How to Get Bismuth in Path of Exile

The Settlers of Kalguur update for Path of Exile has brought with it a ton of new content to the game, including a number of different resources that you can get for yourself. One such resource is Bismuth, a rare and valuable ore.

In this guide, we will be looking at how you can get Bismuth in Path of Exile. There are a number of different uses for this valuable ore, making it a must-have resource in Settlers of Karguul.

How to Get Bismuth

You can get Bismuth in Path of Exile by either mining it yourself or using workers to mine the ore for you. Both methods are very good at generating Bismuth, but only if you know how they work.

So how do both methods work?

Mining Bismuth

Bismuth can be mined through Bismuth deposits. You will be able to find these deposits after Act 5 in Settlers of Kalguur.

The image above shows what a Bismuth deposit looks like. To mine Bismuth from this deposit, all you need to do is go up to it and click on it.

An important thing to note is that after you mine the Bismuth, certain mobs surrounding the deposit will receive various powerful buffs. These enemies will become significantly stronger than the other enemies alongside them, so be wary of them when mining Bismuth.

As shown in the image above, the buffed enemies will have a bright outline around them. When clearing these mobs, try to take out the buffed enemy first. This will make your life much easier and help you get out of the area as soon as possible.

Using Workers to Mine Bismuth

Another way to get Bismuth in Path of Exile is by using workers to mine it for you. The new league mechanic in Kingsmarch allows you to take control of several different tasks around the city, including mining. You can hire workers and assign them to these mines to help you gather Bismuth. For more on the league system, check out our detailed guide on how the league mechanic works in POE.

To mine Bismuth using workers, you will need to upgrade your mining to rank 4. Once your mining is at rank 4, you’ll be able to assign workers to mine Bismuth. As long as you have workers assigned to mining, they will passively generate the ore for you. You will need to pay the workers hourly though, so make sure you have enough gold in your treasury.
