Metal is a material extracted from ore at a smelter. It is then sometimes combined with other materials to form an alloy metal. An alloy usually improves on the properties of its components to give more uses and value. The metal bars resulting from the smelting are used to make items such as weapons, armor, and furniture at a forge. Smelting pure ores into the corresponding bars raises the base value from 3 (for stone) to 5. This value is then multiplied against the base value of the metal (except adamantine, which produces wafers instead of bars).
Alloys
Many metals can be mixed together to create alloys. In a few cases these alloys will result in an overall increase in value, or the resultant alloy will be more powerful when used to forge weapons or armour. Many alloys result in no overall increase in wealth. The main use of these alloys is to allow you to dilute any valuable metals you import, or to create items with interesting colours: for instance, rose gold is purple.
In terms of maximizing total material value, currentlyv0.28.181.39f tin should be made into fine pewter or bronze (depending on availability of copper), and zinc should be made into brass. If copper is limited, it should be used for fine pewter. Nickel and lead do not form valuable alloys:
- 2 tin, 1 copper, and 1 lead can form 4 lay pewter worth 12, or 3 trifle pewter and 1 lead worth 14.
- 2 nickel, 1 copper, and 1 zinc can form 4 nickel silver worth 12, or 2 nickel and 2 brass worth 18.
List of metals
"Reaction" indicates the recipe for an alloy metal; this does not include the fuel used in their creation.
