You can get fae iron by mining iron nodes with a pickaxe tool. The drop chance for fae iron is extremely low and in order to get a higher % chance you will need to get luck.
Another super secret way to get fae iron is by killing the hortus bears at Ursus Hortus marked as #9 in our Weaver's Fen map. Instead of skinning, these hortus bears will require you to use a pickaxe on them and they have higher chance of giving you fae iron.
Here is a screenshot of what mining a Hortus Bear provides for materials!
