These ten materials extend the existing ore and ingot system. The listed threshold is used for the material’s harvesting and smelting requirements and its additional base crafting-skill gate. The recipe’s own skills and ingredients still apply.

Read the bonuses correctly#
Resistance entries are points. Durability and lower-requirement entries are percentages; Luck is points. Elemental weapon damage changes the damage mix rather than adding that percentage on top of total damage. These are material modifiers, not the final complete stats of every crafted item.
The weight is part of a vein-selection table. It is not the chance of finding that metal on every swing. Expanded veins also have an ordinary-resource fallback; see the harvesting guide.
