Every Hytale world is vast and rich with resources, but since every zone is quite detailed and complex, it can be tricky to figure out where to go searching for the items you need. If you’re struggling to find one of these key resources, here’s how to get all ores and ingots in Hytale.

There are eight ores you can find throughout Hytale, the majority of which can be found throughout all zones. Each one is far more common and easy to locate in certain regions and places, though, so you’ll generally want to set out to explore specific spots when hunting for each one.

Here are all of the ores you can find, what they look like, and where to look for them. We’ll update this information as we continue to explore and learn more about where they can appear.

How to Craft All Ingots in Hytale

All ores can be converted into ingots using a Furnace, which is one of the many Workbenches you can craft and use. To make a Furnace, you’ll first need to craft and place a classic Workbench, as the recipe for this item is tied to a regular crafting station.

Once you have a Furnace placed, interact with it to transfer the ore you want to smelt. You’ll also need some kind of fuel, like Sticks, to get the fire started, so be sure to grab some before trying to turn it on. Wait a bit after the fire starts, then you’ll be able to grab your freshly made ingots.

Now that you know where to find all the ores you’ll ever need, you can get to work crafting some powerful new gear. There are plenty of unique weapons and armor you can make, all of which require lots of ores in addition to other key resources like Leather and Sticks.
