There are a lot of resources in Enshrouded, including Iron Ore, which has a lot of uses but can sometimes be a little difficult to find or gather.

This guide is here to shed some light on this issue and help players figure out exactly where they can get this relatively high-end resource. This article will also help you learn what you can do with Iron Ore and what stuff you can build using it.

What is Iron Ore

Iron Ore in Enshrouded is considered one of the most important endgame resources due to its extensive use in some of the best gear available in the game. Even just a few pieces of this resource can make your character nigh invincible.

It is also used to craft endgame weapons and tools. However, the main issue with Iron Ore is that it is very difficult to locate in Enshrouded because it only appears in high-level areas, according to The Gamer.

Best Area for Iron Ore

While there are quite a few locations you can go to so that you can farm Iron Ore, there is arguably one that is considered the best. This is The Cave Passage which is situated between Nomad Highlands and East Lapis.

This is considered the best location to get Iron Ore because it contains a ton of nodes for this particular resource. What makes this the best area is that there are no enemies here, which makes gathering Iron Ore hassle-free compared to alternatives.

Alternative Areas

If for some reason you are unable to use The Cave Passage as your main source of Iron Ore, there are plenty of other locations you can go to. These include the Caravan Camp and the Ridgeback Mine, Game Rant said.

The only issue with these areas is that there are a lot of high-level enemies that can sometimes prevent you from gathering Iron Ore efficiently. If you are not careful, you can even be killed by these enemies, making the process even longer.

Uses for Iron Ore

The main use of Iron Ore is to smelt Iron Bars, which is the item needed to craft a variety of recipes. These include the Soldier Set, Warden Set, Warlock Set, and a plethora of high-level tools and weapons.

It is recommended to upgrade your Iron Pickaxe and Iron Axe first so that you can farm more resources efficiently. This lets you prepare enough materials to craft the other items that you want.

Other Tips

If you are trying to gather Iron Ore at locations that have a lot of high-level enemies, having some good armor to start with is recommended. Some of the best armor sets in Enshrouded include the Archmage Set and the Elder Armor Set.

These provide massive stat bonuses and effects that let you take on the ferocious enemies that stand in your way of getting Iron Ore. The Elder Armor Set in particular is very useful and it can be acquired inside treasure chests in Sun Temple: Kindlewastes, according to Deltias Gaming.
