Lead Ore is an early-game ore that generates upon world creation on the surface, as well as in the Underground and Cavern layer. Its primary use is in crafting Lead Bars, which can then be used to craft the Lead tier of tools, weapons, and armor, as well as Buckets, Chains, and several other items. The equivalent of Lead Ore is Iron Ore, which will sometimes replace Lead in a world. (Desktop, Console, Mobile and 3DS versions) Lead Ore has a small chance to appear as a bonus drop from slimes.

As Lead Bars are required to craft the Lead Anvil, Lead Ore is usually obtained before any tools, weapons, or armor can be crafted from bars. While this can be circumvented by purchasing an Iron Anvil from the Merchant, that is generally inefficient, as it is not difficult to find 15 Lead Ore early on in the game.
