Luma Island: What to do with luke crystals
You need a lot of offers if you want to enter the locked ruins on your farm.
Copper only lasts for so long though, and eventually there won't be any more upgrades. Whenever that time comes, it's time for you to venture out and find your way to the mysterious forest beyond the bridge, and acquire a new, stronger metal: Iron Ore.
How to find iron ore
Once you've unlocked the forest biome, you'll want to head towards the entrance to the bulk of the Lost Forest Caveswhich is in northwest corner of the first area of the map.
There is one
second area to the Lost Forest Caves with another entrance near the lake to the east
but it's more of a tunnel and has less ore than the main area.
You will find one camp with a campfire you can turn on backup, and several pre-placed craft drawings you can finish using material from the forest: a sawmill, ore smelter, furnace and a simple workbench.
There is one some pieces of iron ore just outside the cave you can mine to get started, but everything else will be found inside.
The Lost Forest Cave features Coal again and the occasional Copper Ore near the entrance, as well Iron ore, Silver Rubbleand three new pearls: Pyrite, bismuth and crocoite.
You can
safely run through spiders while they are staggered
as long as they have a red mark of wrath above their head.
You also have to deal with one new variant of Spider enemy marked by a green glow, has more health, move fasterand can sometimes resist being displacedbut it's about same one hit KO damage like the other type.
