'''Silver''' can be found anywhere in the fortress in the form of [[galena]] ore, which can be refined into silver [[bar]]s at a [[smelter]]. Silver can be fashioned into metal [[craft]]s, [[coin]]s, and [[furniture]], as well as [[bolt]]s and [[weapon]]s (except for [[pick]]s and [[crossbow]]s). Weapons and ammo made from silver do less damage than those made of copper, and have no special properties. Because of their low damage, silver weapons can be used to reduce injuries during [[sparring]], but getting soldiers to exchange their silver weapons for better ones later on can be a pain. Silver weapons can be useful [[trade]] goods, as caravans often strike agreements to pay a premium on weapons. Silver cannot be used to make [[armor]].

Items made from silver are more valuable than [[copper]], and less valuable than those fashioned from [[gold]]. Silver can also be combined with gold to form an alloy known as [[electrum]] once the [[dungeon master]] [[noble]] has arrived.
