Ingot: Difference between revisions

'''Ingots''' are the [[metal]] materials used to create items when [[smithing]].

__TOC__

One ingot is equivalent to 100 units or 20 nuggets of base metal/alloy components. Players create ingots from ore nuggets using two methods. All metals or alloys with ''melting temperatures below 1300°C'' can be created using the [[casting]] mechanic. The process of [[molds|molding]] all base [[metal]]s or alloys (except iron) is provided on the [[casting]] page. Iron has a ''melting temperature above 1300°C'' and ingots must be crafted using the [[bloomery]]. See the bloomery page for detailed instructions to use the bloomery functional block.

Ingots may also be found in chests or [[Loot Vessels|loot vessels]] 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]]

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

Ingots made of metals with melting temperatures under 1300°C can be smelted in a [[crucible]] and used to fill tool or item [[molds]]. When smelted, one ingot returns 100 metal units.

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

''Note:'' Most of the ingots here are unobtainable through normal survival game play.
