Understanding the Damage Boost Trait
The trait system works like this: including Pyrestone in your 3-ore recipe triggers the Damage Boost effect. What that gets you: +30% damage to burning enemies. The composition math (30% threshold) is trivially satisfied with a single carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pyrestone worth farming?
For World 4 content and above, yes. Its 5.25x multiplier and Damage Boost trait make it a top pick. For early-game (World 1), you're better off with cheaper alternatives.
Is Pyrestone available in World 1?
No. Pyrestone only spawns in World 4. You'll need to progress your pickaxe tier and unlock the relevant zone before you can farm it.
How does Pyrestone work in a forge recipe?
Include Pyrestone as one of your 3 recipe slots. The Damage Boost trait activates as long as Pyrestone is in the mix.
Can Pyrestone be sold?
Yes, but it's usually not the best use. The forge value of Pyrestone far exceeds its sell price. Save it for crafting unless you have a large surplus.
Pyrestone vs Other Ores
The debate around Pyrestone vs other divine ores usually comes down to one question: do you need trait activation or raw multiplier? Pyrestone favors the former. If you want maximum flat damage without trait play, higher-mult ores may serve you better.
