Frequently Asked Questions
Can Tin be sold?
Yes, but it's usually not the best use. The forge value of Tin far exceeds its sell price. Save it for crafting unless you have a large surplus.
What's the best world modifier for Tin?
World 1 itself, since that's where the ore drops. Forging in World 1 also applies the local world multiplier bonus, boosting your final stats by roughly 10-20% depending on the tier.
Is Tin available in World 1?
No. Tin only spawns in World 1. You'll need to progress your pickaxe tier and unlock the relevant zone before you can farm it.
What weapons work best with Tin?
Fast weapons like Katanas and Daggers pair best with Tin's trait. Check the /weapons pages for detailed recommendations.
Tin vs Other Ores
The debate around Tin vs other common ores usually comes down to one question: do you need trait activation or raw multiplier? Tin favors the former. If you want maximum flat damage without trait play, higher-mult ores may serve you better.
