So I my main is a cloth wearer, with mining.
I also have my garrison mine, and combined I'm getting a lot of ore. I don't plan on using a forge, since I'm a clothie.
I would like to get rid of my trading post, so that makes me wonder what I can use all of this ore for. What other buildings would use it? Alchemy? Engineering?
Edit: Even if I kept my trading post, it would not get rid of my ore fast enough. I only get to dump ore into it every 4th or 5th day.
