Enshrouded 1.0: How to Make Bronze Bars (Copper, Tin and Every Bronze Recipe)

In Enshrouded, you make Bronze Bars by smelting Copper Bars and Tin Bars first, then combining 7 Copper Bars, 3 Tin Bars and 10 Charcoal in the Smelter for 10 Bronze Bars. The Blast Furnace version makes 20 per craft and uses less copper and tin for each bar.

Quick answer: Pick up Copper Ore and Tin Ore, smelt each into bars, then craft 7 Copper Bars + 3 Tin Bars + 10 Charcoal at a Smelter to get 10 Bronze Bars.

Bronze Bars recipe

Bronze Bars are a common material at item level 18, and they stack to 250. The item text reads “A beautiful material known for its warm and bright color. Artisans around the world have turned towards it for centuries, due to its workable characteristics.” Its in-game hint is “Smelter”.

You won’t see the recipe initially. First collect Copper Ore and Tin Ore, then obtain a Smelter to make it appear. The Blast Furnace recipe becomes available by the same method after you acquire a Blast Furnace.

Station	Ingredients	Makes	Time
Smelter	7 Copper Bars, 3 Tin Bars, 10 Charcoal	10 Bronze Bars	240 s
Blast Furnace	10 Copper Bars, 4 Tin Bars, 10 Coal	20 Bronze Bars	240 s

For each bar, the Smelter consumes 0.7 Copper Bars and 0.3 Tin Bars. A Blast Furnace takes 0.5 Copper Bars plus 0.2 Tin Bars per bar; each craft produces twice as many bars and still takes 240 seconds. With a Blast Furnace and Coal, you use about 29% less copper and 33% less tin per Bronze Bar.

Copper Bars and Tin Bars: The two metals bronze needs

Both ingredient metals start as ore. The in-game hint for Copper Ore is “Revelwood”, and its text reads “A common ore needed to create Copper Bars.” The hint for Tin Ore is “Nomad Highlands Shroud”, with the text “An ore which contains traces of tin. Needed to create Tin Bars.”

Copper Bars recipe

Station	Ingredients	Makes	Time
Smelter	10 Copper Ore, 10 Charcoal	10 Copper Bars	210 s
Blast Furnace	20 Copper Ore, 20 Coal	20 Copper Bars	210 s

Copper Bars carry the text “A rare and valuable metal thanks to its thermal conductivity. It’s often used to create things that require a lot of heat.”

Tin Bars recipe

Station	Ingredients	Makes	Time
Smelter	10 Tin Ore, 10 Charcoal, 2 Wood Acid	10 Tin Bars	240 s
Blast Furnace	15 Tin Ore, 15 Coal, 4 Wood Acid	20 Tin Bars	240 s

Tin is the step that needs Wood Acid on top of fuel, so make some before you smelt. Tin Bars carry the text “A metal used to create bronze. It can be found in the Nomad Highlands.”

Charcoal, Wood Acid and the smelting stations

Charcoal and Wood Acid both come from the Charcoal Kiln, using logs and dirt. Any of Wood Logs, Hardwood or Palm Wood Logs work, and the dirt can be Springlands, Revelwood or Blackmire Dirt.

Charcoal: 12 logs + 3 dirt = 10 Charcoal
Wood Acid: 15 logs + 3 dirt = 10 Wood Acid

Wood Acid’s item text reads “This byproduct of the Charcoal Kiln has many useful properties, which can be used in medicine and alchemy.”

Both smelting stations are built at the Blacksmith.

Smelter: 50 Fired Bricks + 1 Crucible
To craft a Crucible, use 3 Lump of Clay, 3 Springlands Dirt, and 5 Sand; Fine Sand or Veilwater Basin Sand can be used instead of Sand.
Fired Bricks: made at the Kiln from 1 Lump of Clay + 1 log each
Blast Furnace: 20 Fired Bricks, 1 Bellows, 10 Lump of Clay, 10 Iron Bars, 30 Sand

The Smelter’s text is “Used by a smith to melt and alloy metals.” and the Crucible’s is “Used in a Smelter to melt ores and create alloys.” The Blast Furnace describes itself as “This advanced furnace can create incredible heat! It’s used to smelt higher quality materials.”

How to make Bronze Bars from ore to alloy

Build a Smelter at the Blacksmith. It needs 50 Fired Bricks and a Crucible.

Craft Charcoal and Wood Acid at the Charcoal Kiln. Charcoal goes into every Smelter recipe here, and Wood Acid goes into Tin Bars.

Pick up Copper Ore and Tin Ore. Picking up both ores is what makes the Bronze Bars recipe appear at the Smelter.

Smelt your Copper Ore into Copper Bars. At the Smelter, 10 Copper Ore and 10 Charcoal make 10 Copper Bars.

Smelt your Tin Ore into Tin Bars. At the Smelter, 10 Tin Ore, 10 Charcoal and 2 Wood Acid make 10 Tin Bars.

Craft Bronze Bars at the Smelter with 7 Copper Bars, 3 Tin Bars and 10 Charcoal. After 240 seconds the craft yields 10 Bronze Bars.

The bronze tools are the obvious first use. The Bronze Pickaxe costs 8 Bronze Bars and the Bronze Axe costs 4, so a single Smelter craft of 10 bars covers the pickaxe, and one more covers the axe with bars to spare.
