How To Get & Use Gold Ore In LEGO Fortnite
Gold Ore is an essential crafting resource in LEGO , but it can be surprisingly difficult to find. In the latest Lost Isles update, players need Gold Ore to smelt Gold Bars to use in several new crafting recipes. New items and weapons, such as the Explorer's Machete and Pirate Musket, all require Gold Bars to craft, so players exploring this new territory will want to find Gold Ore quickly.
To visit the Lost Isles, players need to build or find a Battle Bus Station for fast travel. The Lost Isles are instantly accessible from any Battle Bus Station and feature several new and interesting biomes and ecosystems for players to explore.

To save time, the best approach is to head for Floating Islands: they're much easier to spot and can be reached using Geysers and a Glider.
The easiest way I found to reach Floating Islands was to stand on a Geyser and use it to launch into the air. Deploying a Glider allows you to slow your descent and glide between Floating Islands to mine Ore. An expensive alternative involves building and flying a Balloon Platform.
Gold Ore can be processed into Gold Bars at a Metal Smelter workbench. Each Gold Bar requires two Gold Ore and a Torch to
