In Stormtouched Highlands, you mainly want to look for Granite Deposits at the base of large mountains and cliffs. Along the rock formations, you'll often find one or two Granite Deposits sitting next to each other, along with Iron Ore.

Inside the Vault, there are several easy-to-reach Granite Deposits you can quickly mine without alerting any Vault enemies. Once you've mined all the Granite available, use the Lodestone, fast travel to your base, and wait a few in-game days for the Granite to spawn again. Rinse and repeat as many times as possible until you have all the Granite you need. And that's how to find Granite and farm it in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.
