-The cost of a [[weapon]] or piece of [[armor]] in metal [[bar]]s can be calculated by using material size/3 and rounding down, with no item costing less than one metal bar. The exception to this is some types of finished goods, which are created in different multiples from a single metal bar, depending on the skill of the [[Metal crafter]]. The table on the [[Melt item]] page lists the cost of common items and their yields when melted.
