Black Iron is a dark, pitted metal texture Roblox has been stamping onto its own accessories since 2007, and nine Black Iron items are Limiteds with live prices today. A Limited is an item Roblox stopped selling, so the only copies left are the ones players already own, and you get one by buying it from another player or trading for it. The line stretches from a 2008 contest prize to a 2018 hat half a million people bought, and the price gap inside it is huge. The Black Iron King of the Night has a RAP of 2,222,951 Robux across 201 copies. The Black Iron Branches sits at 1,440 Robux across 518,276 copies.
Quick answer: The Black Iron series is Roblox's dark metal retexture line, started in July 2007 and extended on and off until 2021. Nine members are Limiteds you can buy or trade for right now. The Black Iron King of the Night (201 copies) is the most valuable by a wide margin, the Black Iron Bucket of Ultimate Pwnage (748 copies) is second, and the Black Iron Fabergé Egg is the cheapest at 686 Robux RAP in RBX Invest catalog data as of September 4, 2026.

Rows run in the order traders actually value these items, which here matches RAP order top to bottom. RAP means Recent Average Price, Roblox's smoothed average of what copies have sold for. "Cheapest listing" is the resale floor, the lowest price anyone is currently asking. All figures are RBX Invest catalog data as of September 4, 2026.
What is the Black Iron series on Roblox? A dark metal retexture line
Black Iron is a material, not a hat. Roblox takes an accessory that already exists, swaps its texture for scorched black metal, and ships it as a separate item. That is a retexture, and the Roblox Wiki files Black Iron as a texture series alongside lines like Adurite, Bluesteel and Wanwood.
That makes it a different shape of family from most series on this site. The Korblox line is one design in several colorways. Black Iron is one finish spread across unrelated items: a bucket, a ring, antlers, a face mask, an egg. Line all nine up and the only thing they share is the shade of dark grey.
The community wiki dates the first Black Iron item to July 2007 and the last to February 2021, which makes it one of the longest running ideas in Roblox's own catalog. Nothing has been added since. Most of the family's members are not Limiteds at all: the wiki lists more than twenty Black Iron accessories plus three pieces of gear, including a Bathelm, a Visor, Shutter Shades, a Cape and a Domino Crown of Interns. Those either never went Limited or never sold to the public, so they have no RAP and no market. The nine in the table above are the tradeable ones.
One more Limited carries the words without belonging here: the Adurite Fedora with Black Iron Accent, filed under Adurite because the hat is red with a black trim, at 23,981 Robux RAP across 10,432 copies.
For more of this look, the classic hats collection and the crowns collection hold the rest of Roblox's own headwear.
What was the first Black Iron item? A 2007 award crown almost nobody owns
The Black Iron Crown of Pwnage was created on July 31, 2007 under Roblox's account, and it is where the whole texture comes from. Its description is pure early Robloxia: "In the first epoch of Robloxia, these crowns of dark pitted metal were given only to the most godlike lethal warriors."
The Roblox Wiki records it as published by Shedletsky, the admin most players know as Telamon, first awarded to the player who reached 10,000 knockouts before anyone else, then handed to the winner of the Roblox Grand Melee contest a month later. The wiki counts fourteen known owners. That is community-documented history rather than anything Roblox publishes today, and the original 2007 blog post announcing it is long gone.
You cannot buy it. It is not a Limited and never sold to the public, so it has no RAP and no listings. It matters because everything else in this article inherited its texture.
Which Black Iron item is worth the most? The King of the Night, by a wide margin
The Black Iron King of the Night went on sale in June 2016 for 1,000 Robux with 200 copies in stock, and it belongs to two families at once: Black Iron and the Crowns of the Night line. Our catalog shows 201 copies, a RAP of 2,222,951 Robux, and a cheapest listing of 10,000,000.
It was sold as a Limited Unique, meaning Roblox capped the stock and gave every copy a serial number, so an owner can point at the exact copy they hold. Our serial numbers explainer covers why low serials sometimes carry a premium.
Two things are worth understanding before you go shopping. Trader consensus puts its real value above its RAP, not below, which tells you the last recorded sales were cheap next to what holders will actually part with a copy for. And that 10,000,000 Robux ask is not a price, it is a hope: on a 201-copy item a seller can park a listing anywhere and wait years.
Buying at 1,000 Robux in 2016 and holding to a seven-figure RAP is the best return in the line, and it happened because 200 copies is a small print. A print is the total number of copies that exist.
