It can be purchased from the Blacksmith for data-sort-value="150">150g in year 1 and data-sort-value="250">250g in year 2+. It may also be dropped by Metal Heads or Stone Golems in The Mines, or obtained by Panning. The Traveling Cart may occasionally sell it for data-sort-value="10"100–1,000g.

These nodes become common around level 40-50 in the Mines, and may be abundant at levels 70-80. It's also fairly easy to farm Iron Ore and coal by killing Dust Sprites there.

Mining an iron node will yield between 1 and 3 iron ore.
