Here’s the list of ores with traits in The Forge. I have provided not only the list but also the trait details and a guide to obtaining these ores with the specified traits.
The Forge Ores Traits
Some special ores have traits that can be very useful for your builds. While early-game ores provide basic stat boosts, mid- and late-game ores unlock special traits that give weapons and armor unique effects, passives, and combat mechanics.
If you want gear that does more than raw damage or defense, you need to mine specific ores with purpose. Below is the complete list of Forge ores that grant traits, including their effects, where they’re used, and how to obtain them.
