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.
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 at least one of your Ores will be replaced with a corresponding Ore Metal Bar and the rest of your Ore will have become  Dross. The number of metal bars depends on the alloying artifact bonus, the smelter’s previous run, and chance.
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.
