Gold Ore

[Therious]

did they change the location of the gold ore?

[Fox]

Are you therious?

[Therious]

lol. yea I went and got silver but could not find gold like before, I have not been to get gold since before the pet update

[LARA]

I've always gotten it by mining obsidian nodes in and around the volcano using a high grade pick or pickaxe. Was there some place or some way different beside this that used to work?

[Fox]

There's gold bars in the chests found near shipwrecks east of the jungle from what I remember. Also, you can now train goldvein rocknoses and they will generate gold for you.

As far as I know, there are no gold deposits like there are silver ore deposits. Like Fox said, there are gold bars, coins and silver too in the chests around the shipwrecks on the main river and you can get gold by mining obsidian, butother than that I am pretty sure there were no minable gold deposits before and after the updates.

[Fox]

Yeah, no gold nodes, sadly.

[Vattende]

mine obsidian, there plenty just at the volcano-entrance. Just bring some cold drinks with you, and grab some ice before entering.

I just think it's kind of stupid that now you can not make cold weather clothing without gold, and you can't get to the gold without having coldweather clothing. I did make to the obsidian nodes, mined several got like 30 gold ore, died twice.

There are obsidian nodes outside of the volcano on the southern slopes in G12, Road of the Pilgrim. You won't overheat mining those.

You can make cold weather stuff without gold. Vanir armor (non-Epic) works just fine along with some spiced steak and spiced tea to snack on while you wander around the glacial north. Also, your temp resistance through your attributes makes a big difference as well. There are only a couple of special places that the Vanir non-Epic armor has trouble keeping up with the low temps.
