How to get Zinc Ore in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Zinc Ore can be obtained by collecting ore deposits in the Corel region. These deposits, which contain Zinc Ore, are most frequently found on Mount Corel and in the area beyond the Golden Saucer.

Your trusty Chocobo may also occasionally discover Zinc Ore by sniffing out dig spots and pecking at them. Defeating certain enemy types in Corel can also yield Zinc Ore, with those encountered on Mount Corel being particularly likely to drop it.

If you’re aiming to craft items that require Zinc Ore using the Transmuter, ensure you’ve completed the story segment in Costa del Sol. This progression will allow you to explore the Corel region. To expedite your journey in Costa del Sol, explore hidden Cactuar locations and solve puzzles in the Card Carnival.

While Zinc is abundant on Mount Corel, if you need it before venturing there as part of the story, consider exploring the area around the abandoned factory located in northern Corel. Additional deposits can be found near the Sunrise Plateau Cache, on both sides of the waterfall. Following the roads in the Corel section near Costa del Sol and investigating Corel Caches will generally help you find Zinc Ore earlier.

It’s important to note that the yields from ore deposits are randomized; thus, Zinc Ore can be relatively rare in this area. You may collect Zinc Ore from one deposit and return to find only Iron Ore from another. This makes Mount Corel particularly advantageous for Zinc collection due to the sheer number of ore deposits available.

Look for a bangle-like symbol above resources, indicating the presence of ore or gem deposits. Gold-coloured bangle symbols signify rare gems or deposits like Gold Dust.

If you’re in search of Zinc Ore for the The Saga of the Seaside Inn quest, you’ll be pleased to know that Amethysts can also be found by gathering materials marked with bangle symbols in Corel. Amethysts are abundant on Mount Corel but can also occasionally be discovered in treasure chests or by having your Chocobo sniff out dig spots.

What is Zinc Ore used for in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

As you advance through Transmuter Ranks and unlock Excavation Intel sites, the uses for Zinc Ore will expand. However, up to the first Corel region at rank seven, you will need Zinc Ore to craft:

• Fortress Bracer
• Star Pendant
• Boiler Valve

The Boiler Valve is necessary to progress with The Saga of the Seaside Inn side quest. You can unlock the Boiler Valve’s recipe by excavating it from the abandoned factory after gathering enough Lifesprings to obtain Excavation Intel for that location.

Best of luck in your search for Zinc Ore in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth!
