Want to know where to find Refined Quartz in Stardew Valley? When playing Stardew Valley, we’ll need a lot of resources because most of the game is about crafting. For instance, you need a fishing rod if you want to fish. Likewise, Refined Quartz is essential for batteries and solar panels. This material is not rare as Fire Quartz but is much more valuable than Quartz. Accordingly, we’ll explain how to find Refined Quartz in Stardew Valley.
Where To Find Refined Quartz in Stardew Valley
Refined Quartz is a small purple material you can create or find as you progress through the game. You will likely need this material in the mid to late game, so you should stock up as much as possible. And despite the value of this material, here are a few ways thanks to which you can get Refined Quartz in Stardew Valley:
- This resource may rarely drop out of crystals in The Mines at levels 41-79. Also, you can get Refined Quartz from the ghosts at levels 51-90, but the chance of dropping out of this resource is negligible.
- Another source is the Recycling Machine. To create Refined Quartz, we need Broken CDs or Broken Glasses. You can find these items in trash cans or fish in any body of water at any time of year.
- Refined Quartz is craftable. To do this, you need a Furnace, 1 Quartz, and 1 Charcoal. Melting time takes 1.5 in-game hours. Also, there is an option that uses Fire Quartz instead of Quartz. In this way, you get 3 Refined Quartz instead of 1.
- This mineral resource can fall out with a little chance from the trash garbage cans after we get the blueprint of the Smelting Furnace from Clint.
- In the Skull Cavern, mining Refined Quartz is quite dangerous because the location is teeming with monsters. We need to find the Carbon Ghosts from which we get the desired materials. It drops with a 10% chance.
