How to collect Obsidian efficiently

  1. Bring a steel-tier or better pickaxe and frost protection before you climb.
  2. Travel to the Albaneve Summit Tower and search south of it first.
  3. Clear full veins in one pass since Obsidian's sharp facets make deposits easy to spot once you know the look.
  4. Track your frost timer throughout the trip.

What Obsidian is used for

Obsidian is required to strengthen the Flame to level 8, and it appears in cold-weather armor recipes such as the Alpine Antler Hood. Farm it alongside Silver Ore before attempting the Fell Dragon Youngling.
