Gold Ore is a rare and valuable resource in Palia, used for crafting advanced tools and earning gold. In the latest version of the game, Gold no longer spawns independently. Instead, it now appears in rare, dedicated nodes found alongside Iron nodes in Bahari Bay. This guide explains where to find Gold Ore, how to mine it, and how to farm it effectively.
Where to Find Gold Ore
Gold Ore is now exclusive to Bahari Bay, where it spawns as its own rare nodes near Iron deposits. These nodes have a distinctive golden color and are typically found on rocky cliffs and hills, close to or among Iron node clusters.
Gold is much rarer than Iron, so expect to clear many Iron nodes before finding a Gold node. Clearing Stone and Iron nodes helps increase the chances of Gold appearing on respawn.
How to Mine Gold Ore
Required Tool
- At least a Standard Pick is required to mine Gold Ore.
- A Fine Pick or better is recommended for faster mining.
Mining Process
- Locate a Gold Ore node near Iron nodes in Bahari Bay.
- Use your pickaxe to mine it. Node size determines yield:
- Small: ~1–4 ore
- Medium: ~2–6 ore
- Large: ~5–10 ore
- Clear nearby Stone and Iron nodes to keep respawn cycles active and improve chances of more Gold spawning.
Uses for Gold Ore
- Smelt Gold Ore into Gold Bars at your smelter.
- Craft high-tier tools, furniture, and gifts.
- Sell Gold Bars for significant gold income.
Tips for Efficient Farming
- Return regularly after respawn timers for consistent farming.
- Focus your mining route on rocky cliffs and hills of Bahari Bay where Iron nodes are most dense.
- Use the Ore Compass to locate large Iron and Gold nodes quickly.
- Clear all Iron and Stone nodes during your run to improve Gold spawn chances.
