About Iron ore

"This needs refining."

Iron ore is a free-to-play Mining resource obtained at level 15 from iron rocks, granting 35 Mining experience per ore. It smelts to an iron bar at Smithing level 15, but with only 50% base success unless the smith wears a Ring of forging or has 58+ Smithing at the Blast Furnace. Combined with two coal it produces a steel bar, making iron ore one of the most heavily traded mid-tier Smithing ingredients.

Market Strategy

  • 50% base smelt success without Ring of forging or 58 Smithing creates two distinct supply curves
  • Used as the iron half of every steel bar — high consumption from Cannonball smithers
  • Blast Furnace iron bars are a profitable F2P/early-members training method
  • Wilderness Resource Area and Motherlode Mine are common high-yield gathering spots
