any higher-level iron nodes: it's been my experience that low scenes don't get nickel, but among the higher tiers that DO get nickel it doesn't feel like there's much variation, just RNG past that point. tanglemire is popular for iron, or spectral mines to a lesser degree in ep1. i also remember a few nice pockets of it in ulfheim if you don't mind the zombies.
Thanks, folks. I spent some time in Spectral Mines and Etceter Crag Mines, but the rapidly respawning skeletons made it tough to concentrate on the farming. I'll try some of the other spots.
