Iron Bar

The Iron Bar is an early-game metal bar, used to create the Iron tier of equipment, along with many other items. Its alternate ore version is the Lead Bar. It can also be placed on the ground, like furniture.

New characters in will always start with Iron tools, regardless of the ore types present in the world.
