New World has heaps of resource materials scattered throughout its terrain for players to craft items, but Fae Iron turns out to be one of the rarest resource material players can collect in the game. Players can use it to craft eight powerful weapons used across different playstyles.
If you are looking for Fae Iron for one of your crafts, get ready for one hell of a grind because collecting it requires a lot of time and absolute luck. Finding the source of Fae Iron is not that big of a deal, but the item itself is tricky to get your hands on.
How to get Fae Iron in New World?
Fae Iron can be obtained by mining the massive iron veins deposits scattered throughout the map of the New World. The iron veins primarily produce regular iron, but there is a slight chance of a Fae Iron drop as well.
The iron veins are available in excess in New World, especially in the southern region of the map. You can find these deposits in any rocky area such as mountains, caves, or around large boulder deposits in general.
Refer to the maps below for the locations of iron veins
To farm Fae Iron, just take a pickaxe and get ready to devote a considerable number of hours mining the iron veins and hope that you get Fae Iron drops through sheer luck. Fortunately, you can improve your mining luck in the game to increase your chances of getting a Fae Iron drop.
Note: You will need at least a flint pickaxe to mine Fae Iron.
