'''Iron Ore''' is a mid-tier gathered resource in Kintara. It is obtained by mining ore nodes in the [[Wilderness]] and [[Frostmere]] with a [[Pickaxe]] (requires Mining 5). Iron Ore is smelted into [[Iron Ingot|Iron Ingots]] at any furnace, then forged into tools and armor at the smithy.

Iron Ore is the foundation of the mid-tier crafting system — tools, weapons, and armor all begin here.

== Gathering ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Tool
! Gathering rate (per minute)
! Level requirement
! Notes
|-
| [[File:Pickaxe.png|24px|link=Pickaxe]] [[Pickaxe]]
| 84–120
| [[Mining]] 5
| Same nodes as [[Stone]] and [[Coal]]
|-
| [[File:Pickaxelvl2.png|24px|link=Lvl 2 Pickaxe]] [[Lvl 2 Pickaxe]]
| 168–240
| [[Mining]] 5
| Forged through [[Smithing]]; doubles yield and XP
|}

Iron Ore nodes are found in the [[Wilderness]] and [[Frostmere]]. Gathering requires [[Mining]] level 5 or higher. See the [[Category:Resources Calculator|Resources Calculator]] for full gathering time formulas.

== Smelting ==
Iron Ore is smelted into [[Iron Ingot|Iron Ingots]] at any furnace (Frostmere or Dunes West). No Smithing level required.

{| class="wikitable"
! Input
! Output
! XP
|-
| 60 Iron Ore + 60 [[Coal]]
| 10 [[Iron Ingot]]
| 220 XP
|}

Each smelt yields 10 ingots instantly.

== Uses ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Use
! Item example
! Ingots required
! Notes
|-
| [[Smithing]] tools
| [[Iron Sword]]
| 280
| Forged into swords, axes, pickaxes. Requires Smithing 13+.
|-
| [[Smithing]] armor
| [[Iron Helmet]]
| 2–4 per piece
| Four armor slots (head, body, legs, feet). Requires Combat 15 to wear, Smithing 14–20 to craft.
|-
| Repairs
| Tool/armor durability
| ~60% of craft cost (scaled)
| Repair costs vary by durability loss; minimum 1 ingot per repair.
|}

== Ore Tiers ==
Iron Ore is the mid-tier in Kintara's ore system:

{| class="wikitable"
! Tier
! Ore
! Ingot
! Mining req
! Smithing req (tools)
! Speed bonus
|-
| Low
| [[Copper Ore]]
| [[Copper Ingot]]
| None (0)
| 0–7
| +5%
|-
| Mid
| '''Iron Ore'''
| '''Iron Ingot'''
| '''5'''
| '''10–17'''
| '''+10%'''
|-
| High
| [[Silver Ore]]
| [[Silver Ingot]]
| 20
| 20–27
| +15%
|}

Higher tiers gather faster and craft better gear, but require more progression.
