To get refined metals for crafting weapons, armor, and more, players adventuring through New World will have to level up their Smelting skill. The process of converting raw resources into ready-to-use products is an important middle-step in the game's crafting mechanics, so players intending to become the best metalworkers will definitely find themselves in front of Smelters quite often.

The best way to wrap one's head around what is needed to get the best gear out of one's forge is to learn about the various types of metals in the game and how to obtain them. Just keep in mind to gather lots of Charcoal and Flux as they are a very common crafting component in Smelting.
Iron Ingot
Iron Ingot Crafting Requirements
- Must use a Tier 2 Smelter to craft

Silver Ingot

Steel Ingot
Steel Ingot Crafting Requirements
- Must use a Tier 3 Smelter to craft
- Must have a Smelting skill level of 50 or higher
Steel Ingot Crafting Recipe
- 4 Iron Ingot

About Steel Ingots
This Tier 3 refined metal is the first that will require players to include Flux as well as Charcoal into the recipe. Flux can be found from looting containers while exploring or from converting other secondary refining materials into it by using a Material Converter. The Charcoal will be easy to obtain as it can be made at any Tier 2 Smelter from Green Wood (harvested from the very common Young Trees).
Gold Ingots
Gold Ingot Crafting Requirements
- Must use a Tier 3 Smelter to craft

About Gold Ingots
Gold is also a Tier 3 refined metal, and requires Flux, but will be more expensive to craft due to the nature of Gold Ore being a bit harder to find than Iron Ore.
Starmetal Ingot

- Must have a Smelting skill level of 100 or higher
Starmetal Ingot Crafting Recipe
- 4 Starmetal Ore
- 2 Steel Ingot
- 2 Charcoal
- 1 of any kind of Flux
About Starmetal Ingots
As the components get rarer and rarer, players will have to spend more time searching for resources than by a Smelter to find some Starmetal Ore if getting this Tier 4 metal is one's goal.
Platinum Ingot
Platinum Ingot Crafting Requirements
- Must use a Tier 4 Smelter to craft
- Must have a Smelting skill level of 100 or higher
Platinum Ingot Crafting Recipe
- 4 Platinum Ore
- 2 Gold Ingot
- 1 of any kind of Flux
About Platinum Ingots
This light-colored Tier 4 metal will be needed for some higher-tier crafting recipes, though, getting enough to use will take a while as aspiring metalworkers climb the 'material pyramid'.
Orichalcum Ingot
Orichalcum Ingot Crafting Requirements
- Must use a Tier 4 Smelter to craft
- Must have a Smelting skill level of 150 or higher
Orichalcum Ingot Crafting Recipe
- 4 Orichalcum Ore
- 2 Starmetal Ingot
- 2 Charcoal
- 1 of any kind of Flux
About Orichalcum Ingots
One of two Tier 5 metals, Orichalcum Ingots are near the pinnacle of Smelting, requiring players to have accumulated a lot of levels in this skill before becoming craftable. Keep in mind that players will need a bunch of Orichalcum Ingots in order to obtain the next type of refined metal, the only one classified as "legendary".
Asmodeum
Asmodeum Crafting Requirements
- Must use a Tier 4 Smelter to craft
- Must have a Smelting skill level of 200 or higher
Asmodeum Crafting Recipe
- 4 Orichalcum Ingot
- 2 Charcoal
- 1 Tolvium
- 1 Cinnabar
- 1 Obsidian Flux
About Asmodeum
Besides ruining the naming conventions of the metals, this legendary resource stands out for other reasons. It is the only kind of ingot that needs other ingots of the same tier to be crafted. Furthermore, it needs a specific kind of Flux as well as some rarer secondary refining materials. This is another area where a Material Converter would be helpful, as obtaining some of these secondary refining materials solely from exploration can severely delay one's crafting goals.
