ultima online ingots

In Ultima Online (UO), ingots are essential crafting materials used primarily by blacksmiths to create weapons, armor, and other metal items. Heres a detailed breakdown of ingots in UO: Types of Ingots Ingots come in different metal types, each with varying properties and uses: Metal Type Required Mining Skill Special Properties Iron 0 Basic metal, no special bonuses. Dull Copper 65 Lighter armor, lower durability. Shadow Iron 70 Slightly better than iron, resists some damage. Copper 75 Balanced stats. Bronze 80 Good durability. Golden 85 High durability, decorative. Agapite 90 Very durable, high-end crafting. Verite 95 Excellent for weapons/armor, resists damage. Valorite 99 Best metal for crafting (pre-Stygian Abyss). Obsidian (Post-Stygian Abyss) N/A Special properties, used in high-end crafting. Obtaining Ingots Mining Ore: Mine ore veins with a pickaxe, then smelt them in a forge (requires Mining skill). Buying from NPCs: Some blacksmith NPCs sell basic ingots. Stealing/Looting: Found in monster loot or player vendors. Recycling: Use a forge to melt down metal weapons/armor into ingots. Using Ingots Blacksmithing: Craft weapons, armor, and tools at an anvil. Tinkering: Used for some mechanical items (e.g., traps, clockwork parts). Carpentry (Rarely): Needed for some metal-reinforced furniture. Imbuing (High-End): Valorite/Verite ingots are used in imbuing recipes. Special Notes Colored Ingots: Some metals (e.g., Golden, Agapite) have unique colors. Exceptional Crafting: Higher-quality ingots (Verite/Valorite) yield better gear. Bulk Orders (BODs): Blacksmith Bulk Order Deeds often require specific ingots. Tips for Efficient Ingot Gathering Maximize Mining Skill (100+ with bonuses) for better ore yield. Use a Gargoyle Pickaxe (if on Stygian Abyss expansion) for faster mining. Mine in caves or mountains (e.g., Minoc, Vesper, Britannia). Use Prospectors Tool to check vein quality before mining.
