Iron chip in Genshin Impact: where to buy and find on the map

A piece of iron Genshin impact is a common ore found throughout Teyvat. Its description says that in the hands of an experienced craftsman, fragments can turn into a large number of useful things.

Next, we will indicate the places with the largest accumulations of the resource in Teyvat, show who you can buy iron fragments from, and explain why they are needed.

What does iron ore look like on the ground?

Iron ore looks like a dark, elongated stone with the same small extensions from the base. When approached, it lights up, like any other resources in the game. To mine, it is enough to hit the stone several times with an ordinary sword, once with a two-handed sword, or make a fall strike as an archer - after this the ore will crumble into several fragments of iron that can be collected.

Preparing to farm iron fragments

Before you start searching and collecting a resource, we recommend that you prepare thoroughly in order to significantly reduce the time required to search and collect lilies. To do this, you will need to assemble a special squad, the characters of which have skills convenient for exploring the world, as well as stock up on special dishes that give bonuses to stamina when moving.

Featured Characters

Some playable characters and their combinations can make farming resources much easier due to unique abilities: alternative types of movement, talents that provide buffs, or skills that point to various useful materials nearby.

To make iron ore farming easier, take into your squad Ningguang — it highlights the nearest deposits on the mini-map.

Food

A whole section of “adventure” dishes allows you to significantly reduce the consumption of stamina points while moving around the open world. Thanks to them you will be able to sprint, fly or climb longer.
