How to Get Alexandrian Ore in FFXIV

Miners have lots of materials to deal with in Final Fantasy XIV, and there is yet another one to collect. The new Alexandrian Ore is a valuable new material that is quite the challenge to acquire. Find out where and how to get Alexandrian Ore in FFXIV, the best ways to obtain it, and what exactly you use it for.

Best Ways to Get Alexandrian Ore in FFXIV, Explained

There are two main ways to get Alexandrian Ore at this time. There is the more challenging and time-extensive method, but it doesn’t cost much. That method is to mine the ore yourself. You can do this by heading to the following location in Living Memory:

• Alexandrian Ore: Level 100 One Star Mining Spot at Living Memory (The Knowable) X: 9.2, Y: 15.2

Unfortunately, this spot is only available from 6-8 p.m. or a.m. in Eorzea Time. You also need Perception of 4540 or higher to mine for it. Alternatively, your other option is to simply buy Alexandrian Ore off of the Market Board. This price will vary depending on your world, so it could end up being expensive this way but much easier to obtain.

What to Use Alexandrian Ore for

Once you have your hands on some Alexandrian Ore, there are a couple of different uses for it in FFXIV. The first is to sell the ore yourself on the Market Board if you mined for it. Ore is a great way to make some quick cash since crafters often need a ton of it for crafting recipes. The other use is to use Alexandrian Ore for crafting.

As of right now, there is only a single crafting recipe that uses Alexandrian Ore at this time and that is the Level 100 Armorer Alexandrian Plate crafting recipe. This can be used to craft some of the high-level gear for various jobs. But you will need Master Armorer XI to be able to make it.

Final Fantasy XIV is available right now for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
