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]].

=== Copper ===
{{Item

Copper is very likely to be the first metal most players obtain. It can be found in chunks on the ground that give nuggets when broken, thus a metal [[hammer]] isn't needed. [[Charcoal]] is needed to smelt copper. Copper can be used to make every type of metal tool and [[armor]]. It is also used in the alloys of [[brass]], [[tin bronze]], [[black bronze]], and [[bismuth bronze]], the most alloys out of any of the metals.
=== Iron ===
{{Item
|Name=Iron Ingot

|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=1482
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes

}}
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 [[pickaxe]] to mine. It technically requires a container to smelt but it can only be smelted in a [[bloomery]] because of its high smelting temperature. Iron makes the highest tier tools and [[armor]].
=== Gold ===
{{Item
|Name=Gold Ingot
|Image=[[File:Ingot-gold.png]]
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=1063
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|FloatLeft=left
}}
Gold is a rare metal that is used to make [[black bronze]] and tier 2 tools.
=== Silver ===
{{Item
|Name=Silver Ingot
|Image=[[File:Ingot-silver.png]]
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=961
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|FloatLeft=left
}}
Silver, much like gold, is rare. It is used to make [[black bronze]] and tier 2 tools.
=== Lead ===
{{Item
|Name=Lead Ingot
|Image=[[File:Ingot-lead.png]]
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=327
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|FloatLeft=left
}}
Lead is used to make [[molybdochalkos]] and has the unique property that it can be worked cold, but the only useful item are plates, as its armor components can't actually be used to make armor.
=== Tin ===
{{Item
|Name=Tin Ingot
|Image=[[File:Ingot-tin.png]]
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=232
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|FloatLeft=left
}}
Tin is a very important and somewhat rare metal. It is required to make [[bronze]], whos tools are the first attainable which can mine [[iron]] ores, and whos anvil is needed to work iron.
=== Zinc ===
{{Item
|Name=Zinc Ingot
|Image=[[File:Ingot-zinc.png]]
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=419
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|FloatLeft=left
}}
Zinc is used to make [[brass]], and [[bismuth bronze]]. On its own, zinc can't be used to make tools.
=== Bismuth ===
{{Item
|Name=Bismuth Ingot
|Image=[[File:Ingot-bismuth.png]]
|Stackable=16
|SmeltTemp=271
|SmeltDuration=30
|RequiresContainer=Yes
|FloatLeft=left
}}
Bismuth is used to make [[bismuth bronze]], but no tools.
