An iron bar is a metal bar refined through the Smithing skill by smelting two iron ore together, either using a furnace or the Superheat Item spell. Smelting an iron bar requires a Smithing level of 10 and grants 2 Smithing experience. Iron bars can be smelted 25% and 50% faster beginning at Smithing levels 14 and 17, respectively. Additionally, starting at Smithing level 19, there is a chance of smelting an extra bar without consuming additional ores.

The ring of forging enables the smelting of iron bars from only one iron ore.

Iron bars can be forged at an anvil into iron equipment. A list of items produced from iron bars and their requirements may be found here.

Trivia

• Before the Mining and Smithing rework, noted iron bars could occasionally be found inside barrels, now iron stone spirits may be found instead.
• Before the Mining and Smithing rework, iron bars required level 15 Smithing and a single iron ore to be smelted. At that level, players had a 50% chance of failing, which would consume the ore without producing a bar. This chance decreased by 1% per level until reaching 20% at level 45. To obtain a 100% smelting success ratio, players needed to use Superheat Item, a ring of forging, the blast furnace or have level 99 Smithing.
