I’ve been timing the respawns on Platinum Ore and Orichalcum Ore. And it seems to be accurate that Platinum Ore’s respawn timer is SIGNIFICANTLY longer than Orichalcum Ore.
Why is this? Especially when Plat ore is worth like 0.01, and Plat ingots are worth just about the same. Plat ingots are useless, like most people have already said.
