Trying to find iron?

[Rhinochild]

Just FYI for those of us struggling to find crypts, you can also find small iron deposits in swamp with the wishbone. I don't think I found a deposit with more than 5 scrap iron, but it's better than nothing.

yep. 2H hammers can find those deposits too. Used to be a lot of people who'd do no-boss runs, so no crypts and no wishbone. Can be done, and not too hard, just time consuming to get all your iron that way.

What do you mean by 2H hammers?

Stagbreaker and Iron sledgehammer for example. You smash them against the ground until it says "Too hard" to find iron / silver.

Be mindful that some trees and such will return "Too hard" as well. So you might have to clear a few things or just try it in an open area.

clever.

Probably faster to just hunt and kill the Ooze things though since they can also drop iron.

[Jaasrg]

Why not both?
Wiki lists 33% drop rate on iron on the oozers and they're not that common.

If anyone does find a crypt and doesn't have the key, they can put a chair as close as possible to the door and sit in it and will be pushed into the crypt. Unless that has been fixed of course!

iron in the swamp returns "0" not "too hard". Silver returns "Too hard" But other than that small detail, JimmyLurks is spot on.

Sounds spooky. Are you sure it's a bug?

Ah, thanks for the correction It was a while since I did it.

I hope it's not a bug because I don't always like to carry my key around when I explore / go mining. It takes a little while to find the right spot, but once you do, it works like a charm
