How to Get Genesis Opal

Harvestable During Magnificent Fossil Emergence Event

Genesis Opal Active Event

Players can obtain Genesis Opals by harvesting them from Magnificent Fossils, which only appear during a Magnificent Fossil emergence event.

Once the event is active, players can use the Filter View map feature to mark Magnificent Fossils as their destination and go there with the auto-path feature.

Only Available in Three Regions During Fallow Weather

Area Weather
Windward Plains Fallow
Oilwell Basin
Ruins of Wyveria

The Magnificent Fossil emergence event only happens in the listed areas and weather above. As such, players should aim to have these conditions when looking for Genesis Opals.

List of Maps and Locations

Rest at the Camp to Refresh Events

Rest Menu

If players have trouble encountering the event, they can repeatedly Rest at camps to reset the active and forecasted environmental events. Resting costs 500 Guild Points each time, so players should save up sufficient Guild Points prior.

Watch Out for the Event in the Environmental Summary

Genesis Opal Forecast

Players can also check the Environmental Overview's Forecast tab and see if Magnificent Fossil emergence events are lined up. If the event is listed and is about to occur, they can wait for it to start instead of resting again.
