Iron Ore is a common crafting component in Monster Hunter World. It is used to craft basic Weapons and Armor.
Item Description: Iron Ore that can be smelted into metal and used for many different purposes.
Location: Iron Ore is randomly mined from blue Mining Outcrops in the following regions:
(Map Locations in Blue Circles)
- Ancient Forest (Blue Ore) –> Most common in this area, this is the best map to mine for it.
Available mostly on Low-Rank Difficulty
- Wildspire Waste (Blue Ore)
Available on Low-Rank Difficulty
- Coral Highlands (Blue Ore)
Available on Low-Rank Difficulty
- Rotten Vale (Blue Ore)
Available mostly on Low-Rank Difficulty
You can get it from any of these outcrops. It’s best that you go from outcrop to outcrop and mine all of them until it drops. Then fast travel to another map to make everything respawn and go again.
The way mining works is that each map has 3-6 specific types of ore. Each outcrop on that map can drop any of that ore. It’s slightly random. So ore is not restricted to one outcrop, but rather to a certain map.
