Dark Iron ore
--> Dark Iron is a rare type of iron in Blizzard
Entertainment's MMORPGWorld of Warcraft. Dark Iron is used
in high level crafting, mostly by Blacksmiths
and Engineers.
It is only found in Blackrock Mountain, Burning Steppes, and
now in Searing Gorge as a drop or mined. Furthermore it
can only be smelted in
the furnace in the
bottom of Blackrock Depths (8 ore to 1 ingot), near the entrance to the Molten Core. The only place
to smith or engineer Dark Iron items is the Black Anvil guarded by
Lord
Incendus. Acquiring the knowledge to smelt it one must bring a
tribute of gold & rubies to the tomb in BRD and make an
offering (before one engages the ghosts in combat!).
