Items |
Iron is a Tier 4 metal. Iron can be refined through a complex process from its ores, which are hematite, magnetite or limonite. Iron may be smithed into a variety of tools, weapons, armor and items. It is a component for steel, the highest tier metal in the game.
Obtaining
Ores
There are two types of copper-containing ores in the game:
- Malachite
- Native copper
These ores may appear as surface deposits, or as deep native copper veins. Copper ores can be detected through the use of a prospecting pick. Mining copper ores with a pickaxe creates ore chunks, which must be further smashed with a hammer to yield useable nuggets.
Bloomery
Usage
Smithing
Copper ingots can be heated in a forge and smithed using an anvil and hammer into a variety of items. Some copper items can only be made via smithing, such as copper plates or saws.
