Robe]] or [[Health Potion+]])
* '''PvP risk''' — Dunes is full PvP; Frostmere is safer
* '''Respawn rates''' — both zones have comparable spawn rates
