Best place to get iron ore?

[Vextor]

Hi, it would be great if there's some place where I can get a lot of iron ore beside the Abandoned Mines (because the iron ore there is placed so far away). Any nice locations early in the game?

early game recruit marin fast and use her as a support

I already have Ormond, and he is better at giving a boost to iron ore.
I am really looking for a better location though because I keep running out of Iron ore.

marin is a x2 multiplier on all nodes (tree, ore, food etc), that help A LOT early game

I don't think her multiplier is that much, I think the x2 is for all the more 'dedicated' gather support, and her's is something like x1.5 since she effects all nodes.

There's one right near the start of Redthroat Ridge. Just across the first bridge on the right

Ormond also gives x2 for minerals. Thanks for your suggestions tho.

Still wondering if there are better places besides the Abandoned Mines.

Ooh, thanks! I will give that a try.

As I recall you only need roughly 16-20 iron ore to max out the 1st and 2nd tier of the castle/town. Also once you get the guild up and running they will farm these resources for you. Really no need to grind more than say 20 iron ore. Hope that saves you some time grinding.

Okay, so I guess once I have enough to fulfill the current facility requirements I wouldn't need iron ore anymore. That's great to know, because those have interrupted my progress multiple times and I just wanted to hoard a bunch of them to avoid that. Thanks!

As soon as you unlock the castle and they ask you to recruit people go down the well near the graveyard. Go down until the screen transitions. On the bottom right corner, unmarked on the map, is a rail track path. This leads to a dwarf that will ask you to get iron ore. Notably, there's also an ore deposit right next to him. That's one spot I frequent.

Get the chest near him as well for another recruit.

In addition to that, if you go back up to the area transition you just left, you can go left for another one.

Explore the whole mine entirely, IMO, and get the other two recruits. The one at the entrance to the mine requires the item in the chest and the other one you should have seen on your way through the mine the first time. He's still in the same spot.

There's a lot of nodes, but I think there's only one other one that is Iron Ore. IIRC. But you'll need the stone anyways to make a mine upgrade in the castle. And then I believe you passively start accumulating iron ore.

Along with what the previous poster mentioned about the mines shortcut, it's worth noting that nodes refresh *very* quickly in this game, such that it's almost not worth going to more than one destination unless you can find somewhere with a very high concentration (such as mystic lumber in the dappled forest).

Thanks for all the additional tips! It's great that I can get help for this game so quickly. Really appreciate all the pointers, etc!!

U can enter abandoned mines from the castle, and it's near iron ore vein
