Path of Exile players must know that in each challenge league, some new mining materials are added, and Settlers of Kalguur is no exception. In this seasonal challenge league, you will be responsible for building a small town called Kingsmarch into a prosperous place of commerce, which requires a lot of materials, time and workers.

When building Kingsmarch, the first important resource you encounter is Crimson Ore, and the second is Orichalcum Ore. You can’t mine it yourself. You need to mark the location on the map and wait for your workers to collect it.

This guide will show you how to unlock these two important materials and how to mine them. It should be noted here that if you want to mine all the ores in one go, you need to use some POE Currency to upgrade your Mining operation to level 6 or above. Without further ado, let’s take a look!

How To Find Crimson Ore?

To get Crimson Ore, you need to talk to Johan in Kingsmarch, who is a very important NPC in the entire Settlers of Kalguur League. Is he hard to find? Of course not! You will find him in the first act.

As you interact with him, Corrupted Growths around you will open up, and enemies will continue to spawn. It is important to figure out who you are focusing on killing, Corrupted Growths and not the enemies. If you don’t cut off the source, it will spawn more enemies and you may be overwhelmed by them.

When all Corrupted Growths are destroyed, a marker will appear around the center of Crimson Ore Deposit. If your Kingsmarch still has idle workers at this time, the portal will open up, allowing them to mine Crimson Ore.

How To Find Orichalcum Ore?

When you discover Orichalcum Ore Deposit while exploring any map, several Pale creatures will appear around you. You can kill these creatures, and you will also receive a marker for Orichalcum Ore, besides some POE Currency.

At this point you can return to Kingsmarch and hire a worker with Mining skill to mine it. Here’s a tip for you: when you complete Prisoner’s Gate area, you can find a very large Orichalcum Ore Deposit, which will be very easy to find.

How To Use Workers To Mine?

In Town Overview Menu, you can clearly see how much ore you have and how many ores are marked but not mined. As mentioned earlier, you can’t mine in person, so without workers, you can’t collect Crimson Ore and Orichalcum Ore.

First, you need to go to Kingsmarch, build a mine and hire some workers. The steps to build a mine are also very simple. You just need to go to the area on the west side of Kingsmarch and interact with NPC there. It will cost you some POE Currency, and then you can build a simple mine.

So how do you hire workers? You need to talk to Raulf in the central tavern. After this conversation, you can choose from a variety of workers on the page, and you can refresh to show more choices. Once these workers start mining for you, don’t forget to return to the mining area and interact with the board. What I can tell you here is that you can assign a worker of mine a specific ore for you. For example, you can assign a worker of mine Crimson Ore specifically.

After the mining task is completed, Crimson Ore and Orichalcum Ore will enter your town’s inventory. If you have a worker who specializes in smelting, the ore will be smelted when it enters the warehouse. There is a very important tip to tell you that your workers will only mine and smelt when Kingsmarch has enough funds. If you must pay attention, you must deposit POE Currency into the town’s treasury in time after you obtain it.

How To Mine Crimson Ore And Orichalcum Ore?

After setting up your mine and workers, you can start mining. I just said that you can find Crimson Ore and Orichalcum Ore mines on any map, so after you mark them, the best way is to run this map and search this area.

But it should be noted that these ores will not appear in those generated maps, only in new maps. So you can’t just mine repeatedly through a map. So how to maximize the amount of ore mined? You can hire more workers, because each worker has the same mining efficiency at the same time.

If you want to mine ore and smelt it in Kingsmarch at the same time, but you don’t have enough workers, you can move the smelting workers to the mining task, which will greatly increase the efficiency of mining Crimson Ore and Orichalcum Ore.

The above is some information and steps on how to mine Crimson Ore and Orichalcum Ore in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. I hope you can have fun playing in Settlers of Kalguur League, and I wish you can build your Kingsmarch into a prosperous town as soon as possible!
