Understanding the Damage Boost Trait

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Chaos 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 Chaos Ore available in World 1?

No. Chaos Ore only spawns in World 3. You'll need to progress your pickaxe tier and unlock the relevant zone before you can farm it.

Can Chaos Ore be sold?

Yes, but it's usually not the best use. The forge value of Chaos Ore far exceeds its sell price. Save it for crafting unless you have a large surplus.

How does Chaos Ore work in a forge recipe?

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

Chaos Ore vs Other Ores
