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.
