While the ore you unearth is nice and hard, you can't do anything with it if it contains metal, dirt, and sand mixed into it. Not only does it make it difficult to build metal products of adequate quality, it is also difficult to produce even any results. Therefore, in order to use metal, a process in which pure metal is gained from ore is essential. This is where the Refining skill comes in. Through this skill, you can gain pure metal ingots or bars from ore. Do note that you can only use this skill when there is a Furnace to melt the ore in.
To get the skill You can obtain by talking to either Elen in Bangor, Meles in Filia, or Taunes in Vales with the Skills keyword. Whichever one you talk to will give you a time-limited quest to mine 5 Iron Ores, with the Refining skill as a reward upon completion.
Effects: Iron Ore, Copper Ore, Silver Ore can be Refined.
