== Usage ==
Lead is used as a component of the [[casting|alloys]] molybdochalkos and lead solder. Furthermore, making leaded glass panels requires one lead ingot for every glass pane.


While pure lead ingots are the only ones in the game that can be worked on an anvil while cold, pure lead itself has almost no use in smithing. The only item that can be made from lead is a lead plate - requiring 2 ingots - which can only be used in the crafting of an Archimedes screw.
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]].
 
=== Alloys ===
 
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]].
