Many items in the game are made of metal including tools and weapons. There are many different variants of metal, each one with their own melting point. There are base metals which can be found in raw [[Ore_Deposits|ore]] form in the ground, there are alloys that are made by combining the base metals in certain ratios, and then there are metals that can only be obtained from ore dropped from ruins for which there is no current use. Anything with a melting point at or below 1300 can be melted down in a [[crucible]] but anything higher must use a [[bloomery]].

Many items in the game are made of metal including tools, weapons, armor, and lanterns. There are eleven base metals, which can be found in raw [[Ore Deposits|ore]] form. Eight of the base metals have a current use, while three base metals have no current use. Base metals with melting points at or below 1300°C can be melted in a [[crucible]] and cast into [[ingots]] or used to create [[casting#alloys|alloys]] when combined in specific ratios. Metals with melting temperatures higher than 1300°C require a [[bloomery]] to smelt and form ingots.

== Base metals == <!--T:3-->
=== Copper ===

}}
Copper is found as '''native copper''', and '''malachite''' chunks and nuggets.
 
Copper is very likely to be the first metal most players obtain. It can be found in small stone surface deposits that provide smeltable ore nuggets when broken, thus a [[hammer]] isn't needed. Copper nuggets can also be obtained by [[panning]]. A high temperature [[fuel]] such as [[charcoal]] is needed to smelt copper, which can be used to make every type of weapon, tool, and [[armor]] via the [[casting]] and [[smithing]] mechanics. Copper is also used as a component in all alloys, including: brass, tin bronze, black bronze, bismuth bronze, and molybdochalkos.

=== Gold === <!--T:4-->
{{Item

|FloatLeft=yes
|Margin=yes
}}
Gold is found only as '''native gold in quartz''' chunks which give '''native gold''' nuggets.
 
Gold is a rare metal that is used to make the alloy black bronze. Gold can be used to craft lanterns and armor. Gold nuggets can sometimes be obtained by [[panning]].

}}
Silver is found as '''native silver in quartz''', and '''native silver in galena''' chunks which both give '''native silver''' nuggets.
 
Silver is a rare metal that is used to make the alloy black bronze. Silver can be used to craft lanterns and armor. Silver nuggets can sometimes be obtained by [[panning]].

Tin is found only as '''cassiterite''' chunks and nuggets.
 
Tin is only used as a component of the alloy Tin Bronze.

=== Zinc === <!--T:7-->
{{Item

|FloatLeft=yes
|Margin=yes
}}
Zinc is found only as '''sphalerite''' chunks and nuggets.
 
Zinc is used as a component of the alloys brass and bismuth bronze. The base metal has no current use. Zinc in the form of sphalerite nuggets can sometimes be obtained by [[panning]].

=== Bismuth === <!--T:8-->
{{Item

|NoBreak=yes
|FloatLeft=yes
|Margin=yes
}}
Bismuth is found only as '''bismuthinite''' chunks and nuggets.
 
Bismuth is used as a component of the alloy bismuth bronze. Bismuth itself can only be used to make lanterns.
{{-}}
=== Lead === <!--T:9-->
{{Item

|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=327
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|NoBreak=yes
|FloatLeft=yes
|Margin=yes
}}
Lead is found only as '''galena''' chunks and nuggets.
 
Lead is only used as a component of the alloy molybdochalkos. The base metal is the only metal that can be worked when cold, but lead itself has no use as the only item created from its ingots are plates, which are not used to craft anything.
{{-}}
=== Iron === <!--T:10-->
{{Item
|Name=Iron Ingot
|Image=File:Ingot-iron.png
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=1482
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|NoBreak=yes
|FloatLeft=yes
|Margin=yes
}}
Iron is found as '''limonite''', '''hematite''', and '''magnetite''' chunks and nuggets.
 
<!--T:11-->
Unlike copper, iron can't be found on the ground. It does appear in rocks and requires a tier 3 (Bronze) [[pickaxe]] to mine. A bronze anvil is also needed to work iron. Due to the high melting temperature, Iron can only be smelted in a [[bloomery]].
{{-}}
 
===Meteoric Iron===
{{Item
|Name=Meteoric Iron Ingot
|Image=File:Ingot-meteoriciron.png
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=1488
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|NoBreak=yes
|FloatLeft=yes
|Margin=yes
}}
Meteoric Iron can be found in meteoric crash sites in the form of Meteoric Iron blocks. Crash sites can be identified as slight indentions in the landscapes, sometimes surrounded by suevite stones and  meteoric iron pieces similar to surface metal bits. One crash site can have one or more meteoric iron blocks, the player might need to dig down through a dirt layer to find the surrounding [[Suevite]] rocks around the meteoric iron blocks.
 
To mine meteoric iron, an iron pickaxe or better is required. Similar to iron, meteoric iron can only be smelted in a [[bloomery]], however it does not produce a bloom and instead results directly in a finished meteoric iron ingot. Two pieces of meteoric iron are needed for every meteoric iron ingot.<br>
Meteoric Iron can only be worked on a tier 3 anvil, meaning you will need at least an iron anvil to be able to work meteoric iron ingots.

==Steel Types==
===Blister Steel===
{{Item
|Name=Blister Steel
|Image=File:Ingot-blistersteel.png
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=1602
|SmeltDuration=
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|NoBreak=yes
|FloatLeft=yes
|Margin=yes
}}
Blister Steel is made by carbonizing Iron. It cannot be found naturally in the world, instead the player needs to follow the [[Steel Making]] process to obtain it. Blister Steel is the preliminary stage to obtaining steel, and functions the same way iron blooms do. It cannot be used to make tools, weapons or armor, and only functions as a step between iron and steel.

===Steel===
{{Item
|Name=Steel Ingot
|Image=File:Ingot-steel.png
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=1502
|SmeltDuration=
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|NoBreak=yes
|FloatLeft=yes
|Margin=yes
}}
Steel is made by working blister steel on an anvil by hand or with the help of a helve hammer. It can only be worked on an iron anvil. Steel is used to create the highest tier tools and [[armor]].

== Alloys == <!--T:13-->
[[Casting#Alloy_Ratios|Alloys]] are created using the casting mechanic. For more information on alloys, see the [[casting]] page.
