Hey guys. Having trouble finding some rich Iron and plat nodes. Every map I look up online is either dedicated to orichalcum or is just extremely outdated.

If you could post me some locations/server of some rich nodes or large clusters it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

There’s a permanent Rich Iron Node on the west side of Fields of Ruin. I believe there’s also a permanent Rich Platinum Node on the west side of Sparkfly Fen, at the end of a small “jumping puzzle”.

The Brisbane spot is especially good for rich iron. It has one permanent one and frequently has a second variable site one in that area.

Guess someone cant be bothered to explore maps properly.

Why would you want the locations of these nodes.. is there a more sinister reason behind the need, isn’t the node grab hack program up to date enough so needs some location tweaks…. ANET really needs to start shuffling node locations much more randomly than they do currently, make players actually do what’s meant to be done.. go find things on maps not empower the easymode factions.

No they need to stop adding gear that takes stupid amounts of resources to create.

No, some of us have to manage our time with things such as jobs, schooling, and other responsibilities and do not have the time to memorize node locations nor the time to 100% the map all over again every time the rich veins change.

Also, this post was made out of having trouble finding them, not lack of interest in looking. If you aren’t going to be bothered with helping, then do everyone a favor and don’t be bothered with posting either. Thanks.

They aren’t perfect, but they at least give me areas to check. Since nodes change with any patch and anytime the map has to be respawned, it can make things..interesting.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Poor Snowden Drifts, not even on the linked maps from Astral.

There’s one permanent rich iron in snowden drifts in the polar bear cave in Reaver’s dale. (directly north of the R in reaver’s when you look at the map. There is also a movable rich iron that sometimes shows up in one of the following locations:
-Near the bridge next to/just west of the Jotun’s Vista label on the map.
-In the little icebrood camp in the middle of the road north of the Jotun’s Vista label
-In Molengrad in the SW part of the map.
there may be more possibilities.

If you find a server with the rich iron by the bridge or icebrood camp it can be a very fast run start at Reaver’s waypoint and head north/NW. Lots of regular iron and soft wood nodes on the way. However, because the nodes move with every update you do need to put in a bit of work to find them. Start helping yourself by making notes of where the rich nodes show up while exploring so you know where to check when they move.

Very nice map, but I’m pretty sure the node in the end of the spider cave in Dredgehaunt Cliffs is also fixed, as is the one in the Skritt cave in Lornar’s Pass.

For platinum, it’s been my experience it’s just as fast if not faster to find and gather regular nodes in 50-60 areas than to seek out the rich nodes… the regular nodes are just too plentiful.

On a good day, it’ll also have several regular Iron and Silver nodes. I like going from Gallowfields Waypoint south through Cutpurse Circle, east to Brilitine Waypoint and then south to Enrav Exploration Post- On good respawns, that’ll have at best 2 Rich Iron, 1 Rich Silver and a dozen mixed Silver and Iron nodes on the way.

And I do exactly the same.. 2 kids and just me so please don’t even try to play the tears on the pillow tactic…. your OP was all about not wanting to bother about locating them because you flat out said please tell you where they are… so no I stand by what I said.. ANET needs to fully randomise node locations then maybe Bots and Hackers will have a much harder time and players seeking easymode to crafting will have to go do what others have to find the time to do.
