Iron Ore is collected when mining iron-laced rocks with a pickaxe. Mining an iron-laced rock will give you between 1 and 3 iron ore. These rocks become common around level 40 in the mines. Iron ore can be smelted in a furnace to create an iron bar. The smelting requires 5 iron ore and 1 coal to begin and takes 2 hours to complete. It can be sold for 10g.
It's possible to farm it in level 41-50 easily and while in that range to farm coal by killing Dust Spirit.
A much more target-able way to farm both Coal and Iron Ore is to start level 50 where level 51 has a high likelihood of both Dust Spirits and Iron Ore while 52 is a long narrow path to a guaranteed ladder. 53 is an infested level normally filled with Dust Spirits and a free ladder to 54 if looking for more Iron Ore. Rinse repeat.
