One of the most reliable methods to obtain Chromite involves the Metal Detector, a tool designed to locate buried materials. To unlock this tool, you must reach Level 56 and purchase it through the Technology Screen. Once unlocked, the Metal Detector becomes vital for detecting Chromite underground. Equip it while exploring Feybreak Islands and pay attention to its audio or visual cues to locate buried resources.

Another way to obtain Chromite is through the Arrogant Pal Critic, an NPC. This Critic will request specific Pals from you, rewarding you with items, including Chromite, upon fulfilling their demands. This method can supplement your farming efforts, especially if you're already capturing and managing Pals.

You can also use the newly released Pal, Smokie, to detect Chromite. If you have Smokie with you while exploring Feybreak Island, it will use its sharp sense of smell to locate the locations of buried Chromite and share its location so you can mine. You can use the metal detector and Smokie together to find the ore more efficiently.
