[edit] Smelting
So, to get bronze from tin you have to get copper? Or do you just have to re-smelt the tin? I only have a vein of tin ore in my mountain, but those kobold thieves supply me with a nice amount of usless large copper daggers. --Penguinofhonor 12:02, 24 November 2007 (EST)
- Well, you don't really "get bronze from tin". Bronze is an alloy of tin and copper. You can smelt it directly from tin bars and copper bars, and you likely can smelt it from tin ore and copper ore directly. G-Flex 03:23, 8 July 2008 (EDT)
- To smelt something you have to start with either all ore or all bars. Melt the large copper daggers and you will eventually end up with some copper bars (I don't know the number of large copper daggers you need to melt to get a copper bar).
- The useless large copper daggers are also good for trading and weapon traps. GarrieIrons 07:07, 8 July 2008 (EDT)
