In Dinkum, there are three types of Ores, copper, tin, and iron. Iron is by far the hardest one to get. And because of its difficulty and rarity, you can make the best tools and items using Iron Ore and Iron Bars.
Dinkum: How to Get Iron Bar
Step 1: Get Basic PickAxe
As soon as you are able to get the basic pickaxe to go and buy it from Fletch.
Step 2: Mine Copper Ores
You need to mine copper ores in order to get Iron bars later on. The reason behind this is that you need enough mining experience to unlock Copper Pickaxe.
Step 3: Get Copper PickAxe
After getting enough mining experience and being a level 5 Miner, you will be able to buy Copper Pickaxe from Fletch.
Step 4: Mine Iron Ore
Once you have the Copper Pickaxe you will be able to mine Iron Ore deposits in Dinkum.
Step 5: Smelt Iron Ore in Furnance
Buy Furnace from John’s Shop and insert Iron Ore inside it. Iron Ore will get converted to Iron Bars, and that’s how you get Iron Bars in Dinkum.
Remember that Crude Furnance that you can craft yourself can not smelt Iron Ore, it can only smelt tin and copper ores.
