Aquamirae: Exploring the Ice Maze and Ship Graveyard
Aquamirae turns the frozen ocean into a self-contained adventure: a labyrinth of ice called the Ice Maze on the surface, and a sunken Ship Graveyard in the darkness below it. This guide covers what to gather first and the gear that gets you started.
The frozen ocean
The Ice Maze rises above the water as a maze of ice walls dotted with small surface structures, while the wrecks and horrors of the Ship Graveyard wait beneath. Most of Aquamirae's materials and loot come from exploring these two layers, so a boat, some warm preparation, and a light source are worth bringing.
Key materials
A handful of resources drive nearly every recipe in the mod:
Ship Graveyard Echo — the salvage currency of the wrecks, used in armor, tools and utility items.
Abyssal Amethyst — the high-tier crafting gem behind the Abyssal equipment line.
Oxyhelium and 
Esca — used for lights and food.
Fin and 
Angler Fang — dropped materials that feed the Terrible equipment line.
Salvager armor
Your first dedicated set is the Salvager armor, made from leather, iron and salvage. Craft 
Salvager Boots from two Iron Ingot and two Ship Graveyard Echo, 
Salvager Waders from two Ship Graveyard Echo, three Leather and two Iron Ingot, and the 
Salvager Suit from three Leather, three Iron Ingot and two Ship Graveyard Echo. It is an accessible mid-tier set that eases exploration before you commit to the Abyssal or Terrible lines.
Light and food
Two Oxyhelium, one Esca and two Stick make a 
Luminescent Lamp for marking your path through the maze, and four Oxyhelium with one Esca yields a stack of 
Luminescent Bubble. For food, a 
Sea Stew combines two Oxyhelium, a Fin, three 
Cooked Spinefish and a Bowl.
