The raw material Fae Iron is mainly used in the lower level of crafting in New World. We at MeinMMO reveal where you can find Fae Iron.
What is Fae Iron used for? Fae Iron is needed for various recipes as an armor or weapon smith at level 2. Without this material, leveling these trades is more difficult.
Where can you get Fae Iron? Fae Iron is a rare material that you can randomly obtain when mining iron ore. It works just like petrified wood. So you have no choice but to search for iron ore and hope for luck.
However, you can increase your luck:
- On one hand, you can craft a pickaxe with a suitable enchantment.
- On the other hand, there is buff food that increases the chance, including roasted potatoes, roasted potatoes with herbs, or salty roasted vegetables.
Alternatively, you can also buy Fae Iron at the trading post.
Where can I find iron ore? You can generally find iron ore in the area type “highlands” and there are different sizes, allowing you to extract between 15 and 50 iron ore from it.
A larger deposit of iron ore can be found in the area between the cities of Kingsfall and Everfall.

If you want to find all spots of iron ore in the game, you should rely on the resource map for New World. These maps show you all important locations, lore notes, or materials accurately displayed on the maps.
At what level can iron ore be mined? To mine iron ore, you need a pickaxe, but no special skill in mining. Because you can already mine iron with level 0.
From level 25, iron ore will even be shown on the compass.
We at MeinMMO have already published several guides, tips and tricks, and builds for New World. You can find all of these in our extensive overview:
