The world of Sanctuary is filled with different types of crafting materials players can farm to upgrade their equipment. One such crafting material category is Ores in Diablo 4, in which players must use to upgrade/craft gear at the Blacksmith and Jeweler.
This guide explains everything we know so far about Ores in Diablo 4, including the locations in the world of Sanctuary, how you can get more quickly, some spicy lore descriptions, and more.
Update on 14 June 2023: We've updated this article with the latest on all known Ore Crafting Material types in Diablo 4.
All Ore Materials & Locations in Diablo 4
First and foremost, it is essential to note that you can get some crafting material Ore types from salvaging equipment in Diablo 4. For example, you get 1-2 Iron Chunks from salvaging any weapon at the Blacksmith.
There's also a way to get types of Ore materials out in the open world, across the five main regions of Sanctuary, in dungeons (possibly), and even Strongholds. Basically, players will need to interact with a Vein of the corresponding Ore type to get some crafting materials.
Please note: At the time of writing, it is unclear if there are more plant types and crafting materials to discover—the table below features information from WoWHead. We will update the list as soon as more information becomes available.
Check out the table below listing the Ore crafting material types in Diablo 4, a lore description, and locations you can find Veins in.
| Diablo 4 Ore Type | Usage & Lore Description | Location & How To Get |
| Iron Chunk (Common Crafting Material) |
Use: Upgrade or craft weapons and jewelry. Lore Description: "A common, dark ore that while heavy results in clean, useful metal and used by artisans throughout Sanctuary." |
Salvage weapons of any quality or get from Veins in almost all regions of Sanctuary. |
| Silver Ore (Magic Crafting Material) | Use: Upgrade or craft weapons and jewelry. Lore Description: "Silver is prized by artisans for both its beauty and potency against dangerous creatures throughout Sanctuary." |
Salvage magic weapons or get from Veins in almost all regions of Sanctuary. |
| Scattered Prism (Rare Crafting Material) |
Use: Add sockets to gear. Lore Description: "Rare and hoarded by their previous owners, these prisms are often guarded jealously." |
Found on massive monster corpses, for example, a World Boss like Ashava. |
That's all the Ore crafting materials we know about thus far in Diablo 4 and how you can get them. This might change as we edge closer to release, or Blizzard might add more to the game in the future.
