How to get Pandorium Ore (Fishing, Chests & pedestals, Breakable objects)

Fishing (1) Chests & pedestals (1) Breakable objects (3)

SourceTypeBiomeAmountChance
Fishing in The Passage (non-fish catches) Fishing The Passage 1 20%
Cultist Chest Chests & pedestals The Desert of Beginnings 5–10 92.4%
Pandorium Crystal Breakable objects The Passage 1–2 Guaranteed
Oasis Flower Vessel Breakable objects The Desert of Beginnings 1 20%

There are also sources whose in-game name has not been confirmed yet (Breakable objects: 1).

"Chance" is the chance to get at least one of this item per try (opening one chest, defeating one enemy, one catch). A "guaranteed group" is the group of a chest or boss from which exactly one item always drops; it does not mean this item always drops (the chance of it being picked from that group is shown in small text). Only items that always drop are marked "Guaranteed". Fishing means catches with a fishing rod, separate from enemy and boss drops. Calculated from the game's drop tables (Conf/Loot, 1.3.0.6) the same way the game rolls them.
