Line 13:
Line 13: + + + − + − * 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. − * 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. − +
removed unnecessary timestamp, sorted list, tprice template, smelting ingredients name template & furnace link
* [[Oasis|The Oasis]]: You may buy large amounts of [[Omni Geode|Omni Geodes]] from [[Sandy]] in the [[Desert]], which [[Clint]] can then break open for you. Expect 100 [[Omni Geode|Omni Geodes]] 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 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.

==Smelting==
==Smelting==
To craft an [[Iridium Bar]] you will need 5 [[Iridium Ore]] and 1 [[Coal]]. The smelting process will take 8 hours, exceeding the smelting period required for [[Copper Ore]], [[Iron Ore]], or [[Gold Ore]].
