Where to find Iron Ore in V Rising?

  • Haunted Iron Mine (located south of Dunley Farmlands).
  • North-west corner of Dunley Farmlands.
  • The eastern side of Cursed Forest.

Iron Ore farming requirements

Before you can start farming Iron Ore, you should ideally reach at least level 37 in V Rising so you’re strong enough to take on the enemies and boss in the haunted Iron Mine area.

You’ll also need to carry a specific type of weapon to gather Iron Ore, a Mericiless Copper Weapon. The ideal choice would be the Merciless Cooper Mace as it deals a lot of damage to Iron Ores compared to other weapons. You can craft the Merciless Cooper Mace with the following resources:

  • x1 Cooper Mace
  • x2 Crude Topaz
  • x8 Whetstone
  • x4 Leather

How to mine Iron in V Rising

Once you’ve got everything you need, head to the Mines and make sure to drink the blood of a Worker Blood type NPC, to maximize the yield efficiency trait which will ensure you collect more materials than usual.

Then simply interact with the Ore veins in the area to start mining Iron Ore.

After you’ve got the Ore, you can smelt them to create Iron Ingots although this can only be achieved after defeating a level 37 boss Quincey Bandit King who will drop the Iron Ingots recipe.
