Yes, There is a random in there. Which is why I feel quite confident Salem just doesn't have a large enough data sample to get to the bottom of it.


its also worth mentioning that it is possible to get 15-20 bars in a single firing as well.

Is it possible to get more bars than ore placed in the smelter?

That's a huge random range, assuming 5 lime, 20 ore, and the possability that a 100% return is possible, even if improbable.

He doesn't tell me the numbers he puts in these equations, but I suggest trying a 17 ore vs 8 lime ratio. It's historically accurate.

maybe the way you place the ore and the lime in the smelter may change the final result?

Witches were widely known for their ore smelting powers, right?! :D
