Iron Ore Farming Route

Best Farmed in Low Rank Windward Plains

Windward Plains Iron Ore Farming Route
Mine the surrounding outcrops near Lookout Hill, then mine the one at the end of the river. Fast travel to Mineral Cave, mine the nearby outcrops, then get to the cliff at Area 5. Jump down and glide with your Seikret. Then proceed to get the Area 6 and 2 outcrops. Mine the outcrops in the Underground Water Vein. Fast travel to the Bone desert and mine all the outcrops on Area 17.

Iron Ores are mined from Mining Outcrops on all Low Rank locations. However, it's best to farm Iron Ore in Windward Plains due to how many mining nodes there are in the location. Iron Ore can also be obtained in High Rank Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest.

It's recommended to have three levels of Geologist equipped to maximize efficiency when farming.
