Wouldn't this be a better choice than straight gold, now that fuel is a concern due to nonguaranteed magma? One piece of charcoal or coke would be enough for four bars of rose gold, as opposed to one of gold... and the value of rose gold is the same as three gold bars and one copper. Interesting thing to debate.Kefkakrazy 04:51, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Many of the new alloys, including rose gold, require you to first smelt ore into bars and then combine the bars. You're actually using up 5 pieces of fuel to make rose gold, since each piece of metal has to be smelted individually first before alloying. All of the alloys from the previous version can still be done straight from raw ore, though. Rpb 12:35, 6 November 2007 (EST)
Ow. Bugger. I didn't notice that. Hmm. Well, still, the variety is nice.

I think that rose gold is more of a pink than a purple. Black bronze is purple. --Penguinofhonor 15:29, 24 February 2008 (EST)

That's probably the monitor you're viewing it with - before I figured out how to optimize my monitor's colors, it displayed them rather poorly. --Savok 22:10, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
I think he means *actual* rose gold, in which case it's true. Rose gold is simply gold alloyed with copper, and copper is what's commonly used for that in jewelry. Rose gold is just high-copper gold, some of it approaching a more orange/red/pink tint. Definitely not purple, though. G-Flex 12:55, 9 July 2008 (EDT)
No, I think he did mean in-game. It's entirely subjective of course (I'd say it was a girly purple), like the whole "Is turquoise/cyan a green or a blue?". The correct answer to that is of course "yes" (cyan, less so turquoise, is an equal mix of green and blue). In the case of in-game rose gold, the correct answer is "Magenta". Black bronze is indeed purple. And very nice it is too. --Raumkraut 16:48, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Metalsmith in a mood is screaming for Rose Gold. Hope the next caravan has some.
