Green Zone

There’s an effective farming route for Blue Gems in the Green Zone of the Aberration map that starts at 37.1 latitude and 54.9 longitude. This is right on the border of the Blue Zone and leads into the Green Zone, so you don’t have to worry about dangerous dinos that much.

Follow the path up the mountain, and at the first opportunity, do a 180-degree turn to the right and keep following the path. To make your life easier, here are the coordinates for all the blue crystal spots you can find along the way:

  • 37.5 latitude and 54.1 longitude
  • 38.2 latitude and 53 longitude
  • 37.2 latitude and 52.8 longitude
  • 36 latitude and 54 longitude
  • 35.8 latitude and 55.2 longitude
  • 36.5 latitude and 55.7 longitude
  • 36.7 latitude and 56.5 longitude
  • 36.6 latitude and 57.5 longitude

Blue Zone

The spots in the Blue Zone aren’t as efficient, but if you find yourself exploring on the western side of the map, there are a few formations in the area of 49.5 latitude and 42.8 longitude. It’s a wide plateau with several small mining spots on the edges, so walk around and get as many as you can.

On the western side of the map, there’s a spot at 46.8 latitude and 72 longitude. There are multiple large crystals in the canyon near the waterfall, but the area can be filled with Rock Drakes you have to avoid or fight, so make sure to come prepared.

While you’re traveling there, make sure to check out the following coordinates for more Blue Gems:

  • 40.8 latitude and 60.4 longitude
  • 37.9 latitude and 67.9 longitude
  • 35.6 latitude and 67.7 longitude
  • 37.7 latitude and 66.5 longitude
