Metal Crafting

Metal Crafting involves using Ores and Firewood to create Metal Bars and Metal Rolls that can be sold for Spores.

Step 1: Ores and Firewood

Basic Ores

Basic Ores are dropped by all Mimics, but some have a higher chance to drop a particular Ores. Mimics with high drop rates for each are listed below.

Gold Route: Yellow squares indicate mimics that drop Gold.

Copper Route: Blue dot is Mimipede, yellow dot is Stonehog, and green dot is Snapshell.

Zinc Route: The red line is the suggested route

Ores	Picture	Mimics
Copper		Snapshell, Stiltskin, Mimipede, Stonehog
Gold		Bulkskin, Swampfoot, Stinger, Pale Steed
Iron		Rockbug, Pustosser, Quilltoad, Stinkstrider
Silver		Pidgebomber, Stinkbird, Wallglider, Wallworm
Tin		Rockrat, Hackworm, Mimitaur, Jellywog
Zinc		Boulder Bison, Crawback, Hexaboar, Matterhorn

Special Ores

These are special Ores. Unlike basic Ores, they have different characteristics.

Coal

Each red square marks a Firegrub or Hellhopper. The yellow line is the suggested trail. A picture of the coal is attached.

Coal is only dropped by the following mimics. Coal is only used to make Steel, which requires Iron.

• Bruinscale
• Cinder Steed (Nidarian Guard only)
• Coaltosser (Nidarian Guard only)
• Crescentwolf
• Firegrub
• Hellhopper

Empty Bottles

While not technically Ores, Empty Bottles are still used in Metal Crafting. Bottles are used to make Glass Bars, the only bar that can not be rolled at the Rolling Mill. All Mimics drop Empty Bottles, but the following Mimics have a higher chance.

• Grabrat
• Hazebug
• Pugcrawler
• Snakehopper

Etherite Geodes

Geodes are only dropped by Fungi. The only Fungi in Adventure Gameplay are Fungus Heads, Fungus Cores, Door Fungi, Bulbwalls, Plugbulbs, and Sporeshells. Only Fungus Heads and Fungus Cores drop Geodes in Adventure Gameplay, and both drop only one Geode. All other Fungi appear only in Co-op. The number of Geodes dropped is also listed.

Name	Geodes
Bulbwall	6 Geodes
Door Fungus	5 Geodes
Fungeye	25 Geodes
Fungus Core	5 Geodes
Fungus Head	5 Geodes
Fungus Tentacle	10 Geodes
Haze Turret	5 Geodes
Plugbulb	10 Geodes
Snarewhip	11 Geodes
Spinnaker	10 Geodes
Sporejaw	11 Geodes
Sporeshell	11 Geodes
Stepper Mushroom	5 Geodes
Thornblossom	10 Geodes

Firewood

Red line show a trail that has a total of 11 Blowgrub. Teleport back to where you start after you finish. The Blowgrub should respawn again.

Three pieces of Firewood are required for every bar made at the Blast Furnace. Alloy bars (like Bronze) require extra Firewood.

• Blowgrub
• Cactigrub
• Hivehat
• Hookbill

Step 2: The Blast Furnace

The Red dot indicates the location of the Blast Furnace.

The Blast Furnace is a machine in the game that allows you to create Metal Bars out of materials. It is the second step in Metal Crafting. The Furnace is located in Hatchwood Wilds, Charred Forest in the small room above the Charred Forest checkpoint and is first seen in the side-quest Iron Making (WY0003). The Blast Furnace can turn Basic Ores into Basic Bars, which can then be made in to Alloy Bars or rolled at the Rolling Mill. A list of Bars is shown below.

The Blast Furnace has a trophy for making a total of 250 Metal Bars. There are also trophies for each individual metal, called Bar Trophies. They are awarded for making 50 Rolls of each metal. Note that these trophies are awarded for Rolls, not Bars, as the name would imply.

Step 3: The Rolling Mill

The Red dot indicates the location of the Rolling Mill.

The Rolling Mill is a location in Steamport City that can turn bars made from the Blast Furnace into Metal Rolls for Sidequests or can be sold for Spores to Otto von Tesla, Wystan or Lana Westwood. The exception is Glass Bars, which can be sold directly to Otto von Tesla. Only the Bar is neccessary to make a Metal Roll, no other items are required. A list of Rolls is shown below.

The Rolling Mill has a set of 6 trophies. Trophies are awarded for the total number of Rolls made at the Mill.

• Bronze: Requires creation of 60 total rolls of metals.
• Silver: Requires creation of 120 total rolls of metals, or 60 in addition to the 60 required for the Bronze.
• Gold: Not yet determined.
• Deluxe Bronze: Requires 100 in addition to those required for the Gold.
• Deluxe Silver: Requires 150 in addition to those required for the DX Bronze.
• Deluxe Gold: Requires 250 in addition to those required for the DX Silver.

Crafting for Profit

It is possible to use Metal Crafting and Rolling as a way to gain Spores. Etherillium Rolls and Glass Bars can be sold to Otto von Tesla; Gold Rolls to Lana Westwood; while all the other Metal Rolls can be sold to Wystan.

Since each crafting phase costs 3 Firewood, the amount of Firewood you have dictates how much crafting you can do. The profit per Firewood for each craftable item is as follows, with most profitable first:

• Etherillium Rolls and Gold Rolls are the most profitable, they sell for 200 Spores per 3 Firewood.
• Steel Rolls sell for 225 Spores for 6 Firewood.
• Basic Rolls made from any of the Basic Bars in the list above sell for 100 Spores per 3 Firewood.
• Brass Rolls and Bronze Rolls are the least profitable, they sell for 225 Spores per 9 Firewood.

Name	Sold to	Price
Brass Roll	Wystan	225 Spores
Bronze Roll	Wystan	225 Spores
Copper Roll	Wystan	100 Spores
Etherillium Roll	Otto	200 Spores
Glass Bar	Otto	100 Spores
Gold Roll	Lana	200 Spores
Iron Roll	Wystan	100 Spores
Silver Roll	Wystan	100 Spores
Steel Roll	Wystan	225 Spores
Tin Roll	Wystan	100 Spores
Zinc Roll	Wystan	100 Spores

Prerequisites

In order to craft metal, you must complete the Hatchwood Wilds mission line and Wystan's sidequests. Wystan's Iron Making (WY0003) sidequest will walk you through how to create Metal Bars.
In particular after completing Hatchwood Wilds, to access the Blast Furnace the player has to complete the following chain of sidequests:

• Finish the Rolling Mill (WY0001) from Wystan;
• Sewer Recycling (WY0002) from Wystan;
• Iron Making (WY0003) from Wystan;
