i checked the forge and all the other stuff but it seems theres no option to make ingots, do i need some tool to be able to do this?

you need to use a smelter

Also, the first smelter you'll run across is in Whiterun, not Riverwood.

is there one in riverwood?

that would be a no

ah alright thanks man

How do you mine and where do you find ores?!

Get a pickaxe (Alvor in Riverwood sells them, and you can find them in many other places as well.) and look for rocks with ore-colors mixed in, and mine them. Find an abandoned mine and you're sure to find some ore, but they're spread out all over the world as well.

How do i make ingots?..

I put the ore into the smelter.. and NOTHING happens... i dont get it.

It works exactly like the leather station thing
