Refined Metal is quite hard to find inDredge, but it is also an extremely crucial material to get to the endgame. Refined Metal is the only material you will need to fully upgrade your hull, giving youfar more storage than you can otherwise have. This makes it extremely important to find it as quickly as possible.
Materials inDredgeoften have to be found by fishing, dredging, or buying them from traders. There are multiple locations where this can be done for refined metal, but it is a much rarer material than others. To find it, players must search every island group as thoroughly as possible.

Where To Find Metal In Dredge
Traveling Trader
The best and most consistent way to find Refined Metal isthrough the traveling merchant. They can be found in every archipelago, including Twisted Strand, Devil’s Spine, Stellar Basin, and Gale Cliffs. This is the easiest way to find it, but this alsocosts $500 every time to your potential detriment. This can make it hard to fulfill the requirements and takes away from other necessary upgrades and parts, such asengines inDredge.
You canonly buy 1 Refined Metalat a time from the Traveling Merchant before she has to restock. This limits the amount you can buy.
However, you’re able to also find it in the wild among the various islands. This makes it difficult, as many of them can only be foundbehind obstacles that must be removed using explosives. You have to complete Gale Cliffs’ quest line before buying them, but once you do, they can bepurchased from Ingfell.
Eitherstore the Refined Metal until you’re able to use it or immediately put it in the appropriate slotso you can add the materials ahead of time. If your hull gets damaged while you have it onboard, don’t expect to see it when you get to port.
However, two main spots existto find Refined Metal without needing explosives. The first is in Stellar Basin, which you can find by completing a treasure map and opening the chest it leads you to. This can be found in the C3 section of the map. The second is in Gale Cliffs, located behind a waterfall you can sail through. You will needsix total Refined Metalsto complete your upgrades inDredge,fully expand your hull, and start looking for other items, such asMessages in Bottles.
