Iron Item ID

A bar of pure iron ready to be worked.
Iron is a Swamp-era refined ingot smelted from Iron scrap at a Smelter using Coal as fuel. It is the key material for Iron-tier weapons, armor, tools, and many advanced crafting stations like the Stonecutter.
Overview
Iron is a metal item in Valheim. Its in-game item ID is Iron, which you can drop into the console with spawn Iron to give yourself one — append a number like spawn Iron 50 to spawn a stack.
In the in-game data it is tagged as Item drop, Metal, and Material.
