Stone and copper tools will only get you so far inSengoku Dynasty.If you want to equip your villagers with quality gear, and your soldiers with proper armaments, you’re going to need to learn how to smelt bronze. Luckily, the process is fairly simple - if a bit resource-intensive.
Since bronze takes a lot of time and effort to make early in the game, it’s a good idea to start production early. That way, when you unlock blueprints for equipment that uses this shiny metal, you’ll have plenty of ingots lying around and can get smithing right away.
How To Build A Smelter In Sengoku Dynasty
To make bronze, you’ll need toconstruct a smelterin one of your village’s buildings. If you’ve built a Workshop with the standard layout, there’s a perfect spot for a smelterbetween the crafting bench and the general storage.Of course, the location of your first smelter isup to you, as long as it’s indoors.
A smelter requiresone log of any kindandten units of clay.The log is easy enough to find - justchop down any treeordig up a stump with a shovel.For the clay, you’ll need tomake a copper pickax and head to the nearest riverto mine some.
How To Use A Smelter To Make Bronze In Sengoku Dynasty
Once the smelter is constructed, you’ll need three ingredients to actually use it for making bronze:
Each smelter can haveup to 20 bronze ingots queued simultaneously, but will only smelt one at a time. Each ingot takes several minutes to produce, so it’s best toput all the ingredients in the smelterthen go do something else. You can collectg all the produced ingots when you return.

What Is Bronze Used For In Sengoku Dynasty?
Bronze is used to make the third tier of tools and weapons;better than copper, but not as good as iron and steel.These items will last longer, deal more damage, and harvest resources more efficiently than their stone and copper counterparts.
Additionally,bronze tools are requiredto harvest advanced raw materials. In particular,you need a bronze pickax to be able to mine iron ore.
You cancraft a bronze yari at the Workshopas soon as you have your first bronze ingot, which is a very useful weapon for defending yourself. For other blueprints, you’ll need to liberate nearby regions. TheEnjiro Regionwill get you the blueprints for bronze weapons and armor, while theMountain Regionis required for bronze tools.
