Where to Get Faraway Iron in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time

Want to collect Faraway Iron? There are a number of ways to obtain it, depending on whether you enjoy mining or want to shop your way through for gathering it.
1. Mining Locations
Faraway Iron can be found in a number of important locations:
Faraway Island – Lulab Forest
You’ll find this area by earning it through Chapter 3 of the main story. Lulab Forest is where you’ll discover some of the first Faraway Iron deposits.
Ginormosia Regions
When you’re able to explore the open world, look at:
- Pettlewing Woods – East coast, just north of Greatgut Plains and Viridia Plateau.
- Wingtip Valley – Clumped up way at the far north of the map.
These mining nodes are usually at level 17–20, so it’s a good idea to level up your Mining Life first before going there. Traveling from the southern starting point can take a while, but using a mount reduces traveling time significantly.
2. Buy It from Shops
Not up for mining? You can buy Faraway Iron instead:
- Alessa Farm (Faraway Island) – Material Shop
- Marco’s Shop (Base Camp, Present Time)
Each sells the ore for 80 gold. This is a great option if you want to speed-level your Blacksmith Life and unlock advanced forging skills without grinding.
