Refining

Large amounts of resources are required to use these skills but middle to high level crafting require vast amounts of the items it produces.
Refining only comes into play at the middle and higher ends of the Crafting System.
A list the possible amalgams and what makes them:

• Steel = Iron + Wood
• Dramastic = Silver + Iron
• Moonglass = Crystal + Silver
• Tukalite = Stone + Crystal
• Runewood = Stone + Wood

The efficiency of this operation has been said to be between 34% and 100%, meaning 100 Wood + 100 Stone will result in 34 - 100 Runewood.
We can get better results when we increase our Refining Skill for Runewood, Stand near a Refiner and use a Crucible.
