# Iron

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

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

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!
