Rarely Found Near Other Ore Deposits

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 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!

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!
