The Meteor Shower event in 99 Nights in the Forest is one of the most exciting updates, bringing rare resources, new achievements, and advanced crafting recipes.
Meteors crashing into the forest aren’t just for show, they contain powerful materials needed to craft high-tier gear, like the Obsidiron Chest.
In this guide, we’ll cover how to find meteors, the tools you need to mine them, what loot they drop, and tips for farming them efficiently.
When and Where to Find Meteors in 99 Nights in the Forest
- Meteor Showers begin after Day 5 in the forest.
- You’ll see the global warning: “The sky is on fire.”
- The sky turns red, meteors rain down, and craters appear where they land.
- Each crater contains one or more meteors you can mine.
Meteor craters don’t appear on the minimap, so you need to actively watch where meteors fall.
If you miss the impact location, keep exploring, the craters persist until mined.
Tools Required to Mine Meteors
Mining meteors works just like chopping wood, but they’re tougher and need stronger swings. Here’s what you’ll need:
Axes That Work on Meteors
| Axe Type | Effectiveness |
|---|---|
| Old Axe | Basic, slow mining |
| Good Axe | Reliable, mid-tier option |
| Ice Axe | Slightly faster break speed |
| Strong Axe | Very efficient |
| Chainsaw | Fastest farming tool |
| Admin Axe | One-hit break (admin-exclusive) |
Sacks for Collecting Loot
| Sack Type | Storage Capacity |
|---|---|
| Old Sack | Basic capacity |
| Good Sack | More storage |
| Infernal Sack | High storage |
| Giant Sack | Maximum storage, best for farming |
Always bring at least a Good Sack or higher. Meteor loot stacks up quickly, and running back with a small sack slows your grind.
Enemies Near Meteor Craters
Meteors aren’t unguarded treasures. When you approach a crater, expect:
-
Meteor Crabs – crawl around the crater and attack players.
-
Wolves – often spawn nearby during the chaos.
Always clear the area before mining, otherwise you’ll take hits while stuck in the mining animation.
What You Get from Mining Meteors
There are two meteor types, Black Ore and Red Crystal meteors.
Both can drop the same resources, only the appearance differs.
Here’s the full loot table:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Meteor Shard | The most common drop. Used in Meteor Anvil crafting (e.g., Obsidiron Chest). |
| Raw Obsidiron Ore | Rare drop. Must be refined into Obsidiron Ingots (break → lava → water process). |
| Gold Shard | Very rare drop. Needed for high-tier crafting recipes. |
These materials are essential for building late-game items, unlocking blueprints, and completing Meteor Anvil recipes.
How to Refine Raw Obsidiron Ore
Since Raw Obsidiron Ore is one of the rarest meteor drops, here’s the quick refinement process:
-
Mine meteors until you obtain Raw Obsidiron Ore.
-
Toss the ore from a high spot to break it into pieces.
-
Throw the pieces into lava inside the Meteor Crater → becomes Scalding Obsidiron Ingot.
-
Dip it in cold water or a pond → turns into Obsidiron Ingot.
You’ll need these Ingots for advanced items like the Obsidiron Chest.

Tips for Efficient Meteor Farming
-
Track the sky: Don’t AFK during meteor showers—watch for impact trails to locate craters quickly.
-
Upgrade your axe: Strong Axe or Chainsaw makes a huge difference.
-
Bring friends: Farming meteors is faster and safer in groups, especially with Meteor Crabs around.
-
Stockpile resources: Always carry extra sacks. Farming 10+ Meteor Shards in one run saves time.
-
Stay near water: Makes refining Obsidiron Ingots easier if ponds are close by.
