Also based on my reading of history, people often undevalued having ingots and metals. For example the first group of settlers to greenland spent most of their money on fancy cathedrals instead of iron for tools, and when they ran out of iron for tools, they got wiped out. Only so much you can do with an antler bone. And inuit were much better adapted to getting by with bones alone.
Smelting iron and other ores is extremely energy intensive. But smithing ingots is much less so. #mram
