According to the Stone restrictions, Galena is:

  • Ore of silver (50%)
  • Ore of lead.

Not sure exactly what the 50% means. --Peristarkawan 00:48, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

I haven't been getting anywhere near 50/50 silver/lead with my galena - i've smelted around 50 units of ore and lead bars are significantly more commonly produced--Alc 00:52, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

Well, my guess is that it has half as much chance of producing silver as of producing lead, so that you average 33% silver and 67% lead. --Peristarkawan 00:59, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

Smelting is currently bugged (doesn't produce enough bars), so we may have to wait until the next patch to see how galena is supposed to be working. Furiousfish 16:57, 31 October 2007 (EDT)


I smelted some galena ore, and I noticed that it always produced lead, and only sometimes did it also produce silver. Which most likely means that galena produces lead 100% of the time, and has a 50% chance of producing silver as well. --Trorbes 20:06, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

Well, it'd make sense, considering Galena is really only lead. However wikipedia says that there's often silver in Galena deposits. So alway lead and sometimes silver makes pretty good sense. --MonsterKingRen 23:19, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
That's what I assumed when I first saw it, heh.--Draco18s 23:30, 1 November 2007 (EDT)


This sentence is in the current version - "Calculate in also that lead is one of the least valuable and versatile metals." This sentence doesn't make sense - the start of it. Can the original author please rephrase it or remove it. Yvain 08:58, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

Don't worry so much about the original author. Feel free to edit (: VengefulDonut 09:41, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
Yeh I should have just removed it and explained why. Yvain 01:47, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

so whats the point of silver?

whats the point of silver if brass is almost as valuble and easier to smelt, while you only get 1 silver bar every other time? unsigned comment by err

Let me answer with a counter question, What is the piont of Gold? Hoborobo 16:27, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
Silver is good for training weapons. VengefulDonut 02:01, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
What is the point of gold? Without it how could you sing the Diskworld dwarven folk song which goes:
Gold, gold, gold, gold,
Gold, gold, gold, gold,
Gold, gold, gold, gold,
Gold, gold, gold, gold,
Gold, gold, gold, gold,
Gold, gold, gold, gold,
Gold, gold, gold, gold....
