Understanding the Burn Trait
The trait system works like this: including Magmaite in your 3-ore recipe triggers the Burn effect. What that gets you: 15% burn chance for 3 seconds. The composition math (20% threshold) is trivially satisfied with a single carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Magmaite available in World 1?
No. Magmaite only spawns in World 3. You'll need to progress your pickaxe tier and unlock the relevant zone before you can farm it.
Can Magmaite be sold?
Yes, but it's usually not the best use. The forge value of Magmaite far exceeds its sell price. Save it for crafting unless you have a large surplus.
How does Magmaite work in a forge recipe?
Include Magmaite as one of your 3 recipe slots. The Burn trait activates as long as Magmaite is in the mix.
Is Magmaite worth farming?
For World 3 content and above, yes. Its 3.2x multiplier and Burn trait make it a top pick. For early-game (World 1), you're better off with cheaper alternatives.
Magmaite vs Other Ores
The debate around Magmaite vs other epic ores usually comes down to one question: do you need trait activation or raw multiplier? Magmaite favors the former. If you want maximum flat damage without trait play, higher-mult ores may serve you better.
