New World players are griefing opponents to steal more Iron Ore

New World Iron Ore is one of the most highly sought-after mining materials, but players are now coming up with unique ways to steal it from other adventurers.

Mining Iron Ore in New World is incredibly important as it enables you to craft a number of early-game weapons and armor. As a result, every adventurer that wishes to survive the brutal lands of Aeternum will need this crafting material. After all, being able to take down tough foes and stave off a lethal hit from enemy players will always be useful. 

New World has proven so popular that players have found ways to avoid long queue times and even stop other travelers from gathering resources. While New World’s Iron Ore locations are scattered throughout the land, a number of adventurers have found a way to take the game’s mining spots for themselves.
