Mining#

The process of mining starts by the acquisition of ores found in the wild. In order to mine without destroying ore, the ore must be adequately identified first. As the miner gets better, they begin to acquire more ore material when mining as well as some other materials that can be acquired from mining known as side products. The ore acquired from mining can be casting into ingots (5 material), blocks (100 material) or instead be consumed by prospecting instead. When prospecting the ore is consumed while attempting to get rare gems.

Melting of Material#

The first phase starts with taking a source ore and processing it into a melted form so it can be casted. In order to melt the material in the crucible the forge needs to be heated up to the materials particular critical point. The forge is heated up by pressing the bellows. The hotter the forge the more fuel it consumes. When the fuel depletes the forge will gradually decrease in heat until it reaches room temperature. Over time the maximum heat of the forge decreases as fuel is consumed so occasionally the miner will need to have to reshape the flame. The ore won’t be able to melt when reaching the critical temperature unless a purifying agent is introduced.

Creating Ingot or Block#

The last phase begins with the crucible being poured into a mold. Provided the required amount of melted material is available in the crucible, the raw product begins to form within the mold as it cools. Using tongs the miner will pull the hot raw ingot or block from the mold and then put it into the slack tub for quenching which allows it to rapidly cool.

Materials#

| Name | Description | |—|—| | ingot mold | an ingot mold is used to cast molten purified ore into ingots so that blacksmiths can use the ingots for producing items. the process of purifying ore is through smelting it. | | block mold | a block mold is used to cast molten purified ore into blocks so that blacksmiths can consolidate materials. a block is essentially 20 ingots in material amount. | | reducing agent | used to smelt ores into metals. it helps purify the metal by separating the pure metal from the oxides and other unwanted extracts called slag. | | mining pick | pick used to retrieve ore from a deposit. | | slag | when forging weapons, the molten cast material, either ingot or mold has a tendency to develop slag deposits if there is too much inconsistency in the material. slag degrades the quality of the item being created, giving it rough or brittle sections. slag may be compared to knots in wood. | | slack tub | tub of cool water used to extinguish heat from hot metals after they’re done being cast. | | forge | helps in heating of materials contained as ingots into molds by melting them into a liquid state. | | hearth | very similar to a forge, a hearth is a smaller version where the crucible actually sets ontop instead of within. a hearth heats up to melt the material within the crucible. | | tuyere | item used to breathe air into a hearth or forge to increase the heat. | | tongs | tongs are metallic tools that bend at the top apex, allowing the tips to clamp and surface with the continued force of squeezing the handles together. tongs are used to hold very hot items, predominately those that need to be transported to the quench tank to cool. |

Skills#

| Name | Description | |—|—| | mine ore | mine ore from a deposit using a mining pick. | | identify ore | identifies the type of a specified ore. | | prospect ore | prospects ore and retrieves valuable minerals and gems. | | smelt ore | uses a reducing agent to smelt the ore into a melted form producing slag as a byproduct, forge or hearth, reducing agent and ore in the crucible. | | fuel fire | issues coal into a hearth or forge. | | press bellows | increases the heat of the hearth or forge by forcing air into it (forge) or upon it (hearth) through a tuyere. | | reshape flame | increases the maximum heat potential by assembling a new layer of damp coal around the edge of the earth or forge. | | cast ingot | pour pure melted metal (req 5) from a crucible into an ingot mold. | | cast block | pour pure melted metal (req 100) from a crucible into an block mold. | | release mold | after the melted metal cools into a solid, releasing a mold clears the hot raw product from the mold making it ready for quenching. | | quench | done immediately after releasing a mold quenching dumps the hot raw product into a slack tub so it can be swagged. |
