Ore in Final Fantasy XIV is one of the most important crafting components for several of the crafting jobs. Ore is used by Armorers, Blacksmiths, Alchemists, and in a limited capacity by almost every single job.
But finding all those ores can sometimes be a thankless task. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of all the ores in Final Fantasy 14 and where exactly to find them.
Help, I can't find the node/ore location!
In certain cases a node or ore will not appear. In this case you will need to acquire the Tome of Geological Folklore for the area. These tomes, purchased for Gatherer's Scrips, will reveal hidden ore locations to you.
Not a Miner?
You don't have to be a miner to gather all of these ores. Some are available through Levequests, can be bought from high-level vendors, or can be found on the Market Board. But for the easiest (and cheapest) way to gather ore, it's best level up that Miner and gather your own!
