'''Iridium Ore''' is a [[:Category:Resources|resource]] found in [[Mining#Mining Nodes|Iridium Nodes]], [[Mining#Mining Nodes|Mystic Stones]], [[Magma Geode]]s, and [[Omni Geode]]s. It is also a rare drop from high level [[Monsters]], and can be found in [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chests]] and [[Random Events#Meteorite|meteorites]] on the farm. The [[Statue of Perfection]] produces 2-8 Iridium Ore per day.

==Where to Acquire==
==Locations==
* [[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.
* [[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.

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. 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.
* Iridium nodes themselves are extremely rare in at least floor 115-120 of [[The Mines]], however Iridium Nodes and Mystic Stones can be found in the [[Quarry]].
* Purple slimes in the [[Skull Cavern]] or a [[Slime Hutch]] have a chance to drop both iridium ore and bars. Slimes may give more iridium than you will find from mining iridium nodes in the Skull Cavern.
* 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 get it from fallen [[Random Events#Meteorite|meteorites]].

To further enhance geode frequency, choose the [[Mining#Mining Skill|Geologist Profession]] at [[mining]] level 5 and the [[Mining#Mining Skill|Excavator Profession]] at [[mining]] level 10.
* A fallen [[Random Events#Meteorite|meteorite]] on [[The Farm]] will drop 6 Iridium Ore.
* The [[Traveling Cart]] will occasionally sell it for {{tprice|100}}.
