Where To Find Copper Ore

Learn exactly where to find Copper Ore in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker's Island Sanctuary. Get the coordinates and tips you need to farm this essential crafting material.

Alright, so you're looking to get your hands on some Copper Ore in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, huh? It's a pretty common material you'll need for crafting, especially once you get into the Island Sanctuary. Don't worry, I'll walk you through exactly where to find it and what you need to do first.

Getting Started: Reach Sanctuary Rank 4

Before you can even think about mining Copper Ore, you need to progress through the Island Sanctuary's main story quests, called Visions. Focus on completing quests like 'The Coziest of Cabins,' 'Top Crops,' 'Adorable Animals,' and 'A Workshop of Wonders.' These will teach you the basics of farming, animal care, and building, and they give a ton of Island EXP. Hitting Rank 4 with these should be pretty straightforward.

Crafting the Islekeeps Stone Hammer

Once you've hit Sanctuary Rank 4, your next big goal is to craft the Islekeeps Stone Hammer. This is your key to mining Copper Ore, Limestone, and Rock Salt. You'll need the following materials:

• 3 Island Stones
• 2 Island Logs
• 4 Bundles of Island Vine

Here's where to find those:

• Bundles of Island Vine: Look for Sugarcane and Island Apple plants scattered around the Pristine Pond area. Just interact with them to gather the vines.
• Island Stones: You'll find these by interacting with Smooth White Rocks. The best spot to find them is near the Northward Stream, specifically around coordinates [X: 18.4, Y: 23.0].
• Island Logs: These come from Tualong and Mahogany Trees. They're located between the Pristine Pond and the Eastward Stream. You'll also find Bluish Rocks in The Wilds that yield Island Logs – just head to the marked location and mine them.

After you've gathered everything, open your Island Sanctuary menu, go to the 'Sanctuary Crafting Log,' and select 'Islekeeps Stone Hammer' under the 'Tools' section. Once it's crafted, you're ready to mine!

Where to Find Copper Ore

With your shiny new Islekeeps Stone Hammer in hand, you can finally head out into The Wilds to find Copper Ore. There are two main spots you'll want to check:

• Location 1: Head between the Gentle Slope and Pirate Bay. The Bluish Rocks you need to mine are located around coordinates [X: 17.0, Y: 14.6].
• Location 2: Alternatively, make your way to the Peak Point area. You'll find more Bluish Rocks scattered around [X: 30.7, Y: 28.4].

If you're planning a big farming session, the best strategy is to hop between these two locations. This way, you can keep mining while waiting for the ore nodes to respawn at the other spot. Happy mining!
