Iron is widely used in the making of weapons and armor. It is a required component of many of the weaponsmithing skill uses, and is also used for applying a metal tip to ship rams and battering rams. An iron roof provides a protective cover for battering rams.

The character must be in a mine shaft to USE 1701. The quantity of iron obtained will vary with the depth of the shaft, and whether or not the supply of iron at that level has been mined out. Iron is commonly found at relatively shallow depths.

If [days] is not specified, the character will mine for 7 days.
