Sorry Sorry! You should be able to farm iron ingots from werewolves. For the unable to enter the damp cave thing, can you point me more detail? I'll try to fix them later on!
How do I get to the werewolves though? For the damp cave, if I'm not wrong, it's supposed to be found when you search around Sparkling Lagoon, right? I've been searching and the most I get are items and not the entrance.
Dungeons are almost all quest specific! You'll have to meet the goats first~ if you're stuck on some specific path, try exploring the woodland outpost at night!
Do you mean the one where you can choose to touch Lothar? The advanced battle training where you fight the advanced dummy? If so, yes. But I never get that probability.
