Molds are player created containers used with the [[casting]] mechanic to craft [[Tools and Weapons|heads for tools and weapons]], lamellae (for [[armor]]), [[Metal|metal]] ingots and [[anvil]]s for [[smithing]]. Molds are multi-use containers that can be reused whenever a new copper or bronze alloy tool/weapon head is required. | Molds are player created containers used with the [[casting]] mechanic to craft [[Tools and Weapons|heads for tools and weapons]], lamellae (for [[armor]]), [[Metal|metal]] ingots and [[anvil]]s for [[smithing]].

'''See the [[casting]] page for more information about preparing metal for use in molds.''' Molten metal from a [[Crucible|crucible]] can be poured into the mold (right mouse button) until the mold is filled. Molten metal will not be added to a full mold. '''Most tool, weapon and ingot molds require 100 units of metal''' to fill, though the anvil requires 900 units.

Molds are reusable and after item completion, molds can be picked up with an empty hand (right mouse button) Molds can be carried in player inventory or stored in [[Containers#Stationary containers|stationary containers]]. Anvil and tool/weapon head molds do not stack, but since molds are not destroyed when the item is completed, it is not necessary to create a new mold to cast a new tool. Ingot molds stack to 8. | Molds are reusable and after item completion, molds can be picked up with an empty hand (right mouse button) Molds can be carried in player inventory or stored in [[Containers#Stationary containers|stationary containers]].
