Ingot: Difference between revisions

'''Ingots''' are a [[metal]] item, used both as a way to store metals but also for creating items when [[smithing]].

One ingot requires 100 units of metal, which is the equivalent of 20 nuggets. Players can create ingots from ore nuggets using two methods: [[casting]] or smithed after using a [[bloomery]]. All metals or alloys with ''melting temperatures below 1340°C'' can be created using the [[casting]] mechanic, with the aid of an ingot [[mold]] (1340°C is the burning temperature of [[coke]]).

[[Iron]], [[meteoric iron]] and [[steel]] have melting temperatures above 1340°C and so cannot be cast. Instead, iron and steel ore must be fired in a bloomery and then smithed on an [[anvil]] or [[helve hammer]] to create their ingots. Copper and gold ingots can also be crafted using bloomery.

Ingots may also be found in chests or [[cracked vessel]]s when exploring [[ruins]].

Ingots are used in [[smithing]]. When heated using a [[forge]] and worked on an [[anvil]], ingots are used to create:

* All metal [[Tools and Weapons]]

* Components for metal [[armor]]

* Components for [[shield]]s

* Plates for [[Light sources|Lanterns and Torch Holders]]

Ingots that can be cast can be re-melted, by first combining them with a [[chisel]] in the crafting grid, then placing the resulting [[metal bit]]s in a [[crucible]].

Ingots may be {{SneakClick|placed}} in a [[Ground Storage|stack]] of up to 64 ingots of one type of metal.
