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.
Island Mythril Ore Location in FFXIV
To farm Mythril Ore through mining, you must have a Miner at level 31 or higher. The ore spawns in the southeast corner of Southern Thanalan at coordinates X:25.5; Y:40.7. Hab will guard this area for you, so you don’t have to worry about monsters.
