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 [[Molds|ingots]] or used to create [[casting#alloys|alloys]] when combined in specific ratios.  Metal with melting temperatures higher than 1300°C (iron) requires a [[bloomery]] to smelt and form ingots.

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 [[smelting]] and [[smithing]] mechanics. Copper is also used as a component in all alloys currently included in VS, including: brass, tin bronze, black bronze, bismuth bronze, and molybdochalkos.
