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.
The free [[Pickaxe|Starter Pickaxe]] does nothing in the Dunes — you need a forged Copper, Iron or Silver Pickaxe. Every forged tier yields 1 ore per swing, and the 90 XP is paid when the rock is mined out (a single rock takes 6 swings; bigger clusters up to 10). Higher tiers only swing faster, never more yield or XP. Silver Ore rocks are found in [[The Dunes]] only (all three realms).

Silver Ore
Category Resource
Effect
Cost / Recipe
How to get

Silver Ore is a high-tier gathered resource in Kintara. It is obtained by mining rocks in The Dunes with a forged pickaxe (requires Mining 20) — every Dunes rock, in all three desert realms, yields silver ore, while Frostmere rocks are all Iron Ore. Silver Ore is smelted into Silver Ingots at any furnace, then forged into the best tools and armor in the game. It also comes up while fishing in The Deep (1–3 ore on about 1 in 35 casts) and in Sunken Treasure Map caches (4–10 ore).

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

Gathering

Tool Yield Mining XP Notes
Copper Pickaxe 1 Silver Ore per swing 90 per mined-out rock Requires Mining 20 · swings 5% faster
Iron Pickaxe 1 Silver Ore per swing 90 per mined-out rock Swings 10% faster (a Silver Pickaxe swings 15% faster)

The free Starter Pickaxe does nothing in the Dunes — you need a forged Copper, Iron or Silver Pickaxe. Every forged tier yields 1 ore per swing, and the 90 XP is paid when the rock is mined out (a single rock takes 6 swings; bigger clusters up to 10). Higher tiers only swing faster, never more yield or XP. Silver Ore rocks are found in The Dunes only (all three realms).

Smelting

Silver Ore is smelted into Silver Ingots at any furnace (Frostmere or Dunes West). No Smithing level required. Smelts are priced per ingot, with a ×1/×5/×10 batch selector and a pace of about 1 second per ingot.

Input Output Smithing XP
4 Silver Ore + 8 Coal 1 Silver Ingot 30

A ×10 batch consumes 40 ore + 80 coal for 10 ingots and 300 XP.

Uses

Use Item example Cost Notes
Smithing tools Silver Sword 90 ingots + 2,500 Wood Silver Axe: 80 ingots + 2,000 Wood (Smithing 20) · Silver Sword: 90 + 2,500 (Smithing 23) · Silver Pickaxe: 100 + 3,000 (Smithing 27)
Armor Silver Helmet 40–100 ingots + 20–80 Molten Rock + 10–25 Brute Horn per piece Crafted at Kaziir the Armoursmith in the Dunes. Helmet (Smithing 24), Boots (26), Legs (28), Body (30). Requires Combat 25 to wear.
Repairs Tool/armor durability Up to 60% of the craft cost Every recipe material, scaled to the durability missing (minimum 1 of each). Gear that reaches 0 durability is destroyed.

Ore Tiers

Silver Ore is the high-tier in Kintara's ore system. The ore a rock gives depends on the region:

Tier Source Ingot Mining req Smithing req (tools) Tool swing-speed bonus
Low 10 Stone + 5 Coal (no copper ore exists — copper smelts from Stone) Copper Ingot None (0) 0–7 +5%
Mid Iron Ore (Frostmere rocks) Iron Ingot 5 10–17 +10%
High Silver Ore (The Dunes rocks) Silver Ingot 20 20–27 +15%

The speed bonus applies to the tools forged from each tier (swing speed), not to gathering the ore itself. Silver is the best gear available.

Progression Gate

To gather Silver Ore, you must reach Mining level 20:

Milestone Details
Mining 5 Unlock Iron Ore gathering in Frostmere (mid-tier)
Mining 20 Unlock Silver Ore gathering in The Dunes (high-tier, endgame)

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

Mining in the Dunes

Silver Ore is only found in The Dunes, so gathering it means managing the desert:

  • Heat consideration — the Dunes require heat management (Desert Robe, Cacti or Health Potion+)
  • PvP risk — the Dunes are full PvP territory
  • Forged tools only — starter tools don't work on any Dunes node
  • Access — the Dunes are closed to free accounts (those holding under 1,000 $KINS)
