It is an important [[iron]] ore - unlike [[hematite]], [[limonite]], and [[magnetite]], goblinite is not restricted to any particular layer, though it is most often found on or near the surface. It occurs in [[Thief|small clusters]], which can sometimes be dealt with by a solitary dwarf with a [[pick]], and [[Ambush|veins]] and [[Siege|large clusters]] which require greater effort to yield. The discovery of a large vein of goblinite is cause for celebration, a holiday known as [[Goblin christmas]]. Also, there have been some reports of goblinite spontaneously materializing in the vicinity of armed weapon traps. | It is an important [[iron]] ore - unlike [[hematite]], [[limonite]], and [[magnetite]], goblinite is not restricted to any particular layer, though it is most often found on or near the surface.

To yield the precious metal, each piece of ore must be designated for [[melt]]ing and processed at a [[smelter]]; the yield is typically less than that of normal ores of iron, but can be an important resource in a particularly metal-poor location, provided you have sufficient [[fuel]].

Goblinite occurs in three main forms: weapons, armor, and clothing. Weapons can be used directly by your military (unless they are too large) or placed in [[weapon trap]]s, while armor is only useful for melting. Clothing is the least useful of all - it can be traded to [[caravan]]s, though it will not count as exported wealth unless you first [[decoration|decorate]] it in some way. Due to the massive quantities you will likely accumulate, it is generally best to simply toss this type of goblinite into a [[chasm]] or a [[Dwarven atom smasher]]. | Goblinite occurs in three main forms: weapons, armor, and clothing.
