Best farming routes on the Ore, Coal & Sulfur Map

Routes here are built around node and spawn density rather than distance. Windswept Hills is the anchor: The default spawn plateau and home of the first Syndicate Tower. Flat build sites, three ore clusters and every early work-suitability Pal spawn here.

Key takeaways
  • Resource priorities
  • Base placement
  • Travel loadout
  • Time-of-day swaps

Resource priorities

Windswept Hills — Ore, Wood, Stone, Red Berry Seeds · Verdant Brook — Coal, Ore, Bamboo, Skill Fruit Trees · Mount Obsidian — Sulfur, Coal, Ore, Ancient Civilization Parts · Twilight Dunes — Ore, Sulfur, Quartz, Bones · Feybreak — Hexolite Quartz, Chromite, Ancient Civilization Parts

Base placement

Place a Palbox so the maximum number of nodes falls inside the build radius, then assign Mining and Lumbering Pals. A stationary base out-farms a running route by a wide margin because Pals work while you are elsewhere.

Travel loadout

Carry a flier for crossing water, a ground mount for node runs, and one Transporting Pal so loot auto-banks into your chests instead of forcing early returns.

Time-of-day swaps

Several regions swap their spawn tables after dusk — desert and dark-element Pals in particular — so run the same route twice at different times before deciding a Pal is missing.

Efficiency check

If a loop takes longer than ten minutes, split it into two shorter loops around separate statues. Fast-travel hops are free and cost no stamina.
