Items

Electrum is an alloy made from silver and gold. It is used for a variety of new machines. Its uses are hinted at in resonance archives, added in version 1.18.0.

Obtaining

As an alloy, electrum is not naturally occurring and must be created by the player. Electrum is created from a mixture of 40-60% silver to 40-60% gold. These ores must then be cast in a crucible to create electrum, which can then be poured into prepared molds for use. Once cast into ingots, it can also be smithed on an anvil to create plates.

Since electrum has a smelting temperature of 1010°C, casting it will require the use of any type of coal, coke, or charcoal.

Usage

Currently, only electrum ingots and plates can be made and used. Electrum plates can be re-smelted into two electrum ingots, making them infinitely recyclable.

Electrum ingots are used to craft:

• Electrum plates
• Rift ward

Electrum plates are used to craft:

• Night vision mask
• Resonator
• Base return teleporter
• Terminus teleporter

Electrum ingots can be combined with a chisel in the crafting grid to return electrum bits, which can be re-cast and reused. Electrum ingots can be stacked on the ground, stored in a display case, or stacked on shelves.

Progression

Electrum, along with cupronickel is used exclusively to craft advanced technological components that provide several major new functions. Since these new machines require significant investments in time and materials, and require rare parts that drop only from powerful enemies like corrupt sawblade locusts, it is an item that will largely only be used by endgame, well-geared players.
