Magic Ore

Magic Ore (魔鉱石) is the raw form of Magisteel. Even without being processed into Magisteel, it is considered equal in value to gold due to being rare and versatile.

Unlike regular ores, Magic Ore only forms around the vicinity of B Rank Monsters or higher. That is because when over a certain period of time regular mineral ores are exposed to dense concentrations of Magicules, the ores will slowly absorb them and eventually turn into Magic Ore. Due to the high level monsters lurking around them, they are only accessible to high ranking adventurers.

Magic Ore is already very difficult to obtain, but the amount of Magisteel that can be extracted from that ore is only 3~5%. In other words, even a fist-sized chunk of Magisteel is worth at least twenty times its weight in gold.

The 91st floor of The Dungeon is designated as the storage place for mineral ores, allowing them to turn into Magic Ores after absorbing Veldora's magicules.
