Mining an iron node will yield 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 data-sort-value="10">10g.

It's possible to farm it in level 41-50 easily and while in that range to farm coal by killing Dust Sprite.

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 Sprites and iron ore while 52 is a long narrow path to a guaranteed ladder. 53 is an infested level normally filled with Dust Sprites and a free ladder to 54 if looking for more iron ore.
