They may also be obtained from various other activities such as fishing, slaying Monsters, destroying crates and barrels, opening Geodes, digging up Artifact spots, panning, tilling soil and opening Garbage cans.

Ore can be smelted into a bar of the corresponding resource, consuming 5 ore and 1 Coal.
