Dwarven Metal Ingot

"No other race has replicated whatever process was used to create dwarven metal. Although it can be easily mistaken for bronze - and in fact many forgers of dwarven materials use bronze to create their fake replicas - it is most definitely a distinct type of metal of its own."

- Calcelmo, Dwarves, v1 s are used to craft and improve various weapons and armor via smithing in.

Dwarven Metal Ingots were the metal of choice for the Dwemer. The method of producing these ingots was known only to them and hence was one of many secrets lost with them. Due to the only source of this metal being the Dwarven ruins, the metal has come to be known as "Dwarven metal", named after its creators. This metal neither dulls nor rusts.

Locations

 * General stores and blacksmiths usually have dwarven metal ingots after level 6.
 * Inside Mzulft and other dwemer ruins in the form of ore substitutes as well as ingots.
 * An unmapped dwemer storage building between Stony Creek Cave and Mzulft.
 * Ten or more can be found in Avanchnzel.
 * Many dwarven items are in the Dwemer Museum in Markarth. At least 120 ingots can smelted from a thorough looting of the museum; two caveats: all the items must be stolen and several guards patrol the museum.
 * They can be looted from enemies.

Smelting
The following table shows the ore substitutes that can be smelted to produce dwarven metal ingots.

Trivia

 * The Bent dwemer scrap metal, Large dwemer plate metal and Small dwemer plate metal are the most effective pieces to use, since they actually produce more weight in ingots than the raw material, at a 3:2 ratio.
 * Dwemer scrap metal can be mistaken for an ore substitute.
 * Although the ingot looks like a deep and dark orange, the weapons and armor crafted are a light yellow-gold color. This may be because of the other ingots that are used to smith these types of weapons and armor.
 * As of the patch making smithing experience relevant to cost, training from 30 to 100 smithing on dwarven bows is often used since dwemer ruins can yield as many as 300 ingots in one visit. All that needs to be purchased is the iron or iron ore which costs very little. Nothing has to be purchased at all if dwarven armour and weapons already on hand are improved, effectively reducing the cost of raising smithing to nothing, assuming there are enough dwarven armour/weapons available to improve.
 * The metal may be an alloy of all known metals in the game smelted together, as gold and silver ore among others are found on defeated animunculi and falmer in Dwemer ruins.
