You have a low chance of getting fae iron when you mine regular iron veins. You’ll need a flint mining pick (or better) to get started, but luckily, iron veins are fairly plentiful around Aeternum. They’re usually found around rocky areas or cliffs, but if you’re having trouble locating them, this interactive map should help you out.
Fortunately, you can increase your chances of getting your hands on fae iron by increasing your mining luck. Certain food buffs will increase this stat, so it’s worthwhile stocking up before you set out on a mining expedition.
You need to either craft it or buy it from a Trading Post. Crafting is the cheaper option, so head over to the Kitchen crafting station at your settlement and whip up one of the following delicacies:
