For other uses, see Ore (disambiguation).
An ore is an item (usually a type of unrefined metal) that can be mined from rocks or mineral veins using the Mining skill and a Pickaxe. Items such as gems, clay, granite, and essences are not ores per se, however they are still discussed on this page as they can be obtained via Mining. Metal ores can be smelt into bars using the Smithing skill.
