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.

Alloys

See also steel.
