Fisrt of all, this is an OLD post. so this is concidered necro-posting if you have a question please created a new thread to ask it.

but to answer your question. to get magnets you need to compound silver shoes from Inca. use any rank rank 3+ items like cypress wood, laurn wood etc.. magnets are rank 5. personally i like chickens from oslya.

if you use chicken like i do you will also have a chance to get white silvery.. you can keep or compound agian to get magnets

If you have shasha and have her with 70 amity go open the cave at the bottom south of mayan forest in there on the 2nd or 3rd floor to to bottom left of the map there is a mine. you get black clay, silvery ores, white silvery, blue stone and common stone. compound the white silvery and only the white silvery and that can give you magnets (silvery ores are stone based. magnets and white silvery are platium base) so don't be tricked by the name

fastest way is the inca way but its more exensive each shoe costs about 160-180g each or so (can;t remember) the mayan way is cheaper but takes longer.

to get magnet stones you need 16 magnets and 2 irom material per 1 stone which you turn using a grinding eqiptment. and it takes like 40 or so minutes to manufacture 1.