Why is the Black Iron Bucket so expensive? 748 copies and a joke price tag
The Black Iron Bucket of Ultimate Pwnage is the second most valuable member at 421,343 Robux RAP, and its origin is one of the better stories in the catalog. Roblox created it on August 30, 2013 for that year's Labor Day sale and priced it at 13,337 Robux, a spelled-out "leet" joke, on a timer the wiki records as thirteen hours. Not many players had 13,337 Robux to spend on a bucket in 2013, so it sold badly, and that is exactly why it is scarce now at 748 copies. It went Limited a year later during the 2014 Labor Day sale.
Its description, "I can has pwnage?", is a 2013 meme frozen in place. The rest of the Bucket family is a separate line, and our sale events guide explains how these timed drops still work.
The resale floor here is 430,000 Robux against a 421,343 RAP. Two numbers that close together mean a market trading often enough to agree with itself.
What are the oldest Black Iron Limiteds? A 2008 contest ring and a 2009 gift helm
Black Iron Ring of Olympia, July 2008
The Black Iron Ring of Olympia is the oldest tradeable member, created on July 31, 2008 and sold for 750 Robux during Roblox's Olympics contest, which asked players to favorite Olympic-themed places built by other players. It went off sale about a month later and became a Limited in 2012.
403 copies exist and its RAP is 64,645 Robux, but the cheapest listing is 139,999, more than double. That gap is what a thin market looks like. RAP only moves when a copy sells, and on a 403-copy item from 2008 copies almost never sell, so the number you see was set by trades that may be years old. Sellers know it, price above it, and wait.
Black Iron Warhelm of Pwnage, May 2009
The Black Iron Warhelm of Pwnage never had a price. It came out of a gift box in May 2009, back when Roblox handed out items through boxes you claimed and then opened. 3,257 copies exist, RAP is 5,624 Robux, and the cheapest listing is 5,499. A genuine 2009 Roblox item for under 6,000 Robux is one of the odder deals in the classic market, and it is there because gift boxes went out to thousands of players at once.
Which Black Iron Limiteds are affordable? Everything under 120,000 Robux
Black Iron Horns
The Black Iron Horns dropped in January 2017 at 2,000 Robux with 10,000 copies in stock, and the wiki notes it took more than four months to sell out. That slow sellout is worth remembering: a 10,000-copy item now carries a 117,442 Robux RAP, roughly 59 times its release price, and steady demand for the horn silhouette is a large part of why. The wider horns collection and our Horns series history cover the rest of that shape.
Black Iron Antlers and Black Iron Branches
The Black Iron Antlers sold for 500 Robux in April 2016 and then came back on timers during later sale events, which is why 72,346 copies exist and RAP is only 11,181 Robux. The Antlers series article covers its siblings. The Black Iron Branches is the mass-market end of the line: 518,276 copies, 1,440 Robux RAP, and a resale floor of 1,600. It is the cheapest way to wear the texture.
Black Iron Commando and the Black Iron Fabergé Egg
The Black Iron Commando is a face accessory rather than a hat, released at 50 Robux in July 2017 and made Limited during the 2018 Presidents' Day sale. 94,127 copies, 3,698 Robux RAP. It is the seventh entry in the Commando line.
The Black Iron Fabergé Egg was a prize in Egg Hunt 2014 that did not go Limited until 2022. At 686 Robux RAP across 20,909 copies it is the cheapest Black Iron item you can own, and it doubles as a member of the Fabergé egg family. The eggs collection has the rest.
One note on copy counts. They come from Roblox's live data and sometimes sit a copy or two above the stock number Roblox originally announced, while community editors on the Roblox Wiki count fewer surviving copies on some older items. Use them to compare items against each other rather than as an exact census.
What does it cost to resell a Black Iron Limited? Roblox keeps 30%
Every item in the table was made by Roblox, which makes them classic Limiteds. Classic Limiteds can be traded player to player and resold on the item's own page.
On a resale, Roblox takes a 30% marketplace fee and you keep 70%. Sell a Black Iron Horns at 120,000 Robux and 84,000 lands in your account. That also means the price has to rise about 1.43 times what you paid before you break even, so a copy bought at 100,000 needs to sell near 143,000 just to get your Robux back. Community-created items work differently: Roblox's marketplace fee documentation sets the UGC Limited resale split at 50% to the reseller, 10% to the creator, 10% to the seller, and 30% to Roblox, so a UGC reseller keeps half.
Three rules to plan around:
- Buying a classic Limited from a reseller starts a 7-day holding period before you can resell it. Receiving one in a trade starts a 2-day one. Our holding periods guide has the details.
