Anlora-avtoma |
|||
:Rare and bluish-white in color. May be [[Elothean]] in origin. Reputedly resistant to magic. It is also part of the process to creating mistglass (re: Auctioneer Cesiro during the [[Hollow Eve Festival 399|399 Hollow Eve Festival]] Auction).<br> |
|||
Audrualm |
|||
A bluish-grey metal, so far only seen sold by [[Uwresari's Exotic Wonders]]. |
|||
:This is a bluish-grey metal that has a rather unremarkable look but an ability to give edges an uncanny razor-sharp edge or point, though it's typically too rare for larger weapons. Use in jewelry is considered an ostensious waste because it has an unremarkable look. |

==Damite== |
||
:In its raw form, this is black, sort of like granite, only not as pretty, and very difficult to work with. In large quantities, it's even harder to work with. It isn't at all suited to jewelry use, but makes for nice weapons and maybe even armor, or so the rumor goes. |

:This blackish metal is ideal for weapons and armor, and hardens to almost a stone-like consistency when worked into weapons or armor. Sometimes sold as 'dark steel' to minimize association with Dirge, its true name is beginning to gain popularity again. |

:This is a gorgeous metal -- sort of a glossy, near-translucent blue-black. If a smith is god-like in his abilities, it will go white in the forging process, at which point it can be colored with crushed gems. It is found in veins of lava, in extremely tiny quantities. |

===Gold, blue=== |

:Blue gold is an alloy of gold and indium. It is not actually blue in color but rather a silvery white, more closely resembles platinum. Only available from a Prydaen merchant who sold blue gold items. Also seen on other Prydaen themed items. |
|||
===Gold, red=== |
|||
:Sometimes called "rose gold" or pink gold, red gold is a gold-copper alloy. Like many other colored gold alloys, it is not true red in color, but rather has the copper red metallic appearance with the luster of gold metal. |
|||
===Gold, black=== |
|||
:Unlike red and blue gold which are still gold with a colored hue - black gold has a dark black surface color with a metallic luster. This look is achieved traditionally by electroplating the surface of the metal to achieve the glossy black look. |
|||
:This material is rare and must be provided for alterations. Generally it must retain the original shape in an alteration cannot be melted down or re-worked without losing its color. i.e.: a black gold ring must stay a ring |

Moen Takibena
- A rare metal found primarily in Albaria, it is pale green and has adverse effects on Oculars when it comes into contact with them. It tends to be used as a decorative device, forming symbols on weapons used to fight the Ocular as well as on religious paraphernalia. It's importance in Kaldaran society has drastically decreased since the migration.
- First seen at Hollow Eve Festival 403, its alteration status is unknown.
Moonsilver
- A mildly magical metal imbued with the light of one of the three moons.
- So far only seen at Stolen from the Moons.
Nickel
- For properties on this metal for crafting go here
Niello
- A brittle black metallic alloy of sulfur, copper, silver and lead, niello is extremely soft and pours easily when melted. This metal is typically used to add embellishments, or to make embossments and engravings stand out.
This material must be provided for alterations.
- For properties on this metal for crafting go here
Niniam
- This is a sort of sedimentary substance, sort of like the limestone you'd find in the cracks of old igneous rocks. Its crystal form is a white powder, while its metal form is a dark blue-grey. It takes a LOT of heat to work with, and isn't in the least suitable for jewelry.
- Availability: Very rare. This material must be provided for alterations.
- Forging Properties: hard, somewhat brittle, very light.

Oravir
- A silvery-white metal used by the Vykathi, in the form of Oravir slivers.
- For properties on this metal for crafting go here
Orichalcum
- A red-gold, so far only seen sold by Uwresari's Exotic Wonders.
- A reddish gold metal that's about the softness of platinum. Typically used in jewelry. It's too soft to hold an edge, but is often used to make filigree for weapons as it holds enchantments well.

Silversteel
Steel
- Steel can be made in 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 iron to coal mixtures. The higher the coal content, the harder the steel but the lower the durability.

Tin
- For properties on this metal for crafting go here
Tyrium
- Like steel, tyrium is predominantly an iron alloy, though what it is alloyed with is a secret that has eluded metallurgists. Should any have discovered the secrets of its manufacture, they have kept the secret well. Fortunately, when found, whatever the origins, tyrium is only slightly harder to work with than the best steel. Aside from the allure of its mysterious nature tyrium is sought out for its deep purple coloration, incredible ductility and low malleability. Items forged from tyrium are denser than steel and command exorbitant prices (hundreds, if not thousands, of platinum for a single piece is not unreasonable).
- Required to be provided for alterations.
