Tools and Weapons
Tools and weapons don't come easy in Vintage Story and they shouldn't! In real life, these things aren't easy to make so it's very challenging yet rewarding to obtain these in Vintage Story.
Most tools and weapons are created on an anvil. In order to create an anvil you need 7 ingots of any type. To obtain ingots you must smelt native metals found on the surface.
Smelting
To smelt metal into ingots you need to create ingot molds and a crucible. Crucibles are containers that hold molten metals and ingot molds hold those metals in their liquid form to allow them to cool into the shape of an ingot. Once you have crafted both a crucible and at least one ingot mold you must create a fire pit in order to heat them to a burned state. Once you have done this you can use them to create your ingots.
