Silver Ore



Silver Ore is a mineral obtained mainly underground, though rare surface sightings are possible. It is less common than Iron and Copper, more common than Gold, and normally is found in large formations of 5-20 blocks.

Silver ore can be mined with a pickaxe and then sold or smelted into silver bars, which can also be sold, or crafted into furniture, tools, armor, or weapons for the player to use. Four silver ore makes one silver bar.

Silver ore can also be used directly in crafting silver bricks.

Despite being a relatively weak metal in real life, the Terraria version of silver is a lot stronger. It is one tier below Gold and one tier above Iron.

Silver ore can be hard to spot, as it looks a lot like stone. A good tip is to look for the cracks that form between silver and stone. If it looks like a crack between stone and stone, chances are some of it isn't stone. Another way to look for silver is to look for something that looks more shining than stone. The picture shows the difference between Silver and Stone quite well.
