Dwarven Ore - Daggerfall Covenant

So, working my way through the game, happily making my own equipment up to Orichalcum/Beech/Cotton and then suddenly...

I have hundreds of Orichalcum ore/ingots and 13 Dwarven Ore. I harvest every node I see, so... this is a bit disconcerting. I've looked in to the Bangkorai area, but it starts with Ebony, so I'm confused. In The Alik'r Desert, I rarely see Dwarven Ore, having scoured the entire zone many times. It's all just Orichalcum.

Where is all the Dwarven Ore for us Daggerfall Covenant folks?

As an alternative, I went out and farmed humanoids for items to deconstruct. Problem is, level 36 creatures drop.. yep, you guessed it, orichalcum/beech/cotton, not dwarven/hickory/spidersilk. And of course, fighting for an hour (no deaths) nets me a 1k+ repair bill, which is really not enjoyable.

Am I the only one with this problem, or is there an easy solution I'm missing? Should I just wear my 50% effective damaged gear and smile?

    I've seen Dwarven Ore and Spidersilk in Bangorak, east of Stormhaven.

    I haven't been paying too much attention to Hickory though.

    you can find hickory easy by stalking the palm trees in alikr.

    as for dwarven, try rivinspire or northern bankorai, i think, more of a clothier myself.

    Hm, I've only see high iron/orich in Rivenspire, so far, maybe they swapped ebony in the south for dwarven in the north, in error, in Bankorai? I'll check the north half today.

    like i said, im more of a clothier, i dont really look for metals. if anything you should give alikr another look. i found most of my stuff near trees on the side of the road, so maybe it works that way with metal, check around rocks near the road.

    Yeah, I've checked the entire Alik'r desert, coastline, rocks, dunes, oasis, everything. maybe 1 in 20 is dwarven ore, and I'm probably being generous.

    In Alik'r, I think I mostly found Orichalchum and like you said, once in a while, a Dwarven Ore.

    Similar kinda deal in Bangkorai (sp?), usually Dwarven, once in a while, Ebony.

    Tons of dwarven ore in Bangkorai. Tons of it, especially in the southern parts.

    I haven not been to Bangkorai yet but I found more Dwarven Ore in Rivenspire than I did in Alik'r. By the time I reached Alik'r I had a few hundred Orichalchum ingots and about 50 Dwarven ingots. I'm about 2/3 finished with the Alik'r quests now but I have travelled the entire map farming ore and have gathered tons more Orichalchum but only ~10-15 Dwarven ore. That seems backwards to me.
