Where is the Iron?

[willy2times]

I can't find iron anywhere. help?

This is a significant issue the Devs need to revisit. You can mine Iron in first act in like two places at best and then it's RNG to Proc it. Iron is to scarce to be viable and upgrading DMG on weapons is a must at higher difficulties/levels.

This still seems to be an issue as of 2/21/23. Did regular story visits then at least 2 or 3 visits to each node afterwards and never found any iron ore. Plenty of Copper and Gold.

All crafting materials can be purchased from the town vendors now.

Are all the crafting materials available straight away now, though? If Iron isn't unlocked until later I could see that being a problem

If it is gated, it would unlocked as Towns are opened by progressing through the Main Quests - which Iron would be no later than the second town. Upgrading your equipment really isn't worth it until close to level 30 anyways, so even being unlocked later, wouldn't be an issue.

Sure I know that but the game tool tips also state they are available in the Mines as well so they should be farmable. I don't want to spend cash on something I am supposed to be able to farm. I spent another 2 hours running about 15 Mines quest nodes and just got copper and gold as before, still no iron. Either fix it or take it out of the tool tip that you can get it while questing.

While true it's stupid that the iron ore says to visit the mines locations for drops, if it's not going to be mineable then change the tooltip text. I don't think Iron Ore should only be purchasable either. If I wanna do runs and grind/farm some from drops instead of buying it you should be able to. That's the purpose of even having the gather locations listed on the tooltips after all.

Some of the components have hefty price tags like 44k and 100k each. If you can't farm them you are forced to do even more farming for trash drops to sell off just to get cash to buy components that you should be able to farm on those same runs. Basically with about 800k Gold I had to spend 250k of it to buy the ingredients I am supposed to be able to farm to upgrade just 1 piece of equipment with a Prefix and Suffix. That is almost 1/3 of the gold I had to upgrade 1 piece on 1 of 6 characters. Ridiculous.
