What metals can be extracted from what items?
I'm currently playing through Mount And Blade 2: Bannerlord, which has an interesting smithing system. whenever I visit a new settlement there is a trader who'll sell items and at times it's worth buying weapons with the intention of smelting these to materials.
I've been looking about but I'm unable to find a list of weapons/items and what exactly they smelt into. All items smelt into a set amount of materials, but is anyone able to tell me what all items will smelt into?
The list of items is very large, so I won't go into detail for it.
However, you can look at the weapon "tier" as a guideline for their most valuable result from smelting. It's not a fixed rule, but if your aim is to get the highest tier materials, you don't even need to waste your time with tier 4 or below items, probably not even with tier 5.
For Axes and spears, there will always be some hardwood component as well.
Tier 1: Crude Iron
Tier 2: Wrought Iron
Tier 3: Iron
Tier 4: Steel
Tier 5: Fine Steel
Tier 6: Thamaskene Steel
