Preparing to farm Scraps of Iron

Recommended characters

If you are going to get serious about finding this material in order to accumulate supplies that will last you for a long time (150-200 pieces), then we recommend that you first prepare a suitable team by taking the following characters:

Don't forget to also bring plenty of stamina meals with you and add them to your dry rations so you can use them instantly.

How long does it take for Iron Fragments to respawn

A single deposit usually drops no more than one piece of iron, so you have to run a lot to collect enough ore. Note that the wreckage respawns every 2 real days. You can farm them both in your own world and go to the world of another player if you have inspected all the deposits on your server.

Where to find iron shards in Genshin Impact

Iron ore is one of the most common in the game – there are several hundred deposits in Teyvat, and they are found in all regions from Mondstadt to Encanomia, so you can certainly collect a considerable number of these materials just by walking around the game world.

If you suddenly need over a hundred pieces of iron, for example, to create a large number of new pieces of furniture, then we recommend that you familiarize yourself with our best farming routes, which allow you to collect 162 pieces of iron in less than half an hour. If you need the location of absolutely all deposits, then we recommend using the interactive world map.

Where to Buy Iron Shards

Shi Tou

This vendor is located in the Harbor Li Yue. It works around the clock. You can buy 10 pieces of iron from him at any time for the price of 120 mora apiece. Its assortment is updated every 2 real days.

Qiu Yue

The same amount of iron fragments and for the same price can be purchased from a merchant located on Rito Island in Inazuma. She also works around the clock, and her assortment is updated every 2 real days.

Iron Fragment Expeditions

Expeditions are one of the less labor-intensive ways to get this ore, as you just need to send your characters to certain routes, waiting for them to return with a reward. The only negative is that you will have to wait a few real hours to get the materials.

To use this mechanic, you need to reach the 14th adventure rank and talk with Katherine in any of the branches of the Adventurer's Guild. Iron Fragments can be obtained in the following expeditions:

• Whispering Forest (Mondstadt) – four to five fragments.
• Dadaupa Gorge (Mondstadt) – four to five fragments.< /li>
• Yaoguang Shoal (Li Yue) – four to five wrecks.

However, you only need to send characters on 4-hour routes. In doing so, you will also receive some White Iron Scraps as a bonus. We recommend using heroes that can reduce expedition time by 25% with their passive skills:

• Mondstadt Expeditions: Bennett and Fischl.
• Li Yue Expeditions: Chun Yun and Ke Qing .
