If you’ve played any farming games likeRune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma, you likely already know the importance of having the right tools and gear. These items not only make the job easier for you in the early stages, but also let you progress to further areas where the mobs are much higher level.

However, to get these tools in the game, you’ll have to farm different types of ore in specific places. Thankfully, stacking up on a bunch of ore isn’t hard as long as you know where you’re looking, but you’ll have to progress the story quite a bit to unlock some of them.

Every Ore And Its Location

There are a total of seven types of ore that you may find in Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma,starting from Iron and going all the way up to the Dragonic Stone. While some of the high-tier ore might not be as useful for crafting items, they can be a great way to rack up some money, and here’s how you can get them:

Iron

Iron is the base ore you can find in the game, and you can easily farm it from various ore locations as soon as youhead to the outskirts of Spring Village called Spring Highlands. The nodes for this ore have black bits sticking out of them.

Bronze

You’ll quickly upgrade from the Iron Ore as youprogress through the main story and reach the Summer Village. The brown-colored Bronze ore can be farmed abundantly on the outskirts of this village.

Silver

As you might already expect, the third variety of ore can be found in high numbers byexploring the Autumn Village outskirts and paying attention to the ore markerson the map.

Gold

While you might start getting some gold in chests and while farming silver nodes in the Winter Village, you’ll only start getting propergold nodes once you reach the Forgotten Grove arealooking for Astral Shrines.

Platinum

As you continue to progress through the main story, you’ll eventually reach the Underworld area. You canstart finding white-colored platinum ore deposits from here.

Lustrous Gem

You’ll get some red-colored Lustrous Gems as you break different nodes, but you’ll only start getting theirspecific deposit in the Rakshasa Gorgeafter defeating the first couple of bosses.

Dragonic Stone

Finally, to get the last ore deposit in the game, you’ll also have to reach the last area in the main story called the Dragon’s Tomb. you may find it there with cyan-colored deposits.

Outside of these locations, you may also find every oredeposit by visiting the Isle of Ore in the skies.

How To Find Gemstones

As you play through the story of Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma, you might stumble upon some gemstones like Amber, Aquamarine, andsome others randomly as you open chests or give gifts to other villagers. However, there’s no place you can simply go and farm these items.

Instead,you first have to create a high-tier hammer to break the ore. As you make a better tool, your chances of getting gemstone drops while mining normal ore deposits increase. This chance will further increase based on the type of ore you’re mining. For example, you can get multiple gemstones every time you hit the Dragonic Stone deposit with a high-tier hammer.
