Editing v0.31 Talk:Melt item

Using version 0.31.25, I only melted 2 copper battle axes, and I got a copper bar. So the ones I used must have yielded more than 4/10 of a bar each. They were starting equipment, if that makes any difference. -- JasonMel

== In the "buying to melt" table, seems to me the base values are off. According to the table, scimitar and mace are both 10 base value, while what I get is 14 and 17, respectively. Also, if an iron anvil does indeed give a whole bar back, then they're not relative value of 100, they're an absolute steal at 10 (i.e. someone forgot that the value of an iron anvil is 10 base * 10 material (iron), not 100 base value), and as good a value as cages.

-:If you're importing anvils, you can turn a massive profit through resale, when your master blacksmith produces high-quality furniture. The only problem is with their weight; you might be better importing lots of lightweight crafts and improving them for resale instead.
-== Why metalsmith must melt buckets? ==
-Why "recommended item" for metalsmith training is a bucket with 50% metal return, when blacksmith can forge various furniture from 1 bar of any metal, he can forge cabinets for example, and then get back 1 bar for melting? I know this is a bug and furniture must consume 3 metal bars, but today we have 1 bar in and 1 bar out, 100% return.
-:I just noticed the same thing, will edit appropriately. --[[Special:Contributions/24.19.208.103|24.19.208.103]] 20:47, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
-==Everything is Wrong==
-It turns out '''everything on this page was wrong''' - item melting yields have '''never''' followed MATERIAL_SIZE, at least until version 0.34.11. Every single melting yield claimed on this page seems to date back to an article related to version 0.23.130.23a which was totally incorrect. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 04:47, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
