Ingot Expert

Ingot Expert is a crafting skill focused on metallurgy and smelting efficiency. With this perk, your ore processing yields more ingots per batch, whether by reducing waste during smelting or increasing the output multiplier at the furnace. Metal ingots are among the most valuable intermediate crafting materials on Starsand Island, used in everything from tools and weapons to building components.

If your crafting pipeline depends heavily on processed metals, Ingot Expert is a high-priority unlock that pays for itself quickly. It pairs well with Material Saver and Quick Hands for a comprehensive resource-efficient crafting setup. Players who regularly smelt large quantities of copper, iron, or rarer ores will notice a significant difference in their stock levels after unlocking this perk.
