* [[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.  This process is costly, but does not require combat and can potentially be faster than scouring the [[Skull Cavern]].

* [[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.
