Fae Farm: Complete Guide To Mining (2024)

With plenty to do out in Azoria as you play through Fae Farm, you’ll find yourself in the game’s dungeons hunting for resources before long. A steady source of every rock, ore, and gemstone you’ll need, mining in the game’s dungeons requires a bit of preparation beforehand and plenty of hard work inside.

But mining offers access to brand new resources, some of them quite valuable if you’re looking to earn a few extra Florins. Primarily used in construction projects and for trades, ore and gemstones are critical to your Fae Farm experience, so here’s where to find them all.

Updated on June 24, 2024: With both the Coasts of Croakia and Skies of Azoria DLC out now for Fae Farm, we're updating our Mining guide for the game to include information about the resources added in the DLC, as well as more info on how to use your ores in Fae Farm.

What Are Ores And Gemstones?

As you work your way through the mystical happenings in Azoria when you first begin playing Fae Farm, your initial exposure to mining is clearing rocks from your Homestead. It's a solid introduction to how to use your pickax to break up rock clusters - something you'll be doing a good amount of once you begin diving into the game's dungeons.

When you do, you'll discover all sorts of ore nodes containing different metals, as well as gemstone nodes in various colors and materials that produce a rainbow of gems. There are also Coal and Clay rocks to be found, which are less-noticeable rounder, dark rocks than the ones that produce Stone.

Each dungeon has its own set of ores and gems available, so you'll be going back and forth quite a bit if you find yourself needing more. There are two ores and four gemstones in each dungeon, offering quite the spread of resources. Naturally, rarer and more expensive resources are late-game grabs, so don't worry too much until you begin progressing through Fae Farm's story.

You'll need to upgrade your pickax consistently to keep up with your work, though, as tougher ores require more hits, and some may not break if your pickax isn't strong enough. You'll run into this fairly early on when Cleo instructs you through Saltwater Mines in Chapter Three, occasionally requesting tool upgrades before she lets you continue.

Like with the rest of your tools, visit Cinder the Blacksmith to upgrade as necessary. She'll offer two tool upgrades per dungeon throughout the main story in Fae Farm, and you'll want the upgrades before long in the progressively more difficult dungeons.

Plenty of ores and gemstones will be required to make assorted seals you'll need to keep progress through dungeons open and fast travel across the region, so be mindful to keep some on hand. Each region tends to use the gemstones and ore found in the dungeon in that region, so it's not a bad idea to keep some of everything in your storage.

Every Mining Resource: Gems, Ores, And More

In the table below, we've kept track of all the mining resources you can collect in Fae Farm. We've pinned down which floors of the dungeons you can find these resources in, as well as any enemies that may also drop them.
