My Route (to hit all spawns):
I tend to start at Isla Nevada and zip to Isla Major, sticking to the left side as I run to Isla Bonita. I then go from there across the bridges to Isla Tormenta, turning left to grab the sandstone. Then I go down across the river and grab the ore by the pond, which is there every run, and circle through Isla Del Fuego before switching realms and doing it in the reverse order.
Notes:
- usually, one of the two sandstones will spawn on Isla Del Fuego and the other one will spawn on either Isla Bonita or Isla Tormenta, since Isla Major seems to be a rarer spawn
- silver chests will often spawn in the forested area by the Red Mandrakes on Isla Bonita, and wooden chests can spawn on any of the other islands, most commonly on Isla Del Fuego or Isla Tormenta

*other good places to find sandstone include Kondha Desert in Khrysalis and Stonetown in Zafaria, but those areas are often more crowded, making up for the longer run time of Floating Mountains
*a commonly overlooked place to farm stone block and ore is Dragonspyre Academy, which has a run time of almost exactly 30 seconds per realm, and has a decent amount of rare harvests (highly recommend for diamond farming since the Atheneum is competetive)
*by using teleporters and leaving X’s, another good farming route in Azteca is from the Zocalo to a circuit through Three Points and Mangrove Marsh, which gives a good balance of agave leaves, red mandrake, black lotus, and stone blocks, and is really convenient for gathering for the Transcendent Crafter quest if you grab turquoise from the silver chests in the Zocalo
Other:
- Eloise’s flower for this area is on the southern side of Isla Del Fuego by the fake plants (NOT the agave leaves, but the other plants, If you’re looking for real agave leaves check Mangrove Marsh)
- Professor Zeke’s UFO is on the southeastern side of Isla Tormenta right under the top left corner of its label on the map
- If you’re questing through Twin Giants, it’s a great place to collect stone blocks and ore along the way
Happy Farming!
