What the availability labels mean

Every item carries one of these, so you can tell a guaranteed route from a lucky one without opening the page.

  • Available now364 items

    We have a normal source you can reach without another major unlock.

  • Unlock required274 items

    A quest, system or area has to open before the normal route appears.

  • Not guaranteed46 items

    Obtainable, but the recorded source is random rather than a certainty.

  • Available later228 items

    Normal acquisition is recorded for later progression, not where you are now.

  • Seasonal8 items

    Tied to a season or event that is not currently running.

  • Still being checked6 items

    The recorded data for this item is incomplete or inconsistent, so we are still confirming how it is obtained.

  • No confirmed normal source13 items

    We have not confirmed a reliable way to obtain this during normal play, so we say so instead of guessing a location.

Can’t find a normal source?

If we have not confirmed a reliable way to obtain an item during normal play, we say so instead of guessing a location. That is a gap in what we have checked, not a puzzle for you to solve.

If you know the recipe but not why it is blocked, the Dependency Checker walks the requirement chain one unlock at a time.

Item Finder FAQ

How do I find an item in Welcome to Elderfield?
Search by name, or browse by item type, area, shop or the quest that needs it. You do not have to know the exact in-game name — a quest or a place works too.
Why does an item show as locked?
Its normal source needs a quest, system or area to open first. The card names the requirement instead of pointing you at a location you cannot use yet.
What does “available later” mean?
Normal acquisition is recorded for later progression. The source exists, but it is not something you can reach at your current point in the game.
Can an item have more than one source?
Yes. The strongest source is shown first, then alternatives. Each one says whether it is guaranteed or random, so a lucky chest is never presented as the normal route.
Why isn’t an item in a shop yet?
Some shop stock only appears after a quest. When an item is a shop unlock, the card names the unlock rather than the shelf.
Are shop items always available?
Not always. Some recorded shops carry rotating stock, and the exact refresh timing is not recorded, so those are marked as rotating instead of being promised on every visit.
How do I know which mine has an ore?
Open the ore’s page or the Mines group below. The card shows the recorded area and whether the source needs an unlock first.
Where can I see what an item is used for?
Item cards list what the data records: the quest that asks for it, what it is crafted into, and the recipes it feeds.
How do I find items required by a quest?
Use the quest table below, or search the quest name. Searching a quest returns the items it asks you to bring.
