Duskiron: Ore, Foundry & Armor
Duskiron is the metal past steel: a violet-black ore found in the burnt forest and the wasteland, smelted only in the Hollow Foundry and worked into class armor with its own powers.
How it works
- Find Duskiron ore veins in the burnt forest and the wasteland (new ground only) and mine them like iron.
- Build the Hollow Foundry (Workstations magazines, level 70): a 3 x 3 x 4 furnace with a smoking stack. It smelts twice as fast as a forge and crafts 50% faster.
- Feed it Duskiron, iron and clay to make Duskiron Ingots (or ore plus forged steel without smelting).
- Learn the Duskiron armor sets with Armor magazines (level 90) and craft them at a workbench from ingots.
- Every class has its own set. Two pieces give a bonus, all four a bigger one plus the set power: HUNTER Mark the Prey (headshots mark a target, +25% damage from everyone), SCAVENGER Vanish (near death: silent and 40% faster for 8 s), ENGINEER Shock Plating (25% chance to shock what hits you), MEDIC Second Wind (near death: +50 health, bleeding stops), BRAWLER Shockwave (a landed power attack knocks down every zombie within 3.5 m), OCCULTIST Dread Siphon (kills at night give health and stamina).
- Duskiron weapons and tools (workbench, from Duskiron Ingots): the Duskiron Sword (Blade magazines 100), the Duskiron Sledgehammer (Sledgehammer magazines 100) and the Duskiron Axe, Pickaxe and Shovel (Harvesting Tools magazines 100). They swing like the machete, sledgehammer and steel tools but hit harder, harvest faster and last much longer.
Tips
- Duskiron Ingots also make Hollow Rounds, Duskiron Steel blocks and Duskiron doors (see those pages).
- Duskiron armor has quality 1-600 like any gear and repairs the same way.
- Ore veins are in new chunks only: an old explored map has none where you have already been.
