No lots of it in the second zone in your faction but if there are many people harvesting it becomes rare during peak play hours always best to harvest strange times of day.
High Iron isn't rare, but you will only find it in Stormhaven (your second main zone). The crafting materials are different for each zone, except for VR levels where you have the same materials dropping for two or three consecutive zones.
