Ores, crafting and other things.

I gotta say great job on this game. I am hooked already and I've only made a few swords.

Okay so I've picked up a few ores that are not on the list next to the smelter. As, they are not copper or tin ores. One is an H like symbol the other an I with a o in the middle. How do I find out what they are in the game? Smelt it and see? Or buy one of the other books?

Also on the wall it has levels for Forging, Smithing, Fletching etc. But only smithing goes up. Am I missing something or is this a yet to be added feature? Btw I have only made swords thus far.

Speaking of swords. It says I can use any ingot for the blade, but the fittings always say tin. Is there anything stopping me using copper, bronze etc for these?

Also......what are the keys for in the shop?

Sorry if these have been asked before. I haven't had time to deep dive into the posts here.

Much appreciated

one is probably iron the other nickel, which is which im not sure as i dont have the runes on them figured out yet xD, im not sure on the fittings i usually just use tin because its abundant, and for the keys your miner can find chests and you use the keys to open them

forgot to mention only smithing levels up right now

ore symbols are in the book, And the blank chalkboards will fill in to help with the ore id'ing once you have the book.

Smithing is the only skill that is able to level up currently, the rest act as if they are maxed.

Keys are for chests found in the mine.
