One of Final Fantasy XIV’s most intensive and profitable pastimes is crafting and gathering, and just as there are countless items to find and craft throughout the game, there are equally countless materials that go into the recipes for those crafts. For any connoisseur of the needle or hammer, knowing how and where to get the best materials for the latest gear is especially important. One such one is Adamantite Ore, which goes into a number of different recipes. If you’re wondering where exactly to find it, here is our handy guide for where to find Adamantite Ore in FFXIV.
How to Get Adamantite Ore in FFXIV
As with any other rock and mineral in the game, to gather Adamantite Ore you’ll need a Miner job leveled up to at least 60 to see and access the nodes where it’s located. Once you have that situated, you can find this particular ore in the Azys Lla area. Teleport to the Helix aetheryte, hop on a mount and fly immediately northeast to the rocky island at the north-center of the map (X: 23.8, Y:5.5).
The Level 60 unspoiled node will spawn at one of two times:
- 0:00 – 2:00AM ET (Eorzea Time)
- 12:00 – 4:00 PM ET (Eorzea Time)
With your pickaxe ready, you should be able to get a handful of Adamantite Ores from this location. Remember to use abilities like Solid Reason (grants another gathering attempt), Bountiful Yield (increases amount gathered by 1), or King’s Yield I or II (increases amount gathered by 1 or 2) to increase your odds of getting more per strike.
What Is Adamantite Ore Used For in FFXIV
If you have a Blacksmith or Armorer at Level 58 or higher, you can mold your gathered Adamantite Ore into Adamantite Nuggets and Ingots, which can then be used for a wide variety of crafted items. Not only can you make Adamantite gear, weapons, and tools with it, you can also craft a number of decorative furnishings for your in-game apartment or home. They include:
- Gordian Bureau (indoor furnishing) (Master Carpenter III recipe)
- Savage Gordian Bureau (indoor furnishing) (Master Carpenter III recipe)
- Gordian Chair (indoor furnishing) (Master Armorer III recipe)
- Savage Gordian Chair (indoor furnishing) (Master Armorer III recipe)
- Expanse Fountain (outdoor furnishing) (Master Goldsmith III recipe)
- Boundless Expanse Fountain (outdoor furnishing) (Master Goldsmith III recipe)
- Pudding Floor Lamp (indoor furnishing) (Master Blacksmith IV recipe)
Also, if you enjoy dressing up your Company Chocobo, you can also use your Adamantite Ore to craft the Hive Barding (Master Armorer III recipe).
