Where is the best place to farm Chromite in Palworld?

Scorched Hill in central Feybreak, with 40 of the 238 Chromite pins. Central Feybreak as a whole holds 167. Use a Metal Detector, unlocked at Technology 58.

Can you automate Hexolite Quartz?

Yes. The Hexolite Quartz Mine produces it at your base. It unlocks at Ancient Technology 62 for 5 Ancient points and needs a strong Mining Pal. Chromite has no equivalent structure.

Which expedition gives Hexolite Quartz?

Feybreak (Hard) at the Pal Expedition Station returns 10-20 Hexolite Quartz. The normal Feybreak expedition returns 30-50 Chromite instead.

Hexolite Quartz Locations in Palworld: Feybreak Map Clusters

Quick answer

Only on Feybreak. PalSphere plots 349 pins. The densest zone is central Feybreak with 120, and the biggest single cluster is Crimson Cliffs on the east side with 25.

PalSphere plots 349 Hexolite Quartz pins and 238 Chromite pins, and almost all of them sit on Feybreak. The trick is knowing which landmarks hold both, so one lap fills the furnace.

Hexolite Quartz is the rainbow crystal the item text calls a rare crystal found only in Feybreak. Our interactive map plots 349 Hexolite Quartz pins, and 333 of them sit around named Feybreak landmarks. The last 16 trail off the island's southern edge toward Azure Cliffs, Amethyst Outcrop, and Exile's Cape. Chromite, the other half of every Hexolite bar, has 238 pins, and every one of them is on Feybreak too.

That makes this a one-island farm. The real question is where on Feybreak to stand, because the two ores do not spread the same way. Quartz is scattered over the whole island. Chromite is packed into the middle. The clusters below come from grouping every pin by its nearest fast travel point, so you can fly straight to the dense ones.

Hexolite Quartz

349 pins · Open map

A rare crystal found only in Feybreak. Over many years, Paladium has condensed and transformed, now shining with a rainbow-like glow.

Chromite

238 pins · Open map

A type of metal buried underground. It can be detected with a Metal Detector on certain islands.

Hexolite

One lap · Open map

An alloy of Chromite and Hexolite Quartz. Used for building advanced equipment and structures. Can be refined at Gigantic Furnace.

Hexolite Quartz Mine

Ancient Tech 62

Facility for producing Rainbow Crystals. Digging Rainbow Crystals is grueling physical work. Leave it to a Pal that is good at mining.

Each tile opens the map with only that layer turned on.

Hexolite Quartz clusters by landmark

The core of the island holds 120 Quartz pins and 167 Chromite pins. This is the only zone where both ores are dense, so start every lap here.

Scorched Hill: 17 Quartz, 40 Chromite. The best Chromite spot on the map.
Crimson Labyrinth: 21 Quartz, 26 Chromite.
Scarlet Outlook: 21 Quartz, 22 Chromite.
Crystallized Great Tree: 15 Quartz, 22 Chromite.
Shield Dragon Tunnel: 13 Quartz, 21 Chromite.
Stone Pillar Cave Entrance: 17 Quartz, 18 Chromite.
Hidden Passage to the Oculus Gate: 16 Quartz, 18 Chromite.

Where Chromite fits on the same lap

Chromite is buried. The item text says you detect it with a Metal Detector, which unlocks at Technology 58 for 3 points.
Seven central landmarks hold 70 percent of all Chromite pins, 167 of 238.
Quartz is visible, so grab it on the way while the detector does the Chromite work.
Because each bar needs one of each, a lap that returns 40 Quartz and 10 Chromite only makes 10 Hexolite.

Farm route, step by step

1. Unlock the Metal Detector and the Gigantic Furnace, both at Technology 58.
2. Open the combined map link so both layers show at once.
3. Fast travel to Scorched Hill. Clear its 40 Chromite and 17 Quartz pins.
4. Work outward through Crimson Labyrinth, Scarlet Outlook, and Crystallized Great Tree.
5. Finish at Shield Dragon Tunnel or Stone Pillar Cave Entrance, then fly home and smelt.
6. If Quartz is short, add Crimson Cliffs or The Oculus Gate, Tower in Sight on the next lap.

Mining base plan and best Mining Pals

The Hexolite Quartz Mine is a base structure that produces Hexolite Quartz for you. It unlocks at Ancient Technology 62 for 5 Ancient points. Its description says digging the crystals is grueling physical work, so leave it to a Pal that is good at mining. There is no matching structure for Chromite, so that half stays a manual detector lap.

Put the mine, a Quartz chest, and the Gigantic Furnace next to each other so haulers walk a few steps.
Staff the mine with your highest Mining Pal and add a second miner once the chest keeps emptying.
Add one strong Transport Pal. Crystals and bars pile up fast.
Keep a Kindling Pal on the furnace so Quartz from the mine turns into bars while you run Chromite laps.
Top up both ores with the Pal Expedition Station (Technology 22). Feybreak (Hard) returns 10-20 Hexolite Quartz. Feybreak returns 30-50 Chromite and Feybreak (Hard) returns 10-20.

Common mistakes

Farming the west for Chromite. Deserted Ash Plateau and Oilfield Overlook have none.
Hunting Quartz on the main islands. The item text says Feybreak only, and the map agrees.
Mining Quartz for hours without the detector. Every extra Quartz waits on a Chromite.
Staffing the Hexolite Quartz Mine with whoever is free. Its own description asks for a Pal that is good at mining.
Scrolling the map sidebar for the right layer. The links on this page open the correct filter directly.

Quick answers

Island: Feybreak only.
Densest Quartz: Crimson Cliffs (25 pins).
Densest Chromite: Scorched Hill (40 pins).
Best shared stop: Crimson Labyrinth or Scarlet Outlook, over 20 of each.
Passive source: Hexolite Quartz Mine at Ancient Technology 62.
