While getting through your Island Sanctuary Gathering log, you might find the need to pinpoint the best location to farm Island Mythril Ore in FFXIV. Most Final Fantasy XIV players haven’t been keeping up with our Island Sanctuaries. And that’s fine — there’s much bigger stuff for us to idle away in this paradise. Still, patch 6.4 might have brought you back to the game just to get some of the best mounts and minions. If that’s the case, you’ll have to clear your Gathering Log, which includes finding Mythril Ore.