- Trading needs an active Roblox Plus subscription on both accounts, and reselling needs one on the seller's account. Buying a resale copy needs no subscription.
- RAP is not a price you can get. Read our RAP explainer before you value a collection off it.
None of this is financial advice. Limited prices fall as often as they rise, and the top of this line costs more than most players will ever hold at once.
Are Black Iron items worth buying in 2026? An honest read
The cheap end is the interesting end. Under 12,000 Robux gets you the Antlers, the Warhelm, the Commando, the Branches or the egg, all real Roblox items with dates and stories attached, all common enough that you can sell one when you want to. A cheap item you can exit beats an expensive one you cannot.
The middle is where the thinking happens. The Horns has 10,022 copies and trades regularly, so its RAP means something. The Ring of Olympia has 403 copies from 2008 and an ask more than double its RAP. One is a market, the other is a negotiation.
The King of the Night and the Bucket are gems, our word for a high-value Limited with a small print. Expect to hold one for years and to move it through a trade rather than a listing, because the pool of buyers who can cover seven figures of Robux is small.
The honest risk with the family is attention. Black Iron has never had the pull of a Dominus or a Valkyrie, and the texture is spread over so many unrelated shapes that it does not read as one collectible set the way a colorway line does. Quiet families stay quiet for long stretches. The items leaderboard tracks RAP and price changes across the catalog, the Deals feed flags listings that drop below RAP (signed-in accounts only), and the rarest Limiteds collection is a better screen than any single family if you are shopping the scarce end.

FAQ
What is the Black Iron series in Roblox?
The Black Iron series is a set of Roblox-made accessories that share one dark, pitted metal texture. Roblox applies the finish to an item that already exists and publishes it as a separate accessory, so the family includes a bucket, a ring, antlers, horns, a face mask, a crown and an egg. The Roblox Wiki dates the first Black Iron item to July 2007 and the last to February 2021.
How many Black Iron Limiteds are there?
Nine Black Iron items are Limiteds with live market data: the King of the Night, the Bucket of Ultimate Pwnage, the Horns, the Ring of Olympia, the Antlers, the Warhelm of Pwnage, the Commando, the Branches and the Fabergé Egg. The Roblox Wiki lists more than twenty other Black Iron accessories and three pieces of gear, but those never went Limited or never sold publicly, so they have no resale market.
Which Black Iron item is the most valuable?
The Black Iron King of the Night. It has 201 copies and a RAP of 2,222,951 Robux in RBX Invest catalog data as of September 4, 2026, with a cheapest listing of 10,000,000. The Black Iron Bucket of Ultimate Pwnage is second at 421,343 RAP across 748 copies. Nothing else in the family is above 120,000.
Can you still buy Black Iron items from Roblox?
No. Every Black Iron Limited is off sale, so Roblox itself sells none of them. You buy a copy from another player through the resale listings on the item's catalog page, or you trade for one. Buying a resale copy needs no subscription, but trading needs an active Roblox Plus subscription on both accounts.
What was the first Black Iron item on Roblox?
The Black Iron Crown of Pwnage, created on July 31, 2007. It was an award hat rather than a shop item, and the Roblox Wiki records it going to the first player to reach 10,000 knockouts and later to the winner of the Roblox Grand Melee contest. It is not a Limited and cannot be bought or traded, so it has no RAP.
Which Black Iron Limited is the cheapest?
The Black Iron Fabergé Egg, at 686 Robux RAP with a cheapest listing of 898. It came from Egg Hunt 2014 and has 20,909 copies. The Black Iron Branches is the next cheapest at 1,440 RAP, and the Black Iron Commando follows at 3,698.
Why is the Black Iron Ring of Olympia's cheapest listing double its RAP?
Because only 403 copies exist and they rarely sell. RAP updates a little at a time as copies trade, so on a thin item it lags behind what holders will actually accept, and the number you see may reflect sales from years ago. The Ring's RAP is 64,645 Robux while the lowest ask is 139,999. Neither figure is a guaranteed price, and the true clearing price sits somewhere between them.
How much Robux do you keep when you resell a Black Iron Limited?
You keep 70%. Roblox takes a 30% marketplace fee on resales of classic Limiteds, so a Black Iron Horns sold at 120,000 Robux pays you 84,000. Because of that cut, the price has to climb roughly 1.43 times what you paid before you break even. Community-created UGC Limiteds use a different split where the reseller keeps 50%.
