Disney Dreamlight Valley: Where to Find Iron Ore and How to Use It

As players progress through the game, they will need to gather various resources to complete quests and craft items. One of the most sought-after materials in the game is Iron Ore. This guide will explain where to find Iron Ore in Disney Dreamlight Valley and how to use it effectively.

Unlocking the Right Biomes

At the start of the game, players only have access to the Plaza and Peaceful Meadows biomes. Unfortunately, Iron Ore cannot be found in these areas. To obtain Iron Ore, players must unlock additional biomes by progressing through the main questline and repairing the Pillar of Friendship in Peaceful Meadows. Once this is done, players can use their Dreamlight to access the following biomes:

• Glade of Trust
• Forest of Valor
• Sunlit Plateau
• Frosted Heights
• Forgotten Lands

Among these biomes, the Glade of Trust and Forest of Valor are the best places to find Iron Ore, as the other regions have a higher chance of dropping Gold Nuggets instead.

Locating and Mining Iron Ore

In the unlocked biomes, players should look for black-colored rocks along the edges of the map. These rocks can be difficult to spot at night, so it is recommended to search for them during the day or run along the edges with the Pickaxe equipped. When players approach a mineable rock, it will glow white, making it easier to identify.

Mining these rocks will yield a variety of resources, including:

• Stone
• Coal
• Gems
• Iron Ore

To increase the chances of obtaining extra Iron Ore, players can assign a Mining task to a character with a friendship level of two or higher. For this bonus to take effect, the Iron Ore must be the last item collected when breaking the rock.

Crafting Iron Ingots

Once players have gathered enough Iron Ore, they can use it to craft Iron Ingots at any Crafting Table in the game. To create an Iron Ingot, players will need:

• 5 Iron Ore
• 1 Coal

The required materials can be in the player's inventory or stored in any Storage box across the map. While the number of nodes that drop Iron Ore is limited, they respawn quickly, allowing players to gather more resources in a short amount of time.

Other Uses for Iron Ore

Apart from crafting Iron Ingots, players can use Iron Ore in the following ways:

1. Gifting to villagers to increase friendship levels
2. Selling at Goofy's Stall for 10 Star Coins each
3. Using as a material in other crafting recipes
