All Ore and Mineral Locations in Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar
Be a miner too!
Ores and minerals unlock so many useful tools and upgrades in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. Every farmer needs tons, especially since these materials also give you the most profits.
These ores and minerals have varied spawns, so here are all the locations for each season in SoS: Grand Bazaar.
All Ores and Minerals Spawns for Each Season in SoS Grand Bazaar
All ores and minerals have different spawns for each season, but some of the spots are similar to other seasons. Some of these ore nodes don’t spawn, and the tiny lump you see randomly isn’t a potential ore node, but they are treasure you can dig with your hoe.
The type of ores varies per season, but you’ll always get a mix of whatever is available at your progression level. The rarest ores spawn less frequently, so you’ll want to keep an eye out for all the spots and make it a daily routine to farm all the ore nodes.
Spring Ores and Mineral Spawn Locations
During year one, you won’t be able to get every spawn since the game starts during spring, and you still need to unlock your tools. When you get the glider, you can get the spawns near the highest point of the mountain and the place in Zephyr Town where the Happy Sprites live. However, the wind should be strong (2 arrows) so you can reach those points.
Most of the ores spawn in the mountains, so if you are lacking stamina or time, you can skip the town and go for the spawns in the mountains.
Update: There’s also a good spawn and consistent mineral node spawn on the upper-left corner of the mountains (the tiny island where Samir and Arata usually fish at). This goes for all seasons. You even get the Legendary Treasure Chest when fishing here during bad weather.

Summer Ores and Mineral Spawn Locations
During the summer, it should mostly be the same as the spring. Some of the ore nodes get repositioned, and there are some new nodes beside Cafe Madeleine, too.
However, the most luxurious spots remain relatively unchanged, with the top of the mountain and the southeast cliff of Zephyr Town being the most notable, both of which require good winds to glide you there.
If you are still in year 1, you might be drowning in copper ore soon, but don’t stop mining. Even copper ore still offers good value for Bazaar sales, used in special item crafts, and high-end jewelry, and drops from iron, gold, and orichalcum ore nodes, and will keep stacking.
Autumn Ores and Mineral Spawn Locations
In autumn, ores just reposition themselves in the mountains, but there are even more high-level ores at the top of the mountain. However, there’s a bit less in Zephyr Town overall.
In year 1, you’ll also unlock the Equestrian Park, just before the Horse Derby event. In the Equestrian Park, there are also ores scattered around the course, mostly by the trees and bushes at the center. The park is quite big, so it becomes really time-consuming even if you bring your horse with you.
Winter Ores and Mineral Spawn Locations
During the winter season, the ores reposition themselves again, but not much has changed this time around. Ores are more accessible around Zephyr town. There are some extra nodes by the wooden house.
Overall, it is worth farming all the ore nodes to obtain all the minerals and ores. There’s always a chance to get some rare gems like a Diamond that goes for 10,000 gold, along with other useful gems. If you turn them into jewelry, they go for even more, so mining these ores always gives you the best profit for little effort.
