'''Silver''' is a mid-value [[metal]] which is useful for [[weapon]]s, [[ammunition]], [[furniture]], [[decoration]]s, and other objects. Silver may be combined with other [[metal|metals]] in a [[magma smelter]] or [[smelter]] to produce the following [[metal|alloys]]:

* [[Billon]] = Silver + [[Copper]]
* [[Electrum]] = Silver + [[Gold]]
* [[Black bronze]] = Silver + [[Gold]] + 2× [[Copper]] †
* [[Sterling silver]] = 3× Silver + [[Copper]] †

† these reactions may only be performed with bars (not ores)

Despite its name, [[nickel silver]] does not contain any silver.

==Properties==
Silver has the highest density of all the weapon-grade metals; its additional weight enhances the performance of [[Attack types#Blunt weapons|bludgeon]]ing weapons such as [[mace]]s, [[Weapon#Foreign weapons|maul]]s, and [[war hammer]]s. However, a low shear strength means silver-forged [[edge]]d weapons such as [[spear]]s or [[sword]]s are quite terrible compared to other weapons-grade metals.

In tests in the [[Object_testing_arena|Object Testing Arena]], silver [[war hammer]]s were found to be the deadliest weapon against humanoids in the size ranges of the [[DF2014:Creature#Civilized|civilized races]]. Silver has somewhat poor yield values, and is more prone to [[wear]] than most other weapon grade metals.

While silver swords were said to be the only blades capable of slaying [[Werebeast|werewolves]] in legends, and individual werebeasts in ''Dwarf Fortress'' may well be vulnerable to the metal, [[steel]] will tend to fare better.

'''Black bronze''' is a semiprecious alloy of [[copper]], [[gold]] and [[silver]]. Unlike [[bronze|regular]] or [[bismuth bronze]], black bronze cannot be used to create [[weapon]]s or [[armor]], restricting its uses to [[Blacksmith|blacksmithing]] and [[Metal crafter|metalcrafting]] purposes. Black bronze cannot be [[Smelter|smelt]]ed directly from [[ore]], but only from [[bar]]s of pure [[metal]]s. Unlike some [[alloy]]s, the [[Item value|value]] of a bar of black bronze is equal exactly to the average value of its components – creating this alloy does not increase the total value of the material (2 [[copper]] bars at 10☼ each + 1 [[silver]] bar at 50☼ + 1 [[gold]] bar at 150☼ = 220☼/4 bars = 55☼/bar of black bronze).

== In real life ==
The actual composition and process of creating Black Corinthian Bronze has been lost to history, as is typical of closely guarded trade secrets of pre-industrial society.
