Lead is used to create lead solder, which is used to create [[Alcohol Brewing#Solderbars|distilling equipment]]. It is also a component for making [[Glass|leaded glass panels]]. | |||
Lead ingots can be [[Smithing|worked]] on an anvil without being heated. However, the only items that can be made this way are lead plates using two lead ingots. Lead plates can be used to make an [[Archimedes screw]]. | |||

Lead is used for molybdochalkos, at a ratio of 8-12% [[copper]] to 88-92% lead. Molybdochalkos plates can be used to make [[Light_sources#Lanterns|lanterns]] and the Archimedes screw. | |||
Lead can also be alloyed into lead solder ingots, at a ratio of 45-55% lead to 45-55% [[tin]]. | |||
