Ultimate Ores Min/Maxing List/Guide
By Joacwoo
Ultimate Ores Min/Maxing List/Guide.

If you're a guy like me who likes to keep their working on dot to not overwork yourself, and also like to KEEP TRACK of how much of a resource you need in order to satisfy all your needs to never mine that same ore again, then this "Guide" or List is for you.

This guide will assume two things:
1. You are playing on the hardest difficulty possible, so it will provide you with all the essentials to be able to craft any item you want in the game (All the buildings and their upgrades included)
2. You are going to use a Sword and Spear. If you are gonna use any other weapon, just discount the Sword/Spear costs and add your weapon of your liking to the total.

This guide will NOT list how to max out every equipment! I consider maxing out equipment a waste in many cases, so, for the most part, equipment like armor or tools stay at Lv2-Lv3 since the scaling of their costs is not worth the grind for a little number which wont hit any breakpoint at all. You can max out things to your liking an add in your own flavor just for flexing capabiliies, but i do not recommend it.


Glossary:
Any combination of values, like "Iron Sword x20, x10, x20" means that the Iron Sword costs x20 Iron to craft, x10 to upgrade to Level 2 and x20 to upgrade to Level 3 respectively. Anyways i add up all the level upgrades costs altogether at the end with a "(x50)" (in this case) to clarify.

If you want to contribute by adding extra information, leave it in the comments and ill add it right away!

@redimap, i already made an updated list, i was thinking if redoing this from zero or just updating it, i think i will update it in a couple of days, thanks for asking. About frostner, i didn't include it but i should since some people use it, imo i think its an overrated weapon, but i will add it in these days!

Two questions:
Are you updating for the mistlands and ashlands?
Where's Frostner?
