Tips[]
Because orichalcum ore is required to craft enriched dimeritium ore, which is in turn required to craft grandmaster witcher gear sets, that makes it one of the most valuable crafting components. As such, it may be worth extra care to stock up on materials needed to craft it.
- Green gold can be extracted from some Blood and Wine junk items, particularly jewelry with "green gold" in the name. Green gold ore, which can also be dismantled into green gold, can very cheaply be extracted from a very common junk item, the Toussaint knife.
- Hunk of nickel and unrefined copper ore can both be dismantled from the otherwise useless cupronickel ore.
