Metals are easy to come by, but you must put in a little work to farm them. Follow the steps below to get your hands on some Metals.

• Head over to any Carpenter
• Craft a Pickaxe and equip it to your ship
• Now you can head out to the sea and start looking for Ore deposits
• Once you come across an Ore Deposit, steer your ship close to it
• When you're close enough, a prompt will appear, and interacting with it will trigger a minigame
• Playing the minigame will add Metals to your inventory.

You can also toggle Auto Farming from the settings. This disables the minigame, but the yield you get from Ores will also go down. It is also important to note that if you don't get a prompt from Ore Deposits, it usually means another player has already harvested it.

Give it a while, and the Ore should replenish. Now that you have some Metals in Skull and Bones, it is time to get Refined Metals.
