About
A  Silver Bar is received when successfully smelting  Silver Ore in an  Ore Smelter. A Silver Bar can be stored in a  Stockbin. CAUTION: A Silver Bar counts as a  Bar of Any Metal in recipes, when crafting make sure the correct item is selected.
Minting Coins
With the Silversmithing skill learned, a Silver Bar can be Minted into 250x  Silver Pieces using the  Silver Coins recipe. As these Coins are pure Silver, this is not a Crime. However, with the Debasement skill learned, mixing a Silver Bar with a Bar of Any Metal using the  Debased Silver Coins recipe, to make 500x Silver Pieces. As these coins are not pure Silver this IS a Crime and will leave a  Forgery Scent.
Smelting
The amount Ore Metal Bars produced in your Ore Smelter is based partially on chance but mostly influenced by the Ore/Lime ratio and your Alloying Artifact Bonus. Currently, the best Ore/Lime ratio is 13x  Lime and 12x  Any Ore of one type. To smelt place your Lime and Ore in a lit Ore Smelter. After about 40 minutes 1x, or rarely 2x, of your Ores will be replaced with a corresponding Ore Metal Bar and the rest of your Ore will have become  Dross. Each time a Dross is produced there is a chance for it become  A Face in the Dross instead. Using a  Little Limestone in place of one of your Limes may also increase the number of Metal Bars that are created.
