"Here vendor, take this rock made of solid gold I found!"
"Okay! I'll give you 5 silver coins for it!"
"What?"
One of the few metals that is worth more as ore than bars. Ore can be smelted to get to 180 skill. At 175, the miner can mine mithril nodes. Smelting gold begins at 155.
Each bas metal has a rare spawn to it (or at least most do)
Silver is a rare spawn of Tin
Gold is a rare spawn of Iron
Truesilver is a rare spawn of either mithril or thorium (can't remember which).This basically means that they are going to be harder to come by than their normal counterparts.
