This page covers the item historically called '''Metal''', which is now displayed in-game as '''[[Iron Ore]]''' — it is the same item under its current name.
 
'''Iron Ore''' is a mid-tier gathered resource in Kintara. It is obtained by mining rocks in [[Frostmere]] with a [[Pickaxe]] (requires Mining 5) — every Frostmere rock yields iron ore, while [[Wilderness]] rocks give [[Stone]] and [[Coal]] and Dunes rocks give [[Silver Ore]]. Iron Ore is smelted into [[Iron Ingot|Iron Ingots]] at any furnace, then forged into tools and armor.
 
Iron Ore is the foundation of the mid-tier crafting system — tools, weapons, and armor all begin here.
 
== Gathering ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Tool
! Yield per node
! Mining XP
! Notes
|-
| [[File:Pickaxe.png|24px|link=Pickaxe]] [[Pickaxe]]
| 1 Iron Ore
| 50
| Requires [[Mining]] 5
|-
| [[File:Pickaxelvl2.png|24px|link=Lvl 2 Pickaxe]] [[Lvl 2 Pickaxe]]
| 1 Iron Ore
| 50
| Swings 10% faster (a Silver Pickaxe swings 15% faster)
|}
 
Every pickaxe tier yields 1 ore and 50 XP per node — higher tiers only swing faster, never more yield or XP. Iron Ore rocks are found in [[Frostmere]] only.
 
== Smelting ==
Iron Ore is smelted into [[Iron Ingot|Iron Ingots]] at any furnace (Frostmere or Dunes West). No Smithing level required. Smelts are priced per ingot, with a ×1/×5/×10 batch selector and a pace of roughly 0.8 seconds per ingot.

| 6 Iron Ore + 6 [[Coal]]
| 1 [[Iron Ingot]]

A ×10 batch consumes 60 ore + 60 coal for 10 ingots and 220 XP.

== Ore Tiers ==
Iron Ore is the mid-tier in Kintara's ore system. The ore a rock gives depends on the region:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Tier
! Source
! Ingot
! Mining req
! Smithing req (tools)
! Tool swing-speed bonus
|-
| Low
| 10 [[Stone]] + 5 [[Coal]] (no copper ore exists — copper smelts from Stone)
| [[Copper Ingot]]
| None (0)
| 0–7
| +5%
|-
| Mid
| '''Iron Ore''' ([[Frostmere]] rocks)
| '''[[Iron Ingot]]'''
| '''5'''
| '''10–17'''
| '''+10%'''
|-
| High
| [[Silver Ore]] ([[The Dunes]] rocks)
| [[Silver Ingot]]
| 20
| 20–27
| +15%
|}
 
The speed bonus applies to the tools forged from each tier (swing speed), not to gathering the ore itself. Higher tiers craft better gear but require more progression.
