Our Iron Ore farming guide provides a list of areas where you can collect the most Iron. With a minimum mining skill of 125 required to mine Iron Deposits, these zones offer plenty of Iron resources. The key areas outlined in this guide include Feralas, where Iron can be collected throughout the zone (particularly in the north), and Western Plaguelands. In Western Plaguelands, avoid Hearthglen due to a lack of Iron and adhere to the recommended route for efficient farming.
