Where Do I Get Iron Ingots In Dreamlight Valley?
Crafting items in Dreamlight Valley has never been easier with a variety of materials and resources to gather. One of the most important ingredients for crafting, specifically building materials for your Village, is Iron Ingots. Iron Ingots are required for a multitude of building projects, so gathering and refining a healthy stockpile of Iron Ingots is a must for any player.
The secret to finding Iron Ore, which is refined into Iron Ingots, is tied to the character progression of your Avatar. Once you restore the Friendship Level of Merlin, the quirky, hat-wearing wizard, up to level 4, the Enchanted Forest biome will open to you, granting access to the crafting station needed to process Iron Ore. Along with the Enchanted Forest, Iron Ore veins can be found in the Sunlit Plateau biome, the Frosted Heights biome, and the Forgotten Lands biome.
Mining for Iron Ore
To acquire the necessary material to create Iron Ingots, you must first equip your Royal Pickaxe. To craft this handy tool, you will need 5 Pure Nightstone and 8 Hardwood. Once you have your tool ready, head over to any of the biomes where Iron Ore appears and start mining!
As you smash open the sparkling rocks, you will be rewarded with Iron Ore. Gather as much as you can because you’re going to need plenty of it. Once you have enough Iron Ore, the next step is to refine it into usable Iron Ingots.
Refining Iron Ore
To turn your raw Iron Ore into Iron Ingots, you need to use a Crafting Station. Crafting Stations can be found in all the biomes, so you don’t have to travel far to refine your materials. Once you’re at a Crafting Station, interact with it and select the “Refining” tab.
In the Refining menu, you will see a list of all the materials you can refine, including Iron Ore. Select Iron Ore and input the desired quantity you want to refine. Each Iron Ore will yield one Iron Ingot. Once the refining process is complete, your Iron Ingots will be ready to use for crafting.
Tips and Expert Advice
Here are a few tips and pieces of expert advice to make the most of your Iron Ingot gathering and refining:
✔ **Use the Mining Buddy**: The Mining Buddy is a helpful companion that can be equipped to automatically gather resources while you focus on other tasks. This can save you time and energy, especially when mining for Iron Ore.
✔ **Upgrade Your Tools**: As you progress through the game, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your Royal Pickaxe. Upgrading your Pickaxe will increase its durability and efficiency, allowing you to mine faster and gather more Iron Ore.
