Iron Ore
Category Resource
Effect
Cost / Recipe
How to get

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 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

Tool Yield per node Mining XP Notes
Pickaxe 1 Iron Ore 50 Requires Mining 5
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 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.

Input Output Smithing XP
6 Iron Ore + 6 Coal 1 Iron Ingot 22

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

Uses

Use Item example Cost Notes
Smithing tools Iron Sword 55 ingots + 1,300 Wood Iron Axe: 40 ingots + 1,000 Wood (Smithing 10) · Iron Sword: 55 + 1,300 (Smithing 13) · Iron Pickaxe: 60 + 1,600 (Smithing 17)
Armor Iron Helmet 25–50 ingots + 25–50 Molten Rock + 2–10 Brute Horn per piece Crafted at Kaziir the Armoursmith in the Dunes. Boots (Smithing 16), Helmet (14), Legs (18), Body (20). Requires Combat 15 to wear.
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. The ore a rock gives depends on the region:

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.
