Metals

Metals and ore are a big part of Gielinor, whether it be cutlery, armor, jewelry or anything else, it plays a large part in creating most things.

Scale of Metals
The scale of metals from worst to best is as follows:

Bronze

Iron

Steel

Mithril

Adamant

Runite

HOWEVER the scaling isn't linear, as bronze and iron is usually affordable by the average man, steel a little less such, but still very much affordable, but where things get sketchy is when it comes to Mithril, Adamant and Runite.

Bronze
Bronze is an alloy, primarily consisting of copper with added tin, it is hard and tough, and especially if cold-drawn or cold-rolled.
