(I added additional information to the "Origin of the name" section. "Nor" is most likely not "fire" in Sindarin, but it could be a variation of several other words. If this change is sufficient, the template should be removed.)

Revision as of 19:01, 28 May 2020

This feature is present in: Renewed, Legacy.
This was known as Durnaur in the Legacy version, but is now known as Durnor.

Durnor is a gem which can be obtained by mining Durnor ore in Mordor. When mined, the ore will drop 1-2 gems.

Uses

Durnor has a number of crafting uses on the Morgul crafting table, including making Orc torches, which then can be used to ignite bombs. Also, crafting nine together on a vanilla crafting table gives you a Durnor block.

As of Public Beta 29 Durnor blocks and gems can be used as fuel in any type of forge. A gem can smelt/cook 3 items per slot, whereas a block processes 30 items per slot.

Durnor can be sold to Mordor Orc traders for a small amount of silver coins. In addition, Durnor can be alloyed with Orc Steel ingots or Morgul Iron ore to produce Black Uruk Steel. Due to this, Durnor gems are thus a very useful resource for all players in the Mordor faction.

Durnor is also used to make Rhûnic Fire-pots and Khamûl's Fire. For both items, you will need to combine Durnor with Gunpowder and Gilded Iron ingots on a Rhûnic crafting table.

Origin of the name

Although Durnor is a non-canon addition and does not appear in Tolkien's work, the name is in Sindarin, one of the Elvish languages. Dur means "dark" in Sindarin, and nor is a variation of naur (meaning "fire"). The end result is Durnor, which stands for "dark fire", due to the red-orange colour of the gems and the dark land where it is found.

Trivia

Prior to Public Beta 30 it was called "Naurite".
