How to get and use Mire Metal Ingots in Windrose

Mire Metal Ingots are one of the rarer ingots that you can obtain in Windrose, and it serves an important purpose. Its need will go up once you start to approach the late mid-game scenario in the early access. Let’s find out how to get it in the first place.

How to find Mire Metal Ingots in Windrose

To obtain Mire Metal Ingot, you’ll need to smelt Ancient Scraps with Quagmire Powder. You’ll also need the Large Smelting Furnace to craft this advanced recipe. Once you’ve unlocked the blueprint, you’ll need the following resources:

• 20 Hewn Stones
• 10 Foothills Iron Ingots
• 20 Clay

Once the furnace is ready, you’ll need the following recipes to get Mire Metal Ingots.

• One Quagmire Powder
• Two Ancient Scraps

Between the two, Ancient Scraps is the harder one to find in my experience. You can find it in the Cursed Swamps region. They will form deposits on dead tree parts, and you will have to mine them like other metals.

Most of the areas that have Ancient Scraps seem to have a lot of enemies in my experience. Hence, you’ll ideally want to deal with them first before trying to mine the resource. Since these enemies will likely be of an advanced level, you’ll want to use suitable equipment and gears.

How to use Mire Metal Ingots in Windrose

Once you reach the endgame, you’ll need Mire Metal Ingots for different types of upgrades. You’ll need the resource to improve your ships, weapons, and more. However, you don’t have to bother about it too much when you’re just getting started.

The key to winning auctions and building your empire in BidKing is often hidden behind the collectors you choose. While several options are available for you to use, you need to select carefully. Each collector has a unique skill, and some are better than the rest.

This guide will help you figure out the best collectors you can unlock and use.

Best collector skills in BidKing

The table below has a list of what I consider the best collectors in BidKing. Their skills will help you have some big advantages over your competitors before you lodge your next bid.

Collector	Skill
Aisha	Relic’s Insight	One of the very best skills to have if you can go past the first round. The skill reveals the outline based on the item’s rarity after each round. If you can enter Round 3, you’ll know how many White, Green, and Blue items are located in the lot. This is amazing information to have before you place your next bid.
Ivan	Arms Instinct	Weapons sell for higher prices, which will be highlighted by the skill. All Gear, Energy, and Transportation collectibles will also be highlighted, but I love this skill for finding out hidden weapons.
Isabella	Rare Valuation	She can immediately reveal the rarity of the highest-rarity collectible that you can find. This will immediately give you a good idea of how much profit you can possibly make from your purchase. Her skill also highlights outlines of four Gems and Minerals collectibles at random. Gems typically fetch good prices, so it’s a nice bit of information to have.
Raven	Endgame Insight	This collector is amazing if you can bid your way to the fifth round. The rarity of every collectible will be disclosed before you land in the final bid. Having that information will help you decide if you should put in a final bid or abstain from spending extra.
Victor	Value Insight	This skill will show the total number of Purple, Gold, and Red rarity collectibles. In short, you’ll have a precise idea of whether the purchase you’re about to make has anything of substantial value.
Ethan	Spatial Awareness	Ethan can reveal the outlines of five random collectible types. In the subsequent rounds, he will reveal the outlines of all known-rarity collectibles. If you reach the final round, he will reveal the outlines of every available collectible you can find.

While every collector has unique use-case scenarios for their skills, you’ll need to predict accurately. Overbidding too much can make you take a loss and erase your credits. Unfortunately, none of the collectors mentioned on the table above are available for free, but you can unlock them for free using the in-game goodies that you’ll get at launch.
