Iron ore Item ID

Unrefined iron. Needs to be refined in a smelter.
Iron ore is an uncommon Iron source obtained as a bonus drop when fishing for Giant herring. It is refined into Iron at a Smelter using Coal. The standard Swamp Iron source is Iron scrap from Muddy scrap piles; both ores refine into the same Iron ingot.
