However, instead of using just a single metal, place enough ore pieces inside the vessel in the correct ratio to form a known alloy mix."

Each type of bronze can be used to make tools, $(l:mechanics/armor)Armor$(), and other metal items. They are slightly different so resulting tools will have different durability, efficiency, and attack damage."
