Iron bar
“It's a bar of iron.”
About this item
An iron bar is a bar of refined iron. It can be created through the Smithing skill at level 15 by using iron ore on a furnace, granting 12.5 Smithing experience. When smelting iron ore, there is a 50% chance that it will be too impure; it disappears, yielding no Smithing experience nor an iron bar. However, wearing a ring of forging, casting Superheat Item, or using the Blast Furnace would give a 100% success rate.

Its high alch value of 16 does not cover the 154 nature rune it would burn, so alching is a loss before the item itself is counted.

Measured with medians rather than averages, because one spike — an update, a streamer, a brief squeeze — drags an average around for weeks afterwards and makes everything since look ordinary.
