How to Get Nitrate Ore in Soulmask

Nitrate Ore is a special resource found exclusively in the desert regions of Soulmask. It’s not something you stumble upon easily, so you’ll need to head to specific locations where it’s known to appear.
Plateau biome
Head northeast from the Flint Tribe Scout Camp, following the lake’s bank. You’ll come across a small mining pit in the Plateau. Be prepared to face level 36 to 40 Flint Barbarians guarding the ore deposits. Equip your advanced bronze weapons, defeat the foes, and mine the Nitrate Ore nodes near the cliff’s edge. Each visit can yield up to 20 ores, which is perfect for early-game needs.

Southern Wasteland
For serious miners, the Southern Wasteland is where the real action is. Located west of the Fang Tribe Barbarian Stronghold, this region features multiple mining pits:
- Two pits south of the Barbarian Camp, guarded by level 50 Elite Bats.
- A medium pit between the smaller pits, with level 45 Fang Tribe Barbarians.

- The main outpost at the top of the mountain, defended by the formidable level 50 Fang Tribe Chief.

Clear out these locations strategically, and you can secure a substantial amount of Nitrate Ore for your crafting needs. Remember, you need to have at least an iron pickaxe to be able to mine this ore.
Crafting Nitrate Ore
If mining isn’t your style or you need more control over your resources, consider crafting Nitrate Ore right at your base. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Progress to the Dawn of the New Tribe level and unlock Crop Planting in Soulmask.

- Obtain a Fertilizer Bucket and a Grinder.
- Gather resources: Linen, Fire Ash, and plenty of Feces or Compost.
- Unlock the Nitrate Ore recipe and start production at your Fertilizer Bucket.

This method requires careful resource management but ensures a steady supply of Nitrate Ore without the risks of mining.

Using Nitrate Ore in Soulmask
Once you have Nitrate Ore, the next step is converting it into Niter Powder using a Grinder. This powder is crucial for enhancing fertilizers like Stone Powder Fertilizer, which in turn is used to craft Compound Fertilizer.

Here’s a quick rundown:
- Unlock the Medium Grinding Technique in the Bronze Tech Tree.
- Grind Nitrate Ore into Niter Powder at your Grinder.
- Use Niter Powder to create Stone Powder Fertilizer and subsequently Compound Fertilizer.

These fertilizers are essential for advanced farming in Soulmask, boosting your crop yields and tribe’s prosperity.
Remember to explore different regions, upgrade your equipment, and utilize the right tools to maximize your success. Dive back into the game world armed with this knowledge and watch your tribe flourish!
