The more volume you have in the crucible, the faster your skill moves. The difficulty doesn't seem to be any different. |

However, mixing refined ingots with unrefined ingots/nuggets - no matter the quantity - seems to take more skill than mixing purely unrefined goods. I'm assuming any time a refined ingot is involved, it uses that as the skill check's difficulty. This most likely ends up producing a lesser-quality ingot. That also makes being able to analyze different ingots even more important, as a refined ingot looks the same as an unrefined one to the untrained eye. |

Smelting
I plan on keeping a log of my brand new blacksmith's journey here. Let me know if you would prefer that I do it under 'my notes' or 'my talk'
Around 6 or 7 mech lore, I started seeing these results while mixing lead/copper into ingots.
~ Your experience in smelting metal ore begins to show in the finished work.
~ A scant few mistakes can be seen in the smelted metal.
~ Overall the work meets your expectations.
Before this, I was messing up terribly. Refining is still a no-go as well.
Analyzing the ingots produces zero results, so I have no way of telling how good the ingot is, how pure it is, or what its volume is.
