# Resources & Materials ### Resources Resources are one of the key elements when it comes to crafting in The Six Dragons. The vegetation you will come across will allow you to harvest important resources which you can use for various purposes in the game. There are a total of 4 types of resources that you can encounter: Wood, Plants, Metal and Ore. In the cases of Wood, Plant and Metal, there are also two types you can harvest. For example, in the case of wood, you can chop plain wood or perfect wood! Perfect types of resources are used for higher quality of crafting. There also exist two forms of Ore: Gold and Purple. Ore can only be found inside [Arenas and Dungeons](/game-guide/exploring-the-world/arenas-and-dungeons.md), where you can mine them.

Each resource has **6 levels, Lv1 -> Lv6**. The level of resource you can harvest each time, depends on your [Harvesting, Gathering and Mining](/game-guide/character-development/fishing-and-campfire-cooking.md) skill level you have reached. For example, if your harvesting skill is 25, you will be able to harvest Lv3 Wood.

In the table below, you will be able to find the Lv of Resources you can get based on the Skill level you have. | Skill Level | Resource Level | | ----------- | -------------- | | ≤ Lv 1 | Lv1 Resources | | ≤ Lv 20 | Lv2 Resources | | ≤ Lv 40 | Lv3 Resources | | ≤ Lv 60 | Lv4 Resources | | ≤ Lv 80 | Lv5 Resources | | ≤ Lv 100 | Lv6 Resources | Higher Level of resources provide a better quality of crafting, so in order to craft a higher level Legendary Weapon, you will need higher level wood or perhaps metal. The amount of wood, plants, metal or ore you will be able to get each time, is also related to the size of the resource itself. Quite simple, the bigger the tree, the more the wood you will acquire! ### Materials Materials are mainly used to [Craft ](/game-guide/game-mechanics/crafting.md)weapons and Armor pieces using the workbench in each village. There are 3 types of materials: Essences, Matters and Gems. Each material has 6 levels, Lv1 -> Lv6. Unlike resources, materials can only be found as drops after battles. The Level of material you can acquire after killing a mob depends on the Level of the mob itself. For example, if you kill a Lv25 Garganoas, you have a change of an Lv3 material drop. Materials can be OC or BC. OC materials exist only inside the game, and you can find them inside your inventory with a white upper left corner. \---- Screenshot of OC materials and BC inside of inventory ---- You can [transfer your OC materials at any point, and convert them to BC](/game-guide/game-mechanics/transferring-assets.md). You will still be able to see them inside the game, as well as use them for BC crafting, but they will also be visible inside your Enjin Wallet and listed under your assets. {% hint style="info" %} Both **Resources** and **OC Materials** can be upgraded/downgraded using the Item Trader service found in various locations near the villages of The Six Dragons. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
