Ore Types

The following is a list of metals which can currently be found in the world of Arad via Mining.

Metal Types

Naturally Found Ores

Bloodsand

• A rare metallic sandstone found in the deserts of Nuum, this stone can be smelted to create Bloodglass. Bloodglass is valued for the dangerous weapons it can create, it is however not as durable as other alloys.

Cobalt

• A metal common to the Lapis nation known for its silver-blue tinge. Not commonly found near Shadgard, this metal is typically imported.

Copper

• A common metal, found in high abundance within the mines of Shadgard and the surrounding areas. Copper is a sturdy metal and works well to be crafted into weapons, armor and tools.

Electrum

• A precious metal, rarely found in mines in the wild. Electrum is used primarily as a decorative metal on hilts, hafts or in jewelry. Only very skilled miners are able to recognize and extract veins of electrum, though it can also be smelted from equal portions of silver and gold.

Iron

• A common metal with a high value to those who oppose the Nether. Iron is known for its natural warding properties which make it painful and even impossible for Nether Tainted to handle.

Gold

• A precious metal, rarely found in mines in the wild. Gold is used primarily used in trading and as a decorative metal on hilts, hafts or in jewelry.

Lead

• A soft metal used primarily as flintlock shot and counter weighting weapons. Lead is too soft to be viable as a weapon blade or hilt due to the stress placed on such items in combat.

Silver

• A precious metal, rarely found in mines in the wild. Silver is used primarily used as a decorative metal on hilts, hafts or in jewelry.

Tin

• A common metal, tin is used primarily in alloys such as pewter and bronze, though can also be used in hilts and hafts.

Alloys

• Brass
• Bronze
• Electrum
• Pewter
• Steel

Sunsteel

• A rare alloy of the Ivial nation. It is as dangerous as iron to nethrim, yet as strong as steel.

These alloys cannot be found naturally(with the exception of Electrum), but can be created via smelting.

The formulas for these alloys can be found in game, typically posted in the workyard.

Rare Metals

• Celestium
• Nethrium

(These rare metals cannot currently be found via mining are are typically released only occasionally or during storyline events or other unique instances.)
