Iron Ore is the one metal in Valheim that no pickaxe will ever find. Instead of coming from a vein, it comes up on a fishing line, pulled in with the Giant Herring that swim off the shores of the Swamp.
Production
Iron Ore is smelted into Iron bars in a Smelter.

How to Get It
Giant Herring only bite on Sticky Fishing Bait, which you make at a Food Preparation Table from ordinary bait and an Abomination trophy, so an Abomination has to fall first. Fish the open water just off a swamp coast with a rod, and the ore comes up as an occasional bonus alongside the fish, not on every catch. Refine it in a Smelter with coal exactly as you would Scrap Iron.
Notes
- Like other metals, it can only be teleported through a Portal Stone.
- Smelting it into Iron at a Smelter costs two Coal per bar, because the smelter burns one Coal every 15 seconds and takes 30 seconds to make a bar. It holds 20 Coal and 10 ore at a time, and it stops working if the smoke above it has nowhere to go.
