I’ve seen a few good spots. The western hills still hold some decent ore, but it’s usually at the full price. If you want a discount, I’d head to the old smelter on the edge of town—those guys have a habit of buying off‑cuts from miners who want to get rid of them before they rust. Or talk to Merek over at the market; he buys in bulk and can stretch the price a bit if you give him a good story about a quest or something. Just keep your eyes open and your patience steady—good metal won’t just fall into your lap for half the price.
