T1–T5 · Early waves
W1–W2 gear clears T1–T5 comfortably. Bring any 15–20 ore load at a World 2 anvil — Hellshard, Ashbite and Magma Pearl start dropping here and outscale mined ores immediately.
The Tower is the only source of raid-tier ores — from Hellshard at T1 to Frost Star at T15. Below: every drop, its multiplier, and what to bring for each bracket.

W1–W2 gear clears T1–T5 comfortably. Bring any 15–20 ore load at a World 2 anvil — Hellshard, Ashbite and Magma Pearl start dropping here and outscale mined ores immediately.
T6–T10 wants World 3 gear: ~18x multiplier loads with one defensive trait. Abyssalite and Dreadstone are the first real trait drops — save every one for endgame recipes.
T11–T15 is raid-gear territory: 25x+ loads, double-trait splits and a tanky second build for wave bosses. Kitsunite, Bizzarite and Frost Star — the BiS crucible ores — all live here.
Each wave has a chance to drop its tier ore — roughly 1 in (20 + 32 × tier) per clear.
Raid ores carry world tag "raid" and slot into any crucible like normal ores.
T10+ ores are what separate endgame builds: Frost Core, Vooite, Echotite, Tetrinite, Bizzarite, Kitsunite and Frost Star.
Frost Star drops at roughly 1 in 500 per Wave 15 clear — the rarest farmable ore in the game. Budget three to five sessions for the 20 you need for a BiS recipe.
Abyssalite (T9), Dreadstone (T10), Soulfire Ore (T11), Echotite (T11), Nullshard (T12), Frost Core (T12), Tetrinite (T13), Extinctionite (T14), Bizzarite (T14), Kitsunite (T14) and Supermassive Black Hole (T15).
A few high crafted ores come close — Master's Alloy hits 26.8x and Sakura Eternium 22.4x — but true raid traits (Kitsune Flame, Echo Strike) are raid-drop exclusive.
