Bronze can also be used to make [[furniture]] and ''other objects'' at a [[metalsmith's forge]]. It has a [[value]] of 5 and uses the same ingredients as [[fine pewter]] (which also has a value of 5). If you find yourself short of [[tin]], use this metal to make your objects of art instead of using [[fine pewter]]. If you are using ores to smelt Bronze, you can produce 8 bars of weapon-grade metal with one unit of [[fuel]], making it an extremely useful material. | ||
Alternatively, copper and tin can also be alloyed with [[bismuth]], in order to make the alloy [[bismuth bronze]]. While this doesn't improve the properties of the materials, it does result in a modest increase in [[value]] and cuts the cost in tin in half. | Alternatively, copper and tin can also be alloyed with [[bismuth]], in order to make the alloy [[bismuth bronze]].

| − | As mentioned before, bronze has material properties that are very similar to those of [[iron]], and is a significant improvement over [[copper]], except for blunt weapons where its superior edge properties are virtually irrelevant.
