The Average Recipe For Netherite Has Been Developed Relatively Recently Through Multiple Trials (and

The average recipe for netherite has been developed relatively recently through multiple trials (and errors), as well as analysis of samples and texts found in the depths of the bastions, which allowed researchers to determine the composition of the netherite alloy.

Netherite has an extremely high melting point due to the oxide film that forms when metal compound comes in contact with oxygen. Working with netherite requires preparation, which includes dissolving the oxide film, which significantly reduces the melting point and allows for further processing (forging and coating of diamond goods).

A distinctive feature of a high quality alloy is the unity of color. Works of novice blacksmiths often have visible inclusions of gold in the form of small specks or, in the worst case, larger marks of various shapes (although some craftsmen deliberately achieve this effect).

The malleability of netherite is significantly less than that of iron, and therefore does not allow the creation of exceptionally elegant elements. Therefore, a diamond base is most often used to create intricate details on armor (however, this process often requires the participation of a jeweler). However, a significant advantage of armor decorated with netherite is the greater strength of the ornaments compared to the ones made of iron.

After perfecting the initial ratio of alloy components, some craftsmen began to vary their recipes, wanting to achieve characteristic variations in the color and texture of the armor and weapons.
