Where to find Rusted Iron in Rune Factory 5

It's time to buff your defenses.

It’s no secret that nearly everything in Rune Factory 5 is either too expensive or not available without an expansion from Studio Palmer. This is why it helps to craft your own weapons, tools, armors, accessories, and more. However, each item needs specific materials to be made. A common one is Rusted Iron. Here’s where to find some.

How to get Rusted Iron

Rusted Iron is a rare drop from Ghosts. Ghosts are frequently seen in two early areas: Belpha Ruins and the Kelve Volcanic Region. They’re those spooks that float around with a scythe.

Ghosts will frequently drop two things: Hoods and Crystal Fragments. But if you defeat enough of them, they might drop Rusted Iron, too. Ghosts can be tamed, but they won’t produce any items.
