Resources

**Ores** are a type of mineable resource in **Deep Rock Galactic**. There are numerous different Ores scattered across the caverns of **Hoxxes IV**, some of which are required to unlock upgrades, while others are mission-related.

## Mission-Related

These resources are required to complete primary and/or secondary objectives. They are not added to your gathered resources at the end of a mission, unlike the crafting resources below.

### Primary Objectives

These items are required in order to finish the current mission.

 * Alien Egg
* Alien Egg wall-markings

 * Aquarq
* Aquarq wall-markings

A dark cyan-blue mineral found in wall surface veins, **Morkite** is the primary Mining Expedition objective, and only appears during these missions. The party will typically have to mine between 200 and 400 Morkite, depending on mission length and complexity. Once the quota has been filled, the M.U.L.E. will enable the recall function.
 * Morkite

 * Mini-M.U.L.E. Leg

 * Oil Shale

 * Ommoran Heartstone Core

### Secondary Objectives

These are not mission-critical, but will give a credit and XP bonus if collected before the end of the mission.

 * Fossil

 * Apoca Bloom

 * Boolo Cap

 * Dystrum

 * Ebonut

 * Fester Flea

 * Gunk Seed

 * Hollomite

## Crafting/Upgrades

### Minerals

These resources are not required for mission objectives, but are required to craft upgrades and cosmetics. As such, it's generally worth gathering them whenever they're discovered. They are permanently added to your inventory when the mission completes.

####  Bismor

*Main article:* Bismor
**Bismor** is found as large yellowish cubes with dark brown nodules dotting on each six faces. It is always located on the floor of caverns, making it an easy mineral to find and mine.

####  Croppa

*Main article:* Croppa
**Croppa** is a pale green metallic ore adorned with small purple spikes. It is found in surface deposits much like Morkite and Gold, although it slightly juts out of the walls and may spawn higher up than other crafting minerals.

####  Enor Pearl

*Main article:* Enor Pearl
**Enor Pearls** are glowing white pearls available as large spheroids embedded into the terrain or loose tetrahedral pieces. They can be located by the clusters of smaller pearls on the surface nearby.

Loose Enor Pearl takes a roughly tetrahedral shape.

####  Jadiz

*Main article:* Jadiz
**Jadiz** is found as large green crystals embedded into the rock, and can be identified by the smaller green crystal clusters on the surface around it.

####  Magnite

*Main article:* Magnite

Found as reddish mineral clusters with grey-black protrusions that look a little like metal bolts, **Magnite** is a rare crafting resource located in some of the most hostile regions of Hoxxes.

####  Umanite

*Main article:* Umanite
Taking the form of bright green mineral clusters, **Umanite** is found jutting out of the floors of caverns and tunnels, much like Hollomite.

####  Phazyonite

*Main article:* Phazyonite
Discovered in the shape of a shiny and thin spire with multiple protrusions, **Phazyonite** is rarely found on surfaces in all regions of Hoxxes.

 * Barley Bulb

 * Malt Star

 * Starch Nut

 * Yeast Cone

## Other

These resources are not essential to mission completion, but are nevertheless important to gameplay. They do not carry over between missions, and are converted into gold and/or XP at the end of the mission.

A bright red mineral found in wall surface veins, **Nitra** is used to call in resupply pods. It costs 80 Nitra per pod, and each resupply pod has four supply racks, each restoring 50% health and ammo to the user by default.
 * Nitra vein

 * Red Sugar

 * Gold vein

**We're rich!**
 * Compressed Gold
* Compressed gold wall markings

A brilliant magenta mineral only available as massive chunks embedded into the terrain, **Bittergem** can be found by looking for clusters of magenta crystals on the surfaces nearby. Once extracted, the chunk can be deposited into the M.U.L.E. and will be worth a very healthy amount of credits at the end of the mission.
 * Bittergem
* Bittergem wall-markings

A strange black Rubik's cube-esque object with pulsating white grooves. It is a very rare resource that is not listed on any biome, and its uses are currently unknown.
This 'mineral' (though it might better be described as an artifact) can be located by the presence of bright gray and glowing spikes on the surrounding rock. These spikes seem to pulse with energy, though once the artifact has been removed from the deposit the spikes fade to dull, lifeless grey. When examined, the characters will comment on its bizarre nature and strange appearance.
