Efficient Farming Methods for Gold Ore
Desert Farming Route is Recommended
| Steps | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Enter the Desert and run around the outer perimeter |
| 2. | Check the gathering points (★) that appear along the way |
| 3. | If you don't have enough, go to the Eastern Road |
| 4. | Return to the Desert from the Eastern Road and repeat steps 1-3 until you have enough |

Gold Ore can be obtained by chance from gathering points. The locations of these points change randomly when you enter/exit an area or save/load, so be patient and keep running through the area.
Aerie Save/Reload Farming is Also an Option
| Steps | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Enter the Aerie and save at the save point |
| 2. | Check all the gathering points (★) |
| 3. | If you didn't get Gold Ore Select Load from the options menu and return to step 1. If you got Gold Ore - If you have enough, you're done. - If you don't have enough, move to the Northern Plains and return to step 1. |
Select Load from Options -> Other
When farming in the Aerie, use the save and load functions. Saving and loading will reset the contents of the gathering points, allowing you to collect Gold Ore more time-efficiently.
