Re: Iron ore

The Blacksmithing guild and airship docks at the 3 starting cities

If you insist on mining up your own ore, try Zeruhn or Palborough.

Re: Iron ore

The rate for Iron Ore in Zeruhn really isn't bad, if you can free up some inventory space and bring along a bunch of Fire Crystals. Do as you want with the Copper Ore; situationally I may make Copper, Bronze, or Brass Ingots if I have a particular need, but a lot of the time it's best just to toss them when they start to pile up. With crystals on-hand you can process ore as soon as you have enough, leaving only to buy more crystals or pickaxes or to trade/sell accumulated Zinc and/or Darksteel Ore.

I haven't spent much time mining in Palborough, though I didn't have as much luck there when I did.

Re: Iron ore

I always have found Iron a good mining rate in Zehran on garuda. Out of 12 mining sopots I got the following..

1 nothing.
4 Iron ore (sell on AH due to smithing low in crafting)
3 Copper ore (made copper ingot)
2 Zinc ore (Keep for Tenshodo quest
2 Tin ore (thrrew away)
