Hexolite Quartz + Chromite: Feybreak Farm to Furnace
Quick answer
At a Gigantic Furnace, smelt 1 Chromite plus 1 Hexolite Quartz into 1 Hexolite. Unlock the furnace and Metal Detector around Technology level 58. Ignore outdated guides that list larger Chromite or Quartz stacks.
Hexolite is the Chromite plus Hexolite Quartz alloy. Quartz is the Feybreak rainbow crystal. Smelt them at a Gigantic Furnace, then spend Hexolite on late armor, shields, and energy weapons.
Hexolite Quartz is the rainbow crystal on Feybreak. Chromite is the late buried ore you find with a Metal Detector. Hexolite is the alloy: 1 Chromite + 1 Hexolite Quartz at a Gigantic Furnace (Technology around level 58). Older guides still list obsolete 5 Chromite / 12 Quartz / 20 Ore recipes. Trust the live item page and this 1+1 craft.
Plan Hexolite as a two-mat pipeline. Farm Quartz nodes on Feybreak, scan Chromite with the Metal Detector on the same trips, and smelt at base between expeditions. Most players bottleneck on Quartz first because crystal nodes are visible but spread across cliffs. Chromite hides until you unlock the detector.

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

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

Hexolite
Item page
An alloy of Chromite and Hexolite Quartz. Used for building advanced equipment and structures. Can be refined at Gigantic Furnace.
Where to find Hexolite Quartz
- Feybreak crystal nodes only. Use the Hexolite Quartz map filter (rainbowCrystal).
- Plan a Feybreak circuit and empty nodes into a chest near your Gigantic Furnace.
- Late Feybreak expeditions and field loot also top up Quartz between node runs.
Pin every Hexolite Quartz node on Feybreak.
Open Hexolite Quartz mapWhere to find Chromite
- Unlock the Metal Detector at Technology level 58 (same tier as Gigantic Furnace).
- Scan late islands. PalSphere plots Chromite under the Chromite map filter.
- Feybreak expeditions and some Pal drops (for example Silvegis / Smokie lines) add Chromite between detector runs.

Types of oreSmelt Hexolite
Queue Hexolite only after both input chests stay full for a full in-game day. One Chromite plus one Quartz per bar means shortages flip quickly if extractors and manual farming share the same hauler.
- Recipe: 1 Chromite + 1 Hexolite Quartz → 1 Hexolite.
- Station: Gigantic Furnace.
- Keep both mats in filtered chests so Kindling Pals never starve the queue.
- Pair the furnace row with power and kindling so smelting continues while you are on Feybreak.
Pin Chromite and Hexolite Quartz together for one farm loop.
Open combined ore mapWhat Hexolite is used for
Hexolite is the gate material for endgame armor, shields, energy weapons, and several mobility accessories. Craft armor pieces as soon as you can afford the bar cost, then weapons. Shields and heat-regulated Hexolite variants matter more once you farm oil rigs, the World Tree, and other burst-damage content.
- Hexolite Armor, Hexolite Helmet, and heat / cold / lightweight Hexolite armor variants.
- Advanced Shield and other late defensive crafts.
- Energy weapons and ammo: Plasma Cannon, Energy Shotgun, Laser Gatling Gun, Overheat Rifle, rocket and plasma cartridges.
- Mobility accessories such as Triple Jump Boots / Air Walker family pieces that ask for Hexolite.
- Exotic Sphere and high-tier magnets / salvage keys on the Hexolite item page.
Efficient farm loop
- Pin both map filters (rainbowCrystal and chromium) before you sail to Feybreak.
- Empty Quartz nodes into a chest near your Gigantic Furnace so kindling Pals keep smelting while you scan Chromite.
- Run Feybreak expeditions when you want passive top-ups between manual node clears.
- Stock Plasteel too. Several Hexolite recipes still list Plasteel as a secondary input.
