== Iron ==
Next up is [[iron]], this is the hardest part. To find iron activate your pickaxe, right click on a tile that says "rock" and choose "prospect" from the "mining" submenmu, finding iron is very difficult and you may have to search through hundreds of rock tiles before you manage to find an iron mine - its basicly complete luck. Well, when you have found your precious iron mine its time to start mining it to get to the ore, the "mine" options is also found in the "mining" submenu. Each mining action will deliver 20kg ore. Now you want to get to the iron inside the rock of these ores so you will have to smelt them, you do this by getting yourself another of those fancy logs and with your axe "create" a [[kindling]] from it, once you have this little nifty piece of wood you select your steel and flint, right click on the kindling and create a [[campfire]] with it (its under the container submenu). Now that you have your campfire its time to get smelting! Rightclick on your campfire and "open" it, drag the ore from your inventory to the campfires inventory. Next theres waiting - lots of it. I suggest you mine more ore while you do this but of course if you want to idle you can do that too. Right click on the ore and examine it to check how hot it is, once it reaches "glowing hot" you are very close to get your [[iron lumpIron Lump]]. When the ore has smelted it is replaced by a 1kg iron lump [[Iron Lump]] in the campfire, you will need atleast 2kg for the next step.
== Iron Anvil ==
The [[iron anvil]] is a crucial tool in wurm and this is what you will create now, get your 2 lumps [[Iron Lump]] from the campfire, (they have to be glowing hot for this to work) and activate one of them, rightclick on the other and choose combine. Now activate mallet you made earlier and right click on the 2kg lump[[Iron Lump]], again choose create and pick iron anvil. If you are extremly lucky you will pull this off at the first try, if you dont put your [[iron scraps ]] in the fire and let them smelt again so they can become lumps [[Iron Lump]] once more (this take a shitload of time though so rather mine you some more ore and smelt it up). Repeat till you have your anvil.
== Nails ==
Nails! This is what you need to keep your house together, large iron nails. Pick up a lump [[Iron Lump]] of atleast 0.3kg and activate it, right click on your anvil and create, tools, large iron nails. When you succeed with this you will get a handful of [[Large Nails]], you'll need one of these handfuls per wall of your house.
