How to Farm Iron Ore Efficiently
Desert Farming Runs are Recommended
| Steps | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Enter the Desert and run around the outer perimeter |
| 2. | Check the gathering points (★) that appear along the way |
| 3. | If you don't have enough, go to the Eastern Road |
| 4. | Return to the Desert from the Eastern Road and repeat steps 1-3 until you're done. |
Gathering Points Appear Randomly at ★ Locations
| Gathering Point | Got Iron Ore |
|---|---|
 |  |
Iron Ore can be obtained by chance from gathering points. The locations of these points change randomly when you enter/exit an area or save/load, so you'll need to patiently run through the area.
Save/Reload Farming in The Aerie is Also an Option
| Steps | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Enter The Aerie and save at the save point |
| 2. | Check all the gathering points (★) |
| 3. | [If you didn't get Iron Ore] Select Load from the options menu and return to step 1. [If you got Iron Ore] - If you have enough, you're done. - If not, move to the Northern Plains and return to step 1. |
Loading is Done from Options -> Other
When farming in The Aerie (reload marathon), use the save and load functions. Using save & load will reset the contents of the gathering points, allowing you to farm Iron Ore time-efficiently.
Buying at the Junk Heap is a Last Resort
| Price | 1000G |
|---|
Iron Ore can also be purchased from the brothers' shop in the Junk Heap. However, the price is high considering the huge amount you need, so it's best used as a last resort when you're just a little short.
