The quest metallic collection doesn't recognise the item ID and therefore does not accept the Broken iron ore, making the quest uncompletable. Spoiler The quest consists of four sections. Iron Fragments, Crafting task, Hammer Ore Gravel and Ore Dust. Unsure if any of the sub sections are completable or not.
Tested in single player and it worked fine. Seems that the quest is set as a manual submit quest rather than a detection one. Spoiler
