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|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 [[ | Copper is very likely to be the first metal most players obtain.

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 currently included in VS, including: brass, tin bronze, black bronze, bismuth bronze, and molybdochalkos. | ||
