Galena ore can be smelted into Lead and Silver bars at a Smelter.

'''Galena''' is an [[ore]] of both [[lead]] and [[silver]]. It is the only source of [[lead]]. It is found as [[vein]]s within a wide range of locations:  [[granite]], [[limestone]], and all [[igneous extrusive layer]]s and [[metamorphic layer]]s.
+
The type of bar which is produced is random, but seems to follow a 3/4 probability of producing Lead and 1/4 probability of producing Silver.
 
 
When galena [[ore]] is [[smelt]]ed, it will always produce one [[lead]] [[bar]].  There is also a fifty percent chance of a [[silver]] [[bar]] being produced in addition to the [[lead]].
 
 
 
Since galena is considered an [[ore]] of [[silver]], it can be used in the creation of [[billon]] and [[electrum]] just as easily as [[native silver]].  While it will not produce a [[lead]] [[bar]] during such a reaction, it can still be worthwhile to use it this way for [[electrum]] due to lead having such a low value.
 
 
 
Making [[Billon]] is the statistically best [[value]] reaction. On a site with no pure [[silver]] smelting this to get training [[weapons]] is also a valid choice.
 
 
 
"Galena" is also the name of the sixth month of the [[dwarven]] [[calendar]], covering late Summer.
 
 
 
== Smelting ==
 
Galena can be used to make several types of metal bars at a [[smelter]]:
 
* [[Lead]] bars, with a 50% chance of an additional [[silver]] bar
 
* [[Electrum]] bars - with [[native gold]]
 
* [[Billon]] bars - with [[native copper]], [[malachite]] or [[tetrahedrite]]
