Understanding the Damage Boost Trait

Celestial Ore carries the Damage Boost trait. Effect: +40% damage on Peak-forged weapons. In the 3-ore recipe format, including Celestial Ore at all is enough to trigger it — you don't need to double up.

Where to Find Celestial Ore

Farming Celestial Ore requires access to The Peak. Break Divine Vein nodes with a compatible pickaxe. The 1/2000 drop chance means you'll want to farm in longer sessions rather than in short bursts.

Farming tip: Higher-tier pickaxes dramatically improve your success rate on Divine Vein. Upgrade your pickaxe before committing long farming sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Celestial Ore stack with other traits?

Trait effects are independent. Damage Boost activates alongside any other traits that hit their 30% threshold. Multi-trait recipes are exactly how top-tier builds work.

Is Celestial Ore worth farming?

For The Peak content and above, yes. Its 8.2x multiplier and Damage Boost trait make it a top pick. For early-game (World 1), you're better off with cheaper alternatives.

Is Celestial Ore available in World 1?

No. Celestial Ore only spawns in The Peak. You'll need to progress your pickaxe tier and unlock the relevant zone before you can farm it.

How does Celestial Ore work in a forge recipe?

Include Celestial Ore as one of your 3 recipe slots. The Damage Boost trait activates as long as Celestial Ore is in the mix.

Celestial Ore vs Other Ores

Compared to other celestial ores, Celestial Ore sits in a strong middle-ground. It doesn't have the highest multiplier in the tier, but its Damage Boost makes it more consistent than higher-variance alternatives.
