Map minerals and ores
Rare minerals at higher Curse tiers
Target higher-rarity minerals when a recipe or upgrade calls for them.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Rare minerals at higher Curse tiers
Void Fields deposits on a map whose fixed mineral set contains the needed material; enable Curses from the mode setup.
Before you go
- Unlock the target Void Fields map and Curse modifiers.
- Identify the mineral and rarity required by the Blacksmith recipe.
- Use a character and build that can survive the intended Curse level.
Farming steps
- Review the Blacksmith recipe and record the exact mineral tier you lack.
- Choose a Void Fields map known to contain the base mineral you need.
- Check the current in-game material and Curse information for tier requirements.
- Begin at a Curse level you have already cleared consistently.
- Mine accessible deposits while advancing through the run.
- If the run remains controlled, raise the Curse tier in a later attempt rather than changing multiple settings mid-plan.
- Complete the run and inspect the collected mineral tiers in your inventory.
- Spend suitable materials at the Blacksmith and recalculate the remaining deficit.
- The map determines the fixed mineral pool; Curses affect rarity rather than turning one map into another map’s resource source.
- Treat higher tiers as a tradeoff: a completed lower-tier run may serve a recipe better than a failed high-tier attempt.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat Curse-enabled runs until the required rarity is available in sufficient quantity for the next craft. Materials persist after the run and are consumed when used at the Blacksmith.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a map for difficulty alone: confirm its fixed material set includes the target mineral first.
- Jumping straight to an untested Curse level: step up gradually and lower it if you stop completing runs.
- Expecting a guaranteed high-rarity result: rarity improves with difficulty but an individual run’s result is not assured.
When to stop or switch
Stop when your inventory covers the recipe’s required mineral tier, or switch to a lower Curse level if high-tier attempts prevent you from collecting useful materials.
