Recommended Ore Farming Route

Start From the Ore Cave

The recommended route for gathering ores in Windward Plains starts from the upper camp 'Mineral Cave,' where there is a Mining Outcrop, and progresses through the middle-layer area. Once you've gathered ores from the Mining Outcrop in Area 2, fast travel to the camp in Area 6, 'Valley Hideaway.'

All Camp Locations

Travel From Area 5 to Area 3

To reach the Mining Outcrop in Area 3 (middle layer) from Area 5 (above layer), ride your Seikret and jump down. After the jump, use Glide to land smoothly.

How to Gather Ore & Respawn Times

Obtain From Mining Ore Veins

Ore materials can be obtained from ore veins that appear in the field. By opening the map, you can view their locations. Using the icon filter to select ore veins will highlight them for easier identification. Additionally, setting a destination for an ore vein will have your Seikret automatically take you there.

Ore Vein Respawn Time: 15 Minutes

After mining, the ore vein becomes temporarily unavailable. However, it will respawn after 15 minutes. You can check the respawn time on the map.

Ore Respawns After Returning From a Quest

Ore veins will immediately respawn after accepting and returning from a quest. You can return from a quest via the 'Mission/Quest' menu.

Obtainable as Quest Rewards

You can sometimes obtain ore materials as quest rewards. These types of ores and their drop rates vary depending on the quest.
