Zinc

Tier: 0

Complexity: 1

Crafting Time: 2

A shiny grey metal, Zinc is often considered too soft to use by itself, instead being used more in alloys than by itself. On average lighter than iron, Zinc is often prized more for its ability to produce corrosion resistant alloys, such as bronze, than for its ability to keep its shape.
