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 399 Hollow Eve Festival Auction).

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.

Availability: Very rare. :This material must be provided for alterations.

Forging Properties: Very hard, very flexible, and extremely heavy

Darkstone

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.

Glaes

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.

Availability: Extremely rare. This material must be provided for alterations.

Forging Properties: extremely hard, extremely flexible, extremely heavy

Gold

For properties on this metal for crafting go here

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

Haralun

Meaning 'black rock' in gamgweth, this is a very dense metal, dark metal typically used in heavier blunt weapons where weight is an asset.

Kertig

These are tiny blobs of silvery-black metal that comes from meteors and comets, so keep your eyes on the skies! Or, since it weighs a lot more than lead, maybe keep digging deeper, because when this hits the ground, it usually ends up several feet below it. Beautiful enough to be used for (weighty) jewelry, this extremely rare metal is much more commonly used by forgers.

Availability: Extremely rare. This material must be provided for alterations.

Forging Properties: absurdly hard, fairly flexible, very heavy

Lead

Lumium

Looks sort of like the dull side of tin foil. Not very pretty, and not used much for jewelry purposes, because, well, it looks like cheap silver, and if you're going to have something that looks like cheap silver, you might as well just have silver, get it scuffed up, and use this in a weapon anyway!

Availability: Very rare. This material must be provided for alterations.

Forging Properties: very soft, extremely rigid, extremely light.

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.

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.

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.

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).
