Smelting bars together consumes a value 30 material and a value 10 material to produce two units of value 20, thus producing no net gain (or loss); you're taking a high-value item and a medium-value item and averaging their values. Smelting the ore directly saves you two units of {{L|fuel}} (if you don't have access to {{L|magma}}). Moreover, low-value {{L|galena}} or {{L|tetrahedrite}} ore can be substituted for {{L|native silver}} or {{L|horn silver}}, producing more value overall than would be generated from smelting the ores separately. Thus, if you have access to a silver ore, it is always favourable value-wise to produce electrum bars over gold bars, unless your legendary metalsmith has a particular fancy for gold.

This article is about an older version of DF.

Electrum Template:Ls can be made at a Template:L by a dwarf with the Template:L labor activated.

One Template:L bar and one Template:L bar, or one gold nugget and one silver Template:L (but not a mix of bars and ore), produces two electrum bars.

Smelting bars together consumes a value 30 material and a value 10 material to produce two units of value 20, thus producing no net gain (or loss); you're taking a high-value item and a medium-value item and averaging their values. Smelting the ores directly saves you two units of Template:L (if you don't have access to Template:L). Moreover, low-value Template:L or Template:L can be substituted for Template:L or Template:L, producing more value overall than would be generated from smelting the ores separately. Thus, if you have access to galena or tetrahedrite, producing electrum bars creates value.
