Nickel Silver can not be smelted from an ore. It must be smelted at a Smelter using the following Recipe:

• 2x Nickel + Copper + zinc

Nickel Silver has a base value of 3. It is more valuable than its components, but its main purpose is to dilute nickel to make magma-proof items. Brass can be made from the copper and zinc instead, which has value 7, averaging much more value.
