* [[Oasis|The Oasis]]: You may buy large amounts of [[Omni Geode]]s from [[Sandy]] in [[The Desert]], which [[Clint]] can then break open for you.  Expect 100 [[Omni Geode]]s to yield about 10 to 15 Iridium Ore.  This process is costly, but it can get you enough Iridium to upgrade all of your tools in a very short time.

* [[Skull Cavern]]: The beginning floors of Skull Cavern will yield next to no iridium nodes. You may buy [[stone]] from the [[Carpenter's Shop]] to craft a [[staircase]]. Large amounts of staircases or [[Crafting#Bombs|bombs]] can get you deep into Skull Cavern quickly. Starting around level 70, iridium ore becomes much more common, yielding roughly one node per floor. Once past level 100, multiple nodes can be found per floor. After level 300, there will be as many iridium nodes as there are common stones.

* The chance to find Iridium in the [[Skull Cavern]] increases significantly every ten levels.

* The chance to find Iridium in the [[Skull Cavern]] increases significantly every ten levels. At level 120 and greater, the chances of each single iridium node spawning is <code>1% + ((mineLevel - 120) / 2000)</code>, where mineLevel is the current level number you are on.

* 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.
