Looking for fae iron in New World? Crafting plays a big part in Amazon's new MMO, and you've no doubt stopped to harvest a herb or mine stone or ore while you're out and about chasing a quest objective.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as rocking up to a fae iron deposit. They don't exist. So how do you go about getting your hands on New World fae iron? Here's what you need to know.
New World fae iron: Where to find it
New World tips: Get started in Aeternum
New World leveling build: Best weapon combinations

New World factions: Which to choose
You have a low chance of getting fae iron when you mine regular iron veins. You'll need a flint mining pick (or better) to get started, but luckily, iron veins are fairly plentiful around Aeternum. They're usually found around rocky areas or cliffs, but if you're having trouble locating them, this interactive map should help you out.
Fortunately, you can increase your chances of getting your hands on fae iron by increasing your mining luck. Certain food buffs will increase this stat, so it's worthwhile stocking up before you set out on a mining expedition.
You need to either craft it or buy it from a Trading Post. Crafting is the cheaper option, so head over to the Kitchen crafting station at your settlement and whip up one of the following delicacies:
