# Iron

Players can turn Iron to [Iron Fragment](https://wiki.tribals.io/tribals.io-wiki/items/resources/iron-fragment) if they smelt it in the [Smelter](https://wiki.tribals.io/tribals.io-wiki/building-elements/smelter) or in the [Campfire](https://wiki.tribals.io/tribals.io-wiki/building-elements/camp-fire). Players can also trade Iron in a [Vending Machine](https://wiki.tribals.io/tribals.io-wiki/building-elements/vending-machine).

Iron nodes can be mined using a [Stone Pickaxe](https://wiki.tribals.io/tribals.io-wiki/items/resources/stone) or an [Iron Pickaxe](https://wiki.tribals.io/tribals.io-wiki/items/weapons-and-equipment/iron-pickaxe)!

An Iron node respawns in 7-10 minutes after being completely mined! It also offers a big bonus of Iron when players deliver the final blow to the Node!

Stackable up to 1000 pieces!
