Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) Ingots Guide

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a deep and immersive tactical RPG experience with an engaging storyline, complex character relationships, and deep combat mechanics. And of course, there are loads of shiny items for us to loot! Some of these (such as armor and weapons) have obvious uses, while others do not. As for ingots, read on for my BG3 Ingots guide to find out what they do and how to get them.

Where to find Ingots in Baldur’s Gate 3

Ingots can be found in random chests and boxes across the map and in dungeons, as well on creatures, but they’re most commonly found in treasure chests. At the time of writing you can find three different types: Bronze Ingots, Silver Ingots, and Gold Ingots.

What to do with ingots in BG3

There isn’t currently a documented use for any type of ingot in the game. However, as Baldur’s Gate 3 is still evolving through patches and players are finding out all kinds of cool little tricks as we go, there could still be a use. Some players have speculated ingots will be usable to either make or improve equipment such as armor, but this is unsubstantiated.

If you’re short of funds in Baldur’s Gate 3 and have some ingots in your camp or inventory, they are a good source of income from vendors, however.

• Bronze Ingot: 20 gold
• Silver Ingot: 50 gold
• Gold Ingot: 100 gold

If you’re not short of cash, there seems no harm in hoarding them just in case they come in useful later (I’ve certainly kept most of mine). But if you ever need a cash injection, I’d suggest selling as many as you need to get the items that will improve your party.
