Best White Iron Chunk Farming Locations

White Iron Chunks are scattered throughout Teyvat, with over 721 known locations according to HoYoverse's official interactive map. However, some regions offer more concentrated farming opportunities than others. Here are the absolute best spots to farm White Iron Chunks in 2025:

Mt. Aocang (Liyue)

Mt. Aocang remains the undisputed champion for White Iron Chunk farming, boasting a whopping 22 chunks around its perimeter. The southern end of the mountain is particularly rich in these resources, and with the teleport waypoint nearby, you can collect most of them in just over a minute.

"This place is the real deal for ore farming - it's like hitting the mining jackpot!" as many players in the community would say.

Musk Reef (Mondstadt)

If you're looking for efficiency, Musk Reef is your go-to location. All eight White Iron Chunks here are clustered near a single teleport waypoint, meaning you can collect them all in under ten seconds. Talk about bang for your buck!

Brightcrown Canyon (Mondstadt)

With twelve White Iron Chunks in close proximity to the Teleport Waypoint, Brightcrown Canyon offers an excellent farming route. Simply teleport and glide down to collect these valuable resources with minimal effort.

Tatarasuna (Inazuma)

The area around the Statue of the Seven in Tatarasuna features eight easily accessible White Iron Chunks. With convenient teleport points nearby, this location has become increasingly popular among miners in the latest updates.

While White Iron Chunks may be more valuable, regular Iron Chunks shouldn't be overlooked. These common ores are found abundantly in similar locations and are crucial for many basic crafting recipes.

The highest concentration of Iron Chunks can be found in:

  1. Wolvendom (Mondstadt)

  2. Stormbearer Mountains (Mondstadt)

  3. Lingju Pass (Liyue)

  4. Kujou Encampment (Inazuma)

Efficient Farming Methods

Best Characters for Mining

Geo and Claymore users remain the most efficient miners in Genshin Impact. Ningguang deserves special mention as her passive talent "Trove of Marvelous Treasures" allows her to detect nearby ore deposits on the mini-map, while her Geo attacks can break ores in a single hit.

"Ningguang's like having a metal detector and jackhammer rolled into one character - she's a no-brainer for serious miners," as veteran players often point out.

Other excellent miners include:

  • Zhongli (his hold E skill instantly breaks all nearby ores)

  • Any Claymore user (Diluc, Eula, etc.)

  • Razor (his hold E skill can break multiple ores)

Expedition Strategy

Don't forget about the Adventurers' Guild expeditions! You can dispatch characters on mining expeditions to passively collect Iron and White Iron Chunks while you focus on other activities. The following locations offer ore expeditions:

  • Whispering Woods (Mondstadt)

  • Dadaupa Gorge (Mondstadt)

  • Yaoguang Shoal (Liyue)

Pro tip: Use characters with the 25% expedition time reduction passive (like Bennett or Fischl) to maximize your efficiency.

Crafting Uses for White Iron Chunks

After collecting all these ores, you'll want to put them to good use. White Iron Chunks are used in crafting:

  • 16 different weapons

  • 80+ furnishing items for your Serenitea Pot

The most notable weapons requiring White Iron Chunks include:

  • Prototype Rancour

  • Whiteblind

  • Prototype Archaic

  • Crescent Pike

Remember that all ores respawn every 48 hours, so mark your calendar and establish a regular farming routine to keep your inventory well-stocked.

As one Genshin player aptly put it: "You can never have too many White Iron Chunks - they're like the duct tape of Teyvat crafting!"
