Before you go

Farming steps

  1. Travel to the Haunted Iron Mine and assess the entrance and nearby enemies before committing to the interior.
  2. Clear a nearby safe pocket so enemies are less likely to interrupt mining.
  3. Mine exposed Iron Ore nodes with a qualifying weapon tier.
  4. Check nearby barrels and chests while moving between veins; their contents can supplement the node haul.
  5. If you encounter a large Iron Deposit, do not assume your normal weapon can break it; those deposits have a higher requirement.
  6. Return to the castle when your inventory is filling or danger is rising, then put ore into the Furnace.
  7. Use the processed iron on available weapon and crafting recipes as your Blood Altar progression unlocks them.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat trips as needed; exposed world resources respawn. Smelt each haul at the castle, then retain enough iron for the recipes you plan to craft.

Common mistakes

  • Entering without a Merciless Copper tier or better weapon: check the mining requirement before leaving home.
  • Staying after the pack becomes dangerous: retreat with a partial haul rather than losing time and cargo.
  • Confusing large deposits with ordinary nodes: move on unless you can meet their separate requirement.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have enough iron for the next gear or crafting goal, or switch to another Dunley activity if the mine is too contested.
