Iron is one of the most important crafting materials Starsand Islandand it's a bit harder to find than common ores like copper. Fortunately, the game has several locations where iron ore is almost guaranteed to spawn, making farming a lot less tedious. However, new players should keep in mind that harvesting iron requires a higher level pickaxe.

Best places to farm Iron Ore on Starsand Island
-
Garden of dreams
-
North of the Crystalith Hideout
-
East of Azure Bay (near boss fight area)
Iron Ore can be found in Dreamfall Garden, near Crystalith Hideout, and in Azure Bay in Moonlit Forest. These areas are not unlocked by default and may require completing simple tasks such as repairing a broken path or breaking a wall.
Although iron can appear in other places, these places offer the best chances of finding more ores. Note that it may take several in-game days for collected Iron Ore to reappear.
How to make iron
Currently, there is no guaranteed way to make iron at home. However, when processing common or uncommon pieces of ore, the ore analyzer can pick up iron. Iron can also appear in treasure chests or be donated Starsand Island NPCs as rewards for completing requirements and missions.
What to do with iron ore
The best use for iron ore is to make iron ingots. These are basic materials Starsand Island and are required for many early game missions. Iron Ingots are also needed to create Iron Sheets, another important crafting resource.
Iron ingot production requires furnace level 2.
