Faraway Iron is required to craft the first major upgrade for each of the Life tools in Fantasy Life i, but it cannot be found in any of the starting zones.

How To Change Appearance In Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time

Unlock the option to change your character's appearance while competing a story quest in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.

Even if you focus on power leveling all the Lives and ignore the main story in Fantasy Life i, you'll still hit roadblocks that require new resources you can't find in Eternia Village, the Capital of Mysteria, or the first few regions of Ginormosia. Progressing through the main story or exploring high-level zones in Ginormosia is the best way to find stronger trees and ores, but tracking down materials like Faraway Iron can still be tough in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.

Faraway Iron Location in Fantasy Life i

Fantasy Life i The Girl Who Steals Time Faraway Iron Lulab Forest

As the name suggests, Faraway Iron ore can be found on Faraway Island, the second major area of the main story in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. The island's Faraway Iron ore deposits are located within Lulab Forest. You'll be sent to Faraway Island and Lulab Forest in the third chapter of Fantasy Life i' s main story.

Faraway Iron Ginormosia Locations

Faraway Iron can also be found throughout Ginormosia, Fantasy Life i' s open world map. In particular, Faraway Iron ore deposits appear in Pettlewing Woods and Wingtip Valley. The former is located on the eastern coast of Ginormosia above Greatgut Plains and Viridia Plateau, while the latter is located at the very northern edge of the Ginormosia map.

These areas can be accessed at any time in Fantasy Life i, but the Iron Ore Deposits containing Faraway Iron range from level 17-20 on average. Make sure your Mining skill is high enough before venturing all the way over there. It's a lengthy journey since you start your adventure in Ginormosia at the southern edge of the map, but it doesn't take too long to traverse with a mount.

Faraway Iron Vendor Locations

The Material Shop at Alessa Farm on Faraway Island sells some for 80 gold apiece, and the same goes for Marco's Shop at your Base Camp in the present time. You can buy in bulk to power level your Blacksmith Life and unlock new skills in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.
