These greenish metals allow you to travel deeper into areas filled with stronger foes.
Thorium is a type of metal that Hytale players can use as a crafting ingredient for weapons and armor. Equipment made from Thorium provides better stat bonuses than gear crafted from Copper or Iron, but its large deposits are located far from the biomes that new players typically encounter.
For those who want to upgrade their Iron gear into a full Thorium set, this guide will show you the best location to get lots of Thorium Ores in the game.
How to get and farm Thorium Ore in Hytale
Currently, Thorium Ore is confirmed to be obtainable in Hytale on Zone 1 (Emerald Grove) and Zone 2 (Howling Sands). However, Thorium is quite rare in Zone 1, making it an impractical place for farming the metal.
Zone 2, on the other hand, contains rich deposits of Thorium Ore, especially in areas with long valleys and large hills. You can find Thorium, and occasionally Iron, as you climb through these hilly regions.
The most dangerous creatures you’ll encounter while searching for Thorium are the Scarak Seekers — large wasps that shoot poisoned stings from a distance. It’s best to bring a bow or crossbow, along with plenty of arrows, to deal with them safely.
Alternatively, you can search for nearby underground caves, where you can find large amounts of Thorium Ore. Be sure to bring plenty of torches to mark your path, as it is easy to get lost the deeper you go.
More details about Thorium ores in Hytale
Thorium Ore is easy to spot, appearing as green metal embedded in the rocks throughout the hills and underground caves of Zone 2.
As a sandbox game with procedurally generated maps, Hytale’s worlds change with every playthrough. This means the Howling Sands does not have a fixed location, but you can identify it by its desert, savannah, and valley-like biomes.
Like other ores, you can convert a Thorium Ore into a Thorium Ingot by putting it inside the Furnace, a craftable appliance from the Workbench.
If you want to upgrade your Thorium gear, the next ores to look for are Adamantite and Mithril. Cobalt gear, on the other hand, is an alternative to Thorium and can be farmed if you want equipment that increases your damage.
