Extracting Morkite Seeds

Learn how to find and extract Morkite, a primary objective in Deep Rock Galactic's Mining Expeditions. Understand its appearance, locations, and importance for your missions.

Alright, Miner! So you've drawn the short straw and got a Mining Expedition or a Deep Dive with an "Extract Morkite" objective. Don't worry, it's one of the most common tasks you'll face, and Morkite itself is pretty straightforward. Think of it as the bread and butter of mining. ### What is Morkite? Morkite is a basic, primary objective mineral in Deep Rock Galactic. You'll see it a lot, especially in Mining Expeditions where you need to gather a specific amount, usually between 200 and 400 units. It also shows up as an objective in Deep Dives. ### Finding Morkite This shiny, dark teal mineral can be found in any Planetary Region on Hoxxes during Mining Expeditions. Keep an eye out in the dark caves; Morkite has a distinct gleam that can help you spot it from a distance. It actually spawns a bit more often than Nitra, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding it. ### How to Extract Morkite Once you find Morkite deposits, you'll mine them like any other resource. The key thing to remember is that Morkite, like most resources, needs to be deposited into the M.U.L.E. to count towards your mission quota. So, mine it, call the M.U.L.E. when you need to, and dump those Morkite chunks in! ### Quick Facts: * Type: Primary Objective Resource * Hardness: 1 (Brittle) * Rarity: Common * Value: 1 Experience Point per unit ### Trivia Time: * The name "Morkite" comes from the Danish word 'Mørk' (Darkness) and 'ite' (like stalactite), essentially meaning "The Dark Mineral". * There's a drink in the Abyss Bar called "Dark Morkite" which, since Update 18: "Job Opportunities", actually boosts the Morkite you mine by 20%. Handy! * It looks a bit like a real-world mineral called Dioptase, which is also a brittle, dark teal mineral. So, there you have it. Morkite is your reliable friend in the mines. Just keep your eyes peeled, mine smart, and deposit often. Rock and Stone!
