If you’ve played a Survival Crafting game like Runescape: Dragonwilds before, you likely already know how important it is to get a pickaxe and farm yourself a bunch of ore. These are the main resources that you need to upgrade the tier of your gear in the game, starting from stone and ending at gold.

If you want to get an upgraded armor in Runescape: Dragonwilds, you’ll have to get yourself some Hard Leather.
Tin ore will help you create the second tier of equipment, which will let you challenge level three enemies with ease. It’s one of the requirements for creating Bronze Bars, and you’ll need a ton of them if you want to make any real progress.
Runescape: Dragonwilds is currently in Early Access, and all its content is subject to change.
Where To Find Tin Ore
The map of Runescape: Dragonwilds is divided into multiple biomes, and each biome has its special ore and other materials. To get Tin Ore, you’ll have to reach the Fractured Plains biome, which also introduces you to a new type of enemy while increasing their level to three. This is the fourth area in the game, which you’ll enter after completing the vault in Whispering Swamp.
You can find many Tin Ore deposits scattered around this biome. These can be identified as circular piles of rock with green ore deposits on them. When you get close, you can either use the Rocksplosion ability or a Bone Pickaxe or above to mine it. Once a node is depleted, the ore spawns back after a while.
You’ll constantly have to battle high-tier enemies while going around Fractured Plains, and wolves can specifically be a big problem.
To counter this, it’s recommended to get yourself a few Tin Ore and craft bronze-tier equipment before farming it in bulk.
Since the Fractured Plains biome is the biggest, it’s also recommended to take the resources for a bunch of Lodestones with you so that you can place them in various locations and make Tin farming easier for yourself.
All Tin Ore Locations
While Tin ore is scattered all around Fractured Plains and can be found everywhere, there are a few places you can visit to get a bunch of it in little time. Here are a few such places:
- As soon as you enter the plains from Whispering Swamp, you can take the path leading up with the road going to the left. Follow this path into the river ahead and you can get a bunch of ore on the way.
- You can also head to the eastern edge of the middle part of the plains, where you can find a bunch of ore in corners along with some deposits inside a cave.
- Finally, the secluded area with a building to the northeast is also great to look for some Tin ore.
All Tin ore locations in Fractured Plains have been marked with an X on the map above, making it easy for you to access them whenever you need.
Since there are a lot of deposits, you’ll have a much easier time cleaning them out if you’re playing with friends.
While you can find some Tin ore in Stormtouched Highlands as well, there are very few deposits here since most of it is covered with Iron, making it much better to farm Fractured Plains instead.
