=== [[Copper]] ===

|Name=Copper Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Copper is very likely to be the first metal most players obtain. It can be found in small stone surface deposits that provide smeltable ore nuggets when broken, thus a [[hammer]] isn't needed. Copper nuggets can also be obtained by [[panning]]. A high temperature [[fuel]] such as [[charcoal]] is needed to smelt copper, which can be used to make every type of weapon, tool, and [[armor]] via the [[casting]] and [[smithing]] mechanics. Copper is also used as a component in almost all alloys, including: brass, tin bronze, black bronze, bismuth bronze, molybdochalkos and cupronickel.

=== [[Gold]] === <!--T:4-->

|Name=Gold Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Gold is a rare metal that is used to make the alloys black bronze and electrum. Gold can be used to craft lanterns and armor. Gold plates can be used to create a lining for lanterns to increase their light level. Gold nuggets can sometimes be obtained by [[panning]].

=== [[Silver]] === <!--T:5-->

|Name=Silver Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Silver is a rare metal that is used to make the alloys black bronze and electrum. It is also used to craft [[Alcohol_brewing#Solderbars|solderbars]]. Silver can be used to craft lanterns and armor. Silver plates can be used to create a lining for lanterns to increase their light level. Silver nuggets can sometimes be obtained by [[panning]].

=== [[Tin]] === <!--T:6-->

|Name=Tin Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Tin is used as a component of the alloy Tin Bronze. It is also used to craft lead and silver [[Alcohol_brewing#Solderbars|solderbars]].

=== [[Zinc]] === <!--T:7-->

|Name=Zinc Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Zinc is used as a component of the alloys brass and bismuth bronze. The base metal has no current use. Zinc in the form of sphalerite nuggets can sometimes be obtained by [[panning]].

=== [[Bismuth]] === <!--T:8-->

|Name=Bismuth Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

=== [[Lead]] === <!--T:9-->

|Name=Lead Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Lead is used as a component of the alloy molybdochalkos. It is also used to make [[Alcohol_brewing#Solderbars|solder bars]]. The base metal is the only metal that can be worked when cold. Lead ingots are used to craft [[Glass#Leaded_glass_pane|leaded glass panes]].

=== [[Iron]] === <!--T:10-->

|Name=Iron Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Unlike copper, iron can't be found on the ground. It does appear in rocks and requires a tier 3 (Bronze) [[pickaxe]] to mine. A bronze anvil is also needed to work iron. Due to the high melting temperature, Iron can only be smelted in a [[bloomery]].  

===[[Meteoric iron]]=== <!--T:17-->

|Name=Meteoric Iron Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Meteoric iron can be found in meteoric crash sites in the form of meteoric iron blocks. Crash sites can be identified as slight indentions in the landscapes, sometimes surrounded by suevite stones and meteoric iron pieces similar to surface metal bits. One crash site can have one or more meteoric iron blocks, the player might need to dig down through a dirt layer to find the surrounding [[suevite]] rocks around the meteoric iron blocks.

To mine meteoric iron, an iron pickaxe or better is required. Similar to iron, meteoric iron can only be smelted in a [[bloomery]], however it does not produce a bloom and instead results directly in a finished meteoric iron ingot. Two pieces of meteoric iron are needed for every meteoric iron ingot.

==[[Steel|Steel Types]]== <!--T:19-->

|Name=Blister Steel

Blister Steel is made by carbonizing Iron. It cannot be found naturally in the world, instead the player needs to follow the [[Steel Making]] process to obtain it. Blister Steel is the preliminary stage to obtaining steel, and functions the same way iron blooms do. It cannot be used to make tools, weapons or armor, and only functions as a step between iron and steel.

|Name=Steel Ingot

|RequiresContainer=Yes

Steel is made by working blister steel on an anvil by hand or with the help of a helve hammer. It can only be worked on an iron anvil. Steel is used to create the highest tier tools and [[armor]].

[[Casting#Alloy_Ratios|Alloys]] are created using the casting mechanic. For more information on alloys, see the [[casting]] page. Two notable alloys include [[bronze]] and [[brass]].
