Metal/ru: Difference between revisions

 

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 ==

=== 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 ===

Gold is found only as '''native gold in quartz''' chunks which give '''native gold''' nuggets.

=== Silver ===

Silver is found as '''native silver in quartz''', and '''native silver in galena''' chunks which both give '''native silver''' nuggets.

=== Tin ===

Tin is found only as '''cassiterite''' chunks and nuggets.

Tin is only used as a component of the alloy Tin Bronze.

=== Zinc ===

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 ===

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 ===

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 ===

Iron is found as '''limonite''', '''hematite''', and '''magnetite''' chunks and nuggets or in [[meteorite|Iron meteorite]].

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 meteorite piece|Iron meteorite piece]] unlike nuggets turns directly into iron ingots after processed with the bloomery but mining meteoritic iron require a tier 4 pickaxe, rarely pieces can be found directly on ground.

== Alloys ==

[[Casting#Alloy_Ratios|Alloys]] are created using the casting mechanic. For more information on alloys, see the [[casting]] page.
