Category Resource

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 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.

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

Gathering

Tool Yield per node Mining XP Notes
Pickaxe 1 Silver Ore 90 Requires Mining 20
Lvl 2 Pickaxe 1 Silver Ore 90 Swings 10% faster (a Silver Pickaxe swings 15% faster)

Every pickaxe tier yields 1 ore and 90 XP per node — 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.

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 ~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. 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 or Health Potion+)
  • PvP risk — the Dunes are full PvP territory
