Bismuth bronze has the same armor and weapon modifiers as regular bronze (75% as effective as iron). Bismuth bronze can be used to make all furniture and other objects. Bismuth bronze is 20% more valuable than bronze and is colored differently. Bismuth bronze is three times more valuable (6) than its component parts.

Bismuth bronze is made with the following recipe:

• 1 bismuth bar + 1 tin bar + 2 copper bars (not ores)

Because of these proportions, bismuth bronze is produced in lots of 4 bars at a time. While the ores must be smelted normally, only 1 additional fuel is needed to produce those 4 bars of bismuth bronze from the 4 bars noted above. (Or in a magma smelter, none at all.)
