How to Smelt Crimson Iron Ores in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur

Crimson Iron Ores drop from maps, and it is one of the most common ores in the game. You even see them spawn in the campaign. Once you have these Crimson Iron Ores, you need workers who specialize in Mining to get them. They will automatically go to your resources tab in Kingsmarch.

To smelt these Crimson Iron Ores into Crimson Iron Bars, you need to unlock the Smelting feature in Kingsmarch. After setting up your Smelter, recruit workers from the town hall or Gaulf. These workers need to have the Smelting specialty to work efficiently in the Smelter.

Once you have your workers, go to the managing tab and click the hammer or smelting icon. Assign these workers to the corresponding ores you want to smelt. Each ore will have its own category, so you can not increase production by assigning all areas to smelt Crimson Iron Ores.

At this point, you only have to wait until these workers start smelting Crimson Iron Bars. While you are waiting, you can start farming currency.

All these upgrades are important, but if you were to choose, you should go for Farming and Shipping since these help you get more currency from ship trading. These two also need the bulk of your Crimson Iron Bars, so you would need thousands of them, including hundreds and thousands of gold, to complete the upgrades.

Apart from upgrades, Crimson Iron Bars also increase the shipment value when using the shipping trades. Putting Crimson Iron Bars increases the quality of armor when you claim your reward from the shipping trades. The same goes for Orichalcum Bars. If you want to increase currency rewards from shipping trades, you need to trade crops instead. However, getting armor is still profitable, and you might even get a Headhunter or a Mageblood.
