How to Get Iron in RuneScape DragonWilds (2025)

Surviving in RuneScape DragonWilds can be very hard. With a world filled with constant danger, you’ll need all your wits and the best gear to survive. Iron will help you craft some of the strongest armor and weapons in the game, fully equipping you for the end-game areas in RuneScape DragonWilds. But where to get it? Here is a complete guide on how to get iron in RuneScape DragonWilds and how you can craft iron Bars from it.

Where to Get Iron Ore in RuneScape DragonWilds

Iron Ore can only be found in Stormtouched Highlands in RuneScape Dragonwilds. This area is located West of Fractured Plains and is one of the high-level areas in the game. If you’re having trouble with how to get here, then refer to our image below for the location. The enemies here are extremely strong, and you will need at least Power Level 3 gear to survive here.

After you have entered Stormtouched Highlands, look for the Iron Ore Node. These look like normal ore deposits and can be found all over the Stormtouched Highlands. You can use the ‘Detect Ore + Clay’ Dragonwilds spell to have the ore deposits marked in the area. Once you have found an Iron Ore Node, you will have to mine it to get the Iron Ore.

How to Mine Iron Ore in RuneScape DragonWilds

After you have found an iron Ore Node, you will have to mine it. Unfortunately, a normal Pickaxe won’t work. You will need to craft a Bronze Pickaxe before you can mine the iron Ore Node in RuneScape DragonWilds. Here are the materials required to craft a Bronze Pickaxe:

• 5 Bronze Bars
• 4 Oak Logs
• 2 Leather

Bronze bars can be crafted using Copper and Tin using a Furnace. Oak Logs can be obtained by cutting down an Oak Tree with a Bronze Axe. Leather can be crafted using Animal Hide or Animal Hide Scraps using the Tannery.

You can only craft a Bronze Pickaxe on a Smithing Forge. Here are the materials required to build a Smithing Forge:

• 6 Bronze Bars
• 20 Ash Logs
• 8 Coarse Thread
• 1 Vault Core

You can craft Coarse Threads from Flax using a Spinning Wheel, and you can obtain Vault Cores from Vaults. Now, build the Smithing Forge inside your shelter and craft the Bronze Pickaxe. Finally, head to the Iron Ore node and use the Bronze Pickaxe to mine it.

How to Craft an Iron Bar in RuneScape DragonWilds

Iron Ore by itself is useless in RuneScape DragonWilds. You need to process the Ore into an iron bar to use it for crafting weapons, armors, and other items. To process iron ore, you need to build a Furnace first. Here are the materials required to build a Furnace in RuneScape DragonWilds:

• 24 Stone
• 6 Clay
• 4 Charcoal
• 10 Fire Rune
• 8 Vault Shard

Clay can be mined in Whispering Swamps, Charcoal can be crafted by processing logs or planks in a Kiln, Fire Runes can be crafted in aRune Altar,and Vault Shards can be collected inside Vaults. Now, build the Furnace in an exposed area and put the iron ore inside to process it. You will also need Charcoal as fuel to complete the process.

Three iron ores create one iron bar, so you will need to farm a lot of iron ores if you want to get all the Iron gear in the game.
