Understanding the None Trait
There's no trait attached to Platinum. Players typically use it either for its multiplier, its sell value, or as a way to hit specific ore-count thresholds.
Where to Find Platinum
The World 2 zone is your farming ground for Platinum. Focus on Boulder nodes and expect drops around the 1/60 rate. Group farming with guildmates speeds this up considerably.
Platinum vs Other Ores
The debate around Platinum vs other rare ores usually comes down to one question: do you need trait activation or raw multiplier? Platinum favors the former. If you want maximum flat damage without trait play, higher-mult ores may serve you better.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Platinum be sold?
Yes, but it's usually not the best use. The forge value of Platinum far exceeds its sell price. Save it for crafting unless you have a large surplus.
How does Platinum work in a forge recipe?
Include Platinum as one of your 3 recipe slots. Its 1.9x multiplier stacks with your other two ores using the diminishing-returns formula (100% + 80% + 75%).
What weapons work best with Platinum?
Fast weapons like Katanas and Daggers pair best with Platinum's trait. Check the /weapons pages for detailed recommendations.
Is Platinum available in World 1?
No. Platinum only spawns in World 2. You'll need to progress your pickaxe tier and unlock the relevant zone before you can farm it.
