Rarely Found Near Other Ore Deposits

Iron Ore in daytime

Though uncommon, Iron Ore deposits are also found in areas where other ore deposits like Copper and Tin can be found. These ore deposits are usually around clearings, bodies of water, and areas where a lot of plants grow.

Take note that you need at least a Bronze Pickaxe to harvest Iron Ores!

Iron Ore Deposits Look Similiar to Sulfur

Iron Ore and Sulfur

Iron Ore deposits are easy to miss as they can easily be mistaken as regular rocks, much like Sulfur whose deposits look like moss rocks. Keep an eye on rocks with rust-like stains on it when you run into different types of deposits!

Use Curiosity Catcher II to Find Iron Ores

Ore Detector 2

If you're having trouble finding Iron Ores, try crafting a Curiosity Catcher II, unlocked by the Ore Detector II Memetic, first and activate it near a field with ore deposits!

Farm in Whalebone Cape

Iron Ore farming site

A good spot to farm for Iron Ore is on an open field in Whalebone Cape, located on the west side of Vena Fjord. This area is filled with different type of ore deposits and includes higher tier ones like Aluminum and Tungsten.

Have The Digby Boy Deviant

The Digby Boy

The Digby Boy deviant can also mine Iron Ores for you even if your territory doesn't have an Iron Ore deposit!
