Where to find Obsidian in Forager

Obsidian is a rare metal ore that has a slight chance to spawn as large deposits only in fire biomes. So if you want to mine obsidian, you will first need to unlock the fire biome by purchasing the land; you can do this through the in-game purchase option.



However, keep in mind that the fire land will cost a lot of money, anywhere from 4k to 57k coins, so make sure you earn enough money before buying a fire land at Drill. You'll also need to work your way south to reach the fire biome; it will also require you to purchase land.

Once you have purchased a fire ground, there will be a small amount for obsidian deposits to spawn on their own. That's fine on its own but not necessarily practical if you want to get things done. For this reason, we recommend building a combination of Quarries and Lighthouses to increase the spawn rate of Obsidian Deposits.

To make a career, you will first need to unlock it with a deposit skill; after that, you can craft one with the following materials.

  • five amethyst
  • five emerald
  • five topazes
  • five rubies

Once made, the quarry will increase and spawn nearby rocks and minerals, combined with lighthouses to a remarkable effect for farming Obsidian. Indeed, with beacons placed nearby, they will increase the speed at which the player gathers resources. The effect will also stack with more placed headlights. That being said, you can craft lighthouses with the following resources; you'll also need to unlock the lighthouse with the Optics skill before you can craft it.



  • 15 Glass
  • 5 Steel
  • 30 Brick
