What is a Gold Ore?
It’s a resource you’ll acquire by breaking Gold Nodes with a Pickaxe. Upon collecting them, you can sell them for 25g each.
Where to Get a Gold Ore?
There are various methods to get it, including:
- Mining at Levels 80+ of the Mines (5.2%).
- Mining at Levels 60+ (Rare) and 80+ (Frequent) of Skull Cavern.
- Breaking Boxes and Barrels from the Mines.
- Quarry or Hill-top and Four Corners of the Farm Maps.
- Searching for Artifact Spots at the Beach (4%).

- Breaking Frozen (6.25%), Magma (5%), and Omni Geode (5%).
- Panning with a Copper Pan (23.1%).
- Purchasing it from the Traveling Cart (100g to 1000g).
- Clint Blacksmith sells it for 400g in Year 1 and 750g in Year 2+.

Crafting
Your excess ores are used best in making Mega Bombs that can wipe out a radius of six to eight tiles of your farm. Before creating it, you need to reach Mining Level 8 and collect four Gold Ores, a Solar and Void Essence.
Tailoring
You can make a dyeable Turtleneck Sweater with this resource and some yellow dyes for your pots.
Smelting
Placing it in a furnace with one coal gives you a single bar. However, this process takes five in-game hours to finish.
Gifting
It’s not an ideal gift for NPCs, but Clint feels neutral about receiving it.
