Many items in the game are made of metal including tools, weapons, armor, and lanterns. There are eleven base metals, which can be found in raw [[Ore Deposits|ore]] form. Eight of the base metals have a current use, while three base metals have no current use. Base metals with melting points at or below 1300°C can be melted in a [[crucible]] and cast into [[ingots]] or used to create [[casting#alloys|alloys]] when combined in specific ratios. Metals with melting temperatures higher than 1300°C require a [[bloomery]] to smelt and form ingots. | Many items in the game are made of metal including tools, weapons, armor, and lanterns.

Revision as of 22:38, 25 May 2020
Many items in the game are made of metal including tools, weapons, armor, and lanterns. There are eleven base metals, which can be found in raw ore form. Eight of the base metals have a current use, while three base metals have no current use. Base metals with melting points at or below 1300°C can be melted in a crucible and cast into ingots or used to create alloys when combined in specific ratios. Metals with melting temperatures higher than 1300°C require a bloomery to smelt and form ingots.
Base metals
Copper
Copper Ingot | |
Stackable | 16 |
Smeltable | |
Smelt Point | 1084°C |
Requires Container | Yes |
Items |
Copper is found as native copper, and malachite chunks and nuggets.
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 all alloys, including: brass, tin bronze, black bronze, bismuth bronze, and molybdochalkos.

Lead
Lead Ingot | |
Stackable | 16 |
Smeltable | |
Smelt Point | 327°C |
Requires Container | Yes |
Items |
Lead is found only as galena chunks and nuggets.
Lead is only used as a component of the alloy molybdochalkos. The base metal is the only metal that can be worked when cold, but lead itself has no use as the only item created from its ingots are plates, which are not used to craft anything.
Iron
Iron Ingot | |
Stackable | 16 |
Smeltable | |
Smelt Point | 1482°C |
Requires Container | Yes |
Items |
Iron is found as limonite, hematite, and magnetite chunks and nuggets or in Iron meteorite.
Iron is the best metal currently in the game. Unlike copper, it 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. Iron is used to create the highest tier tools and armor.
Iron meteorite piece unlike nuggets turns directly into iron ingots after processed with the bloomery but mining meteoritic iron require a tier 4 pickaxe, rarely pieces can be found directly on ground.
Alloys
Alloys are created using the casting mechanic. For more information on alloys, see the casting page.
