An iron bar is a bar of refined iron. It can be created through the Smithing skill at level 15 by using iron ore on a furnace, granting 12.5 Smithing experience. When smelting iron ore, there is a 50% chance that it will be too impure; it disappears, yielding no Smithing experience nor an iron bar. However, wearing a ring of forging, casting Superheat Item, or using the Blast Furnace would give a 100% success rate.

An iron bar can be smithed on an anvil through the Smithing skill to create iron weapons and armour. When smithed, each bar grants 25 experience, with a maximum of 125 being given for the iron platebody.
