Copper is found as '''native copper''', and '''malachite''' chunks. | 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. | Copper is very likely to be the first metal most players obtain.

Iron is the best metal currently in the game. Unlike copper, it 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]]. Iron is used to create the highest tier tools and [[armor]]. | Iron is the best metal currently in the game. Unlike copper, it can't be found on the ground.
