Ores

Ore is a material that is the primary crafting material. Ore can be smelted down in a Forge to create Bars, the primary unit for crafting tools, weapons, and armor. Ore are usually found strewn about the underground layers of the world, however lower tier ores may be found protruding from the surface.
