Metal Properties
A basic description of what each metal type does when used to craft different items.
- Steel: Steel is the most basic metal and used in all kinds of crafting.
- Silver: Silver is not able to be used for crafting armor but when made into a weapon it can bypass certain type-resistance of enemies.
- Gold: Gold is used in crafting but only as a secondary material, it cannot be used to make weapons or armor. It is popular for use in jewelry.
- Runesteel: Runesteel is used primarily in crafting rune picks for runeing, however it can also be used to make weapons and armor. Weapons and armor made from this material gain aditional damage-reduction bypassing capabilities.
- Starmetal: Starmetal cannot be used to make armor. When used to make jewelry, it provides a 1% per quality-level plus an additional 1% for Very Fine resistence to Negative damage When used to make weapons, it makes the weapon heavier than usual, as well as stronger, Starmetal weapons gain 10% bonus to durability and deal an additional 1 point of damage for each quality level plus 3 extra for being Very Fine.
- Dragonite: Dragonite is found only in deep caverns that were once a part of dragon eeries. It has absorbed dragon magic for many eons, until the very structure of the metal has changed. Dragonite glows with magical power. Weapons made from dragonite bypass all damage-reduction on Daemons and Fiends. Dragonite Armor provides 1% per quality-level plus an additional 1% for being Very Fine of resistance to Greater Path magic.

10 Pieces make 1 Bundle, 5 Bundles make 1 Bale.
Leather
- Cowhide
- Pigleather
- Enchanted Leather
- Green Leather
- Runeleather
- Mystical Leather

8 Chips produce 1 Strip, 5 Strips produce 1 Stack.
Imbued
Imbued materials are those imbued with a specific energy-type. Equipping an armor or piece of jewelry with the imbued-property adds +1-per-quality-level to your resistance to that damage-type. A weapon deals 1 additional damage point per quality level plus an extra 1d6 for being Very Fine.
Imbued Properties are:

- Water Imbued
A skilled smith can make any base-item imbued. In order to Imbue an item, they must mix it with an alchemical agent. Just as in all things, the agent has a quality to it that will effect the final quality of the finished product. The imbueing process takes place while
