What Gold Ore is used for in New World

First, the Gold Ore is used at the Smelter to create Gold Ingots, which can either be used to make jewelry and weapons, or upgraded to Platinum Ingots to make higher level items.
If you plan on being a jewelry maker in New World, you are going to need a lot of gold to do it. So knowing the best areas for efficient farming will help you make those high-price items.
How To Find the Best Mining Areas
Once you’re in your favorite area, bring up the Map (press M by default) and take notice of the different colors on the map surface. For mining, we’re looking for the light brown areas of the map—so the bigger the patch of brown you see, the greater chance you’ll have of finding large amounts of mining nodes.
This method is usually accurate, however some gold mine areas are not quite inside the brown areas on the map. Nevertheless, there is usually at least a few gold veins in every brown area of the map. But we’ll take a look at the best spots below.
