There are many rare and elusive materials in New World, and one of them is Fae Iron. Fae Iron will take you some time to find, but the first thing you want to do is craft a pickaxe because you will be doing a lot of mining.

You can find Fae Iron simply by mining iron veins. While you will normally receive regular iron, there is a small chance that you will get Fae Iron instead. While the chances are incredibly rare, there are ways to improve your odds of getting Fae Iron.

Increasing your mining luck is the best way to increase your odds. You can equip gear to increase it, or some food will temporarily increase it. Eating food is the best way to increase your mining luck. The food that increases it can be found below.

You may be wondering why you want to go out of your way to find Fae Iron. This material is required to craft powerful weapons. These include:
