Where do I find Tin Ore in Enshrouded?

Tin Ore sits in the Nomad Highlands. The usual first stop is a cave north of the Nomad Highlands Ancient Spire, where the ore lies behind a Shroud Root. Smelt it into Tin Bars, then mix those with Copper Bars to make Bronze.

Tin Ore locations

  • Cave north of the Nomad Highlands Ancient Spire: a cluster behind the Shroud Root, the easiest first visit.
  • Mining Rift west of that northern cave: more Tin plus some Copper.
  • West of Umber Hollow: a small hole in the ground leads to a quiet cave where you can mine in peace.

Guides disagree on how busy the Mining Rift is, so bring food and a backup weapon. The Shroud Root cave pairs well with the Nomad Highlands Hollow Halls trip. Use the map guide to plan a loop through all three.

Tin Bar and Bronze Bar recipes

The Blast Furnace doubles your Tin Bars per batch, so unlock it before a big Bronze run. It runs on Coal instead of Charcoal. Check the station screen in game, since recipes can change between patches.

Other things that use Tin

  • Flame Altar: 20 Tin Ore is part of the offering that raises the Flame from level 4 to 5.
  • Water Dispenser at the Workbench: 3 Tin Bars and 1 Metal Scraps.
  • Eternal Chain Heal at the Alchemy Station: 10 Tin Bars plus other materials.
  • Coloring Station palettes such as Mossy Stone, each using 2 Tin Ore.

Keep raw Tin Ore aside for the Flame upgrade before you smelt it all. Ore inside a Flame Altar's build area does not come back, so mine wild caves instead. See the resources guide for the other metals.
