Quick Links
Baldur's Gate 3 has been in early access for quite some time, and it is evident that the plans for the game have changed from Early Access to its Full Release. As such, there are a number of materials you can find in the game that look important, but aren't. On the other hand, some things, such as the Dark Mind, look like interesting trash but have a secret usage.
Where do Silver Ingots fall on this spectrum? Should you be hoarding them for a secret ending? Should you be selling them all? Keep reading to find out how to get Silver Ingots, and what to use them for in Baldur's Gate 3's full release.
Where To Get Silver Ingots In Baldur's Gate 3
Silver Ingots are found far and wide in Baldur's Gate 3. You'll start seeing them from the moment you leave the tutorial all the way until the end of the game. However, some containers have a higher chance of dropping them than others. The places most likely to have Silver Ingots include:
- Chests (especially gilded or buried ones)
- Crates
- Special loot locations such as sarcophagi
Along with Silver Ingots, you can expect to find other types of ingots such as Bronze, Steel, and Gold. Each has a different rarity and sell price, but all have a weight of 4.
Should You Sell Silver Ingots In Baldur's Gate 3?
Silver Ingots are well worth picking up to sell, as they are worth 50 gp each. However, many players start to wonder if they are making a mistake by offloading them all. Unless you meet very specific conditions, there is no use for ingots other than to generate cash. Even if you do get access to their secret use, you'll find many more than you need. It is perfectly fine to keep a handful and sell the rest.
How To Use Silver Ingots In Baldur's Gate 3
If you are one of the few players who ignored Shadowhearts Arc and focused on Karlach and Dammon, then you may recieve access to a Crafting Bench for your troubles. This is currently the only known place where ingots can be used, and the precise recipes are unknown. Because ingots are such a common resource, it is likely that there were plans for a more extensive crafting system that were abandoned during development.
If you missed out on this side quest then, you won't see a workbench at all and must rely on other crafted gear such as those forged during the Masterwork Weapon Quest or things you find from enemies. Luckily, there are enough magic items floating around in the game to sate Gale while still keeping some for yourself.
