Metal

Metals are mineral items found as raw ore (in most cases) by mining veins and deposits. They are often usable as ingredients for professions (usually Blacksmithing or Engineering) after being smelted into a purer bar form.

WotLK Metals

• Cobalt – A glowing blue metal native to Northrend.
• Saronite – Formed from the blood of Yogg-Saron. It is alive, for some value of the term, and has been described as breathing. When untamed, it can induce madness in the living. For this reason, it is the favored metal of the Scourge.
• Titanium
• Titansteel - Alloy made from titanium.
•  [Primordial Saronite] - Dropped in Icecrown Citadel and used as both an ingredient and currency.

Cata Metals

• Obsidium – An initially fragile metal, it is often used in jewelcrafting or hardened via folding for proper blacksmithing. Also referred to as redsteel.
• Elementium – A volatile and powerful metal native to the Elemental Plane. Once exceedingly rare in Azeroth proper, the Cataclysm infused large quantities of it into Mount Hyjal, Uldum, Twilight Highlands and Tol Barad.
• Hardened Elementium
• Pyrite – A rare material found in Uldum, Twilight Highlands and Tol Barad. It is refined into the metal known as Pyrium In its liquid form, it serves as a powerful combustible fuel source.

MoP metals

•  [Ghost Iron Ore] – A common metal found across Pandaria.
• Trillium – An alloy of white trillium and black trillium. Further refined into balanced trillium.
•  [Kyparite] – Not a true metal, this is kypari tree sap that has hardened into amber

WoD Metals

•  [Blackrock Ore] – A substance so dense that ordinary flame does not even soften it, mastered by the Blackrock Clan, it is the remains of the colossals that sacrificed themselves to stop the Evergrowth.
•  [True Iron Ore] – Possibly the uncorrupted form of Fel Iron.
•  [Truesteel Ingot] - alloy of True Iron Ore and Blackrock Ore

Legion Metals

•  [Felslate] – A remarkably heavy metal, with effects similar to Saronite. When worn by non-demons, prolonged usage will induce eerie whispers from Sargeras.
  •  [Demonsteel Bar] – A metal made by combining Felslate and Leystone. Possibly by including Leystone, the naturally heavy Felslate becomes lighter, thus Demonsteel retains the durability and strength of both materials. Prolonged use will still induce whispers form Sargeras.
•  [Infernal Brimstone] – Not much is known about the incredibly rare infernal brimstone, rather than it is mined off of infernals and according to Mama Diggs it smells like the combined odours of sulfur and rotting corpses.
•  [Leystone Ore] – Armour crafted from leystone is remarkably light but remains strong and durable while offering great mobility. However, producing armour from this metal requires a complex process.
  •  [Azure Ore] – Close in proximity to leystone and thus often overlooked, however in the hands of an expert smith and made into weaponry, it becomes nearly indestructible.
•  [Lumenstone] – A somewhat rare, enchanted metal able to negate magic, and withstand great amounts of fel. Can be used for both armour and weaponry. Though there exist enough for natives to be using it in their crafts.
•  [Empyrium] – Native to Argus, this metal requires a balanced and precise extraction as the core is its most fragile section. It has a starry quality and a mirrored surface, and is considered as very good at interweaving itself into the surrounding elements.
