I added the fact that iridium ore is easily acquired from purple slimes within the skull cavern
'''Iridium Ore''' is obtained from rare Iridium deposits as well as from some high level [[Monsters]] as a rare drop. Iridium Ore can also be found in [[Geodes]] such as the [[Omni Geode]] and [[Magma Geode]].

==Where to Acquire==
* The ore deposits themselves are extremely rare in at least floor 115-120 of [[The Mines]], however Iridium Ore deposits can be found in the [[Quarry]], and have been spotted in some of the lower levels of the [[Skull Cavern]].

* You can also get it from fallen meterorites.
* You can also get it from fallen meterorites.
* A fairly reliable source of the ore is through Magma and Omni geodes on lower mine levels. These can be obtained frequently by mining all rocks on the mine levels 115-119. To further enhance geode frequency, choose the Geologist skill at [[mining]] level 5 and the Excavator skill at [[mining]] level 10. With both skills chosen, you can obtain ~20 geodes from each pass of mining all rocks from level 115 down to 120. You can also go to [[Skull Cavern]] and use [[Staircase]] down to 70-80 levels. Chances to find Iridium Ore there are pretty high.

* As of March 9th, 2016 v.1.05 the chance to find Iridium in the [[Skull Cavern]] increases significantly every ten levels.

* The purple slimes in the [[ Skull Cavern ]] have a chance to drop both iridium ore and bars. Once unlocked the slimes tend to give more iridium than you will find from mining in the cavern.
