How to Farm Iron Early in Blades Of Fire

by

In the game “Blades of Fire”, unlike traditional leveling methods, players can boost Aran’s stamina and health through runes. Yet, it’s Aran’s combat prowess that truly shines, which is honed by forging weapons from metal. To craft these battle-ready weapons, Aran must scavenge for as much iron and other materials as he can to fashion superior steel versions instead.

Luckily, gamers can begin gathering iron and other precious resources early on within the game, enabling them to create weapons that are notably more potent than Aran’s initial blade. This guide will highlight the top early farming locations for iron in Blades of Fire.

How to Farm Iron and Materials in Blades of Fire

Unlock the Longspear

There are two significant motives for engaging and defeating the spearmen in Besacarr Hamlet: firstly, they possess the most armor, which could yield more iron drops and other valuable items such as Petrified Tips, Accursed Flesh, Amber Fairie Wings, and coal. Secondly, slaying ten of them with Adso present will unlock the Longspear Forge Scroll. The Longspear is an exceptional weapon for mining iron from the nearby region to the south known as The Hollow Plain.

Make sure Adso accompanies you whenever you make a kill, as he’s essential for unlocking the Forge Scrolls; without him, it won’t be possible.

Spearmen Location

Most of the Spearmen can be encountered at the gate known as the Crimson Rift’s entrance. Make your way to the Dry Riverbed Anvil by fast traveling, then proceed west until you reach the gate. Take out the spearmen using Hyssop; their heads are uncovered, allowing for a stealthy approach on the one closest to the gate. Rest at the Anvil and repeat this strategy until you obtain the Forge Scroll for the Long Spear. Ensure you’re using top-tier steel for optimal slashing effectiveness.

Kill The Undead Putrids In The Hollow Plain

After crafting the Longspear, make your way towards the region known as the Hollow Plain. There, you’ll encounter countless Claymore-wielding undead that you must eliminate. A single strike with the spear will take them down, so conserving energy isn’t necessary. Since Aran is susceptible to long and rapid attacks, employ a series of quick chain attacks instead. Some of these undead may drop up to 100 iron pieces and as many as 300 coal.

  • The undead are easy to kill, but they can overwhelm with large numbers, and one swing from their Claymore causes massive damage.
  • You should also be wary of the Marauders using invisibility and waiting to ambush you in The Hollow Plain. They’re fast and dangerous, but a well-timed swing from the Longspear will make short work of them. They also drop a fairly decent number of materials, but are harder to kill than the zombies.
  • When you’ve cleared the area, rest at the Kar-Lethel Wall Anvil in the south and restart the process.

Overpowering more than 60 Putrids not only grants Aran an impressive stockpile of Iron, Coal, Corrupted Remains, and Preserved Shards, but it also triggers the acquisition of the Claymore Forge recipe. This blueprint enables the creation of a formidable Greatsword, which is among the top-tier heavy weapons in the game.

As a dedicated fan, I’d always recommend not just focusing on battling foes, but also ensuring to shatter every destructible object you come across in the game, like barrels, crates, pots, tables, and more. This extra effort will significantly aid Aran in amassing more Iron and Wood, essential resources for his Forge of the Gods.
