Iron Ore is a crafting item in Epic Battle Fantasy 4. It is a small chunk of raw iron used for forging numerous pieces of equipment with metal parts, mostly their first or second upgrades.
Iron Ore can be bought in the Misc Shop of Greenwood Village, Whitefall Town, and Goldenbrick Resort for 220 gold. To complete all of the relevant upgrades, 216 are needed; most of these will go towards forging the Knight Helmet (32 total) and the Knight Armor (59 total).

Trivia[]
- In addition to being the equipment that requires the most Iron Ore for forging, the Knight Helmet and the Knight Armor are the only pieces of equipment to require Iron Ore for an upgrade past Level 3.
- Although Iron Ore didn't return in Epic Battle Fantasy 5, the Iron Plate fills a similar niche in forging.
