How to Get Shiny Ore in Clash of Clans

Clash of Clans introduced Hero Equipment back in December 2023, a system that lets you equip your heroes with items that boost their stats and abilities. To upgrade this equipment, you need Ores, a separate currency that works differently from gold, elixir, or dark elixir.

Shiny Ore is the most common of the three in-game ores and is used across all upgrade levels for both Common and Epic Hero Equipment, making it the one you'll need the most throughout your progression. In this article, we'll explore all the ways to get Shiny Ore in Clash of Clans and how to farm it.

Article Summary

• Shiny Ore is the most common of the three ore types in Clash of Clans and is used at every upgrade level for both Common and Epic Hero Equipment

• It is stored in the Blacksmith, which becomes available at Town Hall 8, and your storage cap increases as you upgrade the Blacksmith

• The Star Bonus is the best free daily source, rewarding Shiny and Glowy Ore after earning five stars in multiplayer battles; higher leagues give more ore

• Clan Wars reward Shiny Ore after the war ends when attacking Town Hall 8 or higher bases; winning gives the full amount while losing cuts it in half

• The Trader's weekly shop can be used to purchase Shiny Ore with Raid Medals earned from Clan Capital Raid Weekends

• Shiny Ore can also be bought directly with Gems at one Gem per one Ore, but this is the least efficient option and should be a last resort

What Are Shiny Ores?

Clash of Clans has three types of Ores:

• Shiny

• Glowy

• Starry

Each one is used at different upgrade levels and has its own rarity, with Shiny being the most common of the three. It works on every upgrade level for both Common and Epic Hero Equipment, which makes it the ore you'll spend the most of as you progress.

The other two types have more specific uses. Glowy Ore is needed at certain key levels for both equipment types, while Starry Ore is the rarest and only applies to Epic Hero Equipment upgrades past a certain point. Your Shiny Ore is stored in the Blacksmith, which becomes available at Town Hall 8. The amount you can hold at one time increases as you upgrade the Blacksmith, so keeping it leveled up is worth doing.

How to Get Shiny Ore

There are four main ways to get Shiny Ore in Clash of Clans.

• The Star Bonus is the most reliable free source. You earn it by getting five stars across multiplayer battles, and it resets every 24 hours after completion. The reward includes both Shiny and Glowy Ore, with the amount depending on your league. Players in higher leagues get significantly more: reaching Legends League gives you 1,100 Shiny Ore per Star Bonus, compared to much smaller amounts in lower tiers.

• Clan Wars also reward Shiny Ore after the war ends. Attacking a Town Hall 8 or higher earns you Shiny and Glowy Ore, and winning gives you the full amount while losing cuts it in half. The more you participate in wars, the more consistent this source becomes.

• The Trader is another option. His shop refreshes weekly and occasionally includes Ore deals you can purchase with Raid Medals. Raid Medals come from Clan Capital Raid Weekends, so staying active in your clan makes this method available regularly.

• Finally, Shiny Ore can be purchased directly through the in-game shop using Gems, at a rate of one Gem per one Shiny Ore. This is the least efficient option since Gems are better spent elsewhere, but it works as a last resort if you're just short on what you need to complete an upgrade.

How to Use Shiny Ore

Shiny Ore is spent at the Blacksmith to upgrade your Hero Equipment. Open the Blacksmith, select the equipment you want to upgrade, and confirm the upgrade. The cost in Shiny Ore varies depending on the equipment type and its current level.

Since Shiny Ore is required at every upgrade level, it gets used up faster than Glowy or Starry Ore. Prioritizing your Star Bonus daily and staying active in Clan Wars is the most efficient way to keep a steady supply without spending Gems.

Final Words

Shiny Ore is something you'll constantly need as long as you're upgrading Hero Equipment, so building consistent habits around the Star Bonus and Clan Wars makes a real difference over time. Skip spending Gems on it unless you're just a small amount short of an upgrade.
