'''Silver''' [[bar]]s are created from [[native silver]] and [[Horn silver]].  There is also a 50% chance of getting silver bars from [[Galena]], and a 20% chance from [[Tetrahedrite]].  Silver bars are used to create valuable goods and as a component for making [[electrum]]. 

Silver bars can also be used to mint [[coin]]s at a [[metalsmith's forge]]. Minted silver coins can be used in the [[economy]] system, as well as for trading.  However, [[trading]] them with [[caravan]]s is not a good idea as they have the same [[item value|base value]] as [[furniture]] and no [[quality]] levels, making them a poor-value trade good.

[[Weapon]]s can also be made from silver, but all other [[metal]]s that can be used for weapons deal more damage.  The damage dealt by a silver weapon is the same as [[wood]]en ones: 50%.  While this makes them a poor choice for outfitting your armies, it does make them a safe choice for [[sparring]].  Silver weapons have one benefit over wood: While you have to <s>put up</s> trade with <s>filthy treehugging sandal-hippies</s> [[elves]] to acquire wooden weapons, you can make silver ones yourself. Also, the <s>hippies</s> elves won't sell you proper weapons like [[hammer]]s and [[axe]]s, but only what amounts to wooden poles.
