Genshin Impact's Core of the Apparatus event is now underway, and it centers around assisting a toymaker named Bertrand. One of the ways that fans can help this NPC is by obtaining certain materials, include Ore. Indeed, players must collect three ores in the wild in Genshin Impact if they hope to make any progress in this event, and this guide has full details on how to approach this task.
Genshin Impact: Collect 3 Ores in the Wild
The first step toward collecting three ores in the wild is to equip the Material Collector, a gadget that is earned during the A-Toymaking We Shall Go World Quest. Genshin Impact players can find this item in the gadget section of their inventories, and it looks like a gold and black cylinder. While this may all seem quite obvious, it is very important to mention, as fans will not be able to obtain the ores that they need without the help of the Material Collector.
With the requisite gadget equipped, players can now set their sights on finding three ores in the wild. For full clarity, the ore that is referenced by this task comes from the sparkling nodes that extend from the ground, and they are found all over Genshin Impact's map. While the ubiquity of these nodes means that players should have no trouble getting the three ores that they need, a group of them has been marked on the following map to make things as simple as possible.
Upon locating a sparkling node, fans should simply attack it until it dispenses its ores. Genshin Impact characters with claymores, such as Diluc or Noelle, break these nodes extremely quickly, and players that use them will get to the ore without even breaking a sweat. In fact, these characters will have all the ores that they need and be ready to move onto the next process in no time flat.
With respect to the specifics of that next process, it is to collect three flowers in the wild. This is addressed in a fashion very similar to how the ores were collected, and players should have now trouble completing it so long as they keep their Material Collector equipped. From there, fans will be instructed to collect six fruits in the wild, a task that is once again resolved with the assistance of the latest gadget in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is currently in development.
