Iron Bars may occasionally be found in Garbage Cans after receiving the Furnace blueprints from Clint. An Iron Bar may also drop from a Shadow Brute (2% chance) or Shadow Shaman (2% chance) when slain.

Smelting iron ore in a furnace takes 2 in-game hours. The "Transmute (Fe)" recipe is earned at Mining Level 4.

Iron bars are used in a variety of crafting recipes and are used to upgrade tools to tier 3. Each iron bar can be sold for data-sort-value="120">120g, or data-sort-value="180">180g with the Blacksmith Profession.

Tool Upgrades

Iron Bars are required for the second upgrade of tools.
