Unidentifiable Ore is a currency primarily used to purchase Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil, though it is also used in three different relic weapon quests, exchanged for Divine Water and Crystal Sand.
Where To Purchase Unidentifiable Ore
There are two primary methods of obtaining Unidentifiable Ore. The most common is simply by visiting Rowena’s Representatives around Eorzea where they will give you one ore for 150 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. The other is through various tribe exchanges. The Moogles, Vanu, Vath, and Kobold will all give you one ore for a certain number of their respective currencies. Those who are into raiding can also pick up a few of these by using Precision Gordian Springs. Here’s the full breakdown of vendors that accept Poetics.

What To Purchase With Unidentifiable Ore
Like we said earlier, you’ll primarily be bringing these to Bertana and buying Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil in her Uncanny Knickknacks Exchange.
- Bertana in Idyllshire (X: 5.9, Y: 5.2) will take one ore for one Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil.
- Cristiana in Mor Dhona (X: 21.4, Y: 5.5) will take ten ore and four Dispelling Arrows for one Divine Water, a relic weapon material.
- Ulan in Idyllshire (X: 6.4, Y: 4.7) will take one of each of the four Unidentifiable materials for two Crystal Sand.
The Unidentifiable items are frequently used to convert an overabundance of Poetics into Gil by selling the purchased Grade 3 topsoils.
