From upgrading weapons to crafting fancy decorations, Iron Ore is essential for every Palian, and it’s fairly easy to obtain if you have the right tool. You’ll have to look for rocks with gray-blue nodes with black bulges coming out of them. The size of the deposit will determine the amount of iron ore you’ll obtain, with larger deposits offering greater quantities.

Where to find Iron Ore in Palia

Armed with a suitable pickaxe, which has to be a Standard Pickaxe or higher, you can mine Iron Ore from the mineral deposits found in Bahari Bay. Iron Ore deposits can be found on cliffsides or elevated areas within the region.

Not only they are found in large quantities, but they also respawn rapidly, canceling the risk of the ore’s depletion even when a high number of players are on the server. Interactive maps online can also help you keep track of which places you’ve already checked and where your next place to look for Iron Ore might be.
