What is the best place to go to get iron ore (to turn into iron ingot) in V-Rising:
Outside of Dunley Farmland Militia villages and camps, you will occasionally come across isolated rocks that contain iron. Like copper or sulfur, iron ore is easy to spot thanks to its bluish color. However, there is a more interesting area in Dunley's farmland where you can mine very large amounts of iron. This is the Haunted Iron Mine! Take a look at the map below to see where it is and the shape of the area.
★ Tip 1 – Even without a ruthless rank weapon or tool, you will be able to scavenge iron from the haunted iron mine in Dunley farmland. Indeed, inside the mine, you will come across chests that contain iron and even decorative elements such as crates and wooden barrels can reveal iron once you have destroyed them.
When you have enough iron ore on you, all you have to do is go to your castle and use the furnace there to transform all your ore into iron ingots. Don't forget that to get the recipe for the ingots, you will need to have eliminated the carrier of blood V, Quincey the king of the bandits who is a level 37 opponent.
★ Tip 2 – With your first iron ingots, we advise you to add an iron floor under your forge and create a room with a door around it. If you meet this condition, your future iron ingots will cost you 25% less in iron ore. It can be worth the cost over time!
