"How else am I supposed to supply an illegal arms trade?"

This is the optimized path for completing the iron run.

Introduction

The iron run consists of collecting iron, processing it into iron ingots, and selling the finished product to the iron trader. Being a legal run, this run will not get you into any trouble with the Altis police and is eligible for speed and profit bonuses when doing this run with a Worker's Protection License (WPL).

Starting the Run

Before starting this run, it is strongly recommended to check the price of iron for optimal profits and to follow the list below to make sure you have all the required equipment.

A pickaxe (Purchased at gas stations/markets) Required for collecting iron
Food & Water
Bergen Backpack for space
A large vehicle to store the most iron
Iron processing license ($9,500 at the DMV)

To process, scroll wheel on the Processor NPC underneath the overhang, you can either process from the vehicle or from your backpack and must remain 25m of the NPC.
Before pressing Process, it will give you the time required to process. Canceling processing will process items up to the progress you obtained

Selling

After finishing processing take your vehicle to the iron trader east of DP12
Scroll wheel on the iron trader to sell your iron ingots on your person, you will need to manually remove the ingots from the vehicle to sell
When finished selling go to any ATM the closest being DP12 to store the money via scroll wheel or left windows key on the ATM

Traveling to the nearest ATM and storing your $367,920 will add an extra minute to the run's time.

-Due to high levels of humidity in Altis, domestic iron is often treated to prevent corrosive damage. The “Iron Maners” gang is very prevalent in this run. Despite wearing top-tier gear, they are often willing to lend a hand with protection or assistance in completing the run. Altis iron has been discovered in many illegal firearms production sites, with no apparent link to any mining group or company

-Before starting this run, it is strongly recommended to check the price of iron for optimal profits and to have all of your equipment operational and ready to go. A pickaxe, purchasable at gas stations and markets, is needed to mine the iron and collect it. Other recommended equipment would be a bergen backpack (most space), food & water, and a large [[Civilian Vehicles| vehicle]] to store the most iron (SUV, Truck Boxer, Zamak Truck). Once everything is ready, head to the iron mine and begin collecting iron ore by pressing the windows key when in the mine’s immediate area.

-Once iron ore has been loaded and collected, it needs to be refined into iron ingots to be sold for money. From the iron mine, heading east via the main road or dirt roads will lead to the iron processing location. Once here, iron ore can be turned into ingots via scrollwheel option on the main processor device inside the processing building.

-Finally, after the ingots have been collected post-processing, they can be taken to the iron trader next to DP12, north of Neochori. With all of the iron ingots on hand, using the scrollwheel option on the iron trader NPC will sell all of the goods and directly deposit money into the inventory. This money is not deposited into the player's bank; the money must be stored via an ATM to be in a player’s bank. If death or robbery occurs with this money on hand, it can be lost or taken by other players.
