I wonder why there are Goblins mentioned in the Ore-section on the right? Because they are an abundant source of iron, too? --Doub 09:58, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

goblins are considered the 4th iron ore, in fact, goblins are an infinite source because sieges never stop(as far as i know)
its an inferior source because most of the armour gives back little iron.(plate is like 1/2 bar) for every armoured goblin defeated, you gain approximately 1 bar. but yea, it is a source of iron in places free of magnetite, hematite, "and" limonite. unsigned comment by Eerr
Goblins weapons are also iron like 90% of the time; occasionally leaders have steel. While not a great source, it's still fairly substantial for a location low on iron deposits. HeWhoIsPale 08:15, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Laaaame, someone took out 'Goblins' as an iron ore. I'd put it back in, but since I was the one who put it in I wanted to check with people via talk page first. Yes, they're not -ore-. I'd put D for Dwarf but one joke isn't really enough for a whole page being marked as injokes. Grath 07:45 PM, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

I removed goblins from the ore section. If fine and dandy to talk about goblins being the best source of iron, but when you start talking about them as an ore (smelting goblins?) then things start to get silly. VengefulDonut 19:53, 27 September 2008 (EDT)
You do recall which game this wiki is about, right? A little silliness is good sometimes. Grath 18:12, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
smelts a goblin for 1 iron bar Magma entrance + goblin siege = iron ? Jerethi50 14:16, 24 October 2008 (EDT)


Pardon me, there are ores in igneous intrusive layers (tetrahedrite IIRC). Thanks for merging my Iron ore article with Iron, by the way.
