What makes Amethyst worth farming? A 2.4x multiplier, the Dodge trait, and a location accessible in World 2 that separates casual miners from serious forgers.
Understanding the Dodge Trait
The trait system works like this: including Amethyst in your 3-ore recipe triggers the Dodge effect. What that gets you: 10% dodge chance. The composition math (20% threshold) is trivially satisfied with a single carrier.

Amethyst vs Other Ores
The debate around Amethyst vs other epic ores usually comes down to one question: do you need trait activation or raw multiplier? Amethyst favors the former. If you want maximum flat damage without trait play, higher-mult ores may serve you better.
