Flintstone is one of the early mining materials in Embervale, and you do not have to leave the Springlands to get it. The deposit sits close to where you start, hidden under surface dirt in a rocky cleft just off the main trail. A basic pickaxe is all you need to dig it out.
Quick answer: Head north from your Home Level 1 altar toward Braelyn Bridge, step off the cobblestone road into the rock gully on the hillside, and dig down with a pickaxe until the orange-rimmed ore vein appears.
Flintstone location in the Springlands
The Flintstone deposit is in the starting Springlands region, directly north and northeast of your first Home base altar and south of Braelyn Bridge. Open your map and look at the stretch of rocky path between those two points. Your marker will sit near a cobblestone trail that runs through the area.
The vein itself is not on the road. From the cobblestone trail, the deposit sits in a rock gully a short distance off the path on the grassy hillside. The surface is covered by ordinary dirt and stone, so you will not see the ore until you start digging. Look for the layered dark rock edged with bright orange and copper-colored accents once the ground is cleared.
How to mine Flintstone
A single node drops many units in one sitting, so clear the whole vein before moving on rather than returning multiple times.
What you get and how to confirm it worked
Mining the vein drops three materials at once rather than Flintstone alone. You will see the counters tick up as you strike the node.
- Flintstone
- Stone
- Springlands Dirt
Once you have gathered enough of these, a RECIPE UNLOCKED! prompt appears for Fertile Springlands Dirt at the Workbench. Seeing that message confirms the trip paid off and gives you a new crafting option back at base. If the recipe notification does not show, keep mining the vein to collect more of the dropped materials.
