How to Craft Bronze Ingots and Start the Bronze Tier

Bronze is the entry point for most of the mod's weapons and armor. Everything from a Bronze Short Sword to a Bronze Pavise traces back to Bronze Ingot.

Getting Bronze Ingots

Bronze Ingot is produced through the mod's processing recipes. Gather your base metals first, then run them through the appropriate crafting or blasting step to yield Bronze Ingot. Once you have a stack, you have the raw material for the entire bronze equipment line.

What to Build First

Spend your first ingots on a weapon and a shield before armor. Good early picks:

• Bronze Short Sword — fast, cheap, reliable.
• Bronze Bastard Sword — more reach and damage than the short sword.
• Bronze Round Shield or Bronze Buckler — cheap defense while you mine.

For armor, Chainmail Armor, Chainmail Helm, and Chainmail Leggings fill gaps while you accumulate more bronze. Save heavier bronze pieces like Bronze Heavy Mace or Bronze Zweihander until you have surplus ingots.

Scaling Up

Once bronze flows steadily, branch into the wider bronze catalog: Bronze Claymore, Bronze Halberd variants, Bronze Lance, and the full shield family (Bronze Kite Shield, Bronze Heater Shield, Bronze Targe, Bronze Pavise). Each uses the same Bronze Ingot base, so a single smelting pipeline feeds your whole kit.
