Lead Anvil

The Lead Anvil is a crafting station used mainly to craft weapons and armor. Most of its recipes require metal bars, although is also used to make other items, such as the Jungle tier of equipment. It is functionally identical to the Iron Anvil. The Lead Anvil is a vital crafting station for most of the game, as it is used to make items from every tier up to Cobalt and Palladium, after which it must be replaced by a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil.

Although they are functionally identical, the Lead Anvil may only be crafted and is not available for purchase, while the Iron Anvil can be either crafted or purchased (from the Merchant).

Trivia

 * In reality, lead would not be a feasible metal for making anvils. It would not keep its structure very long, due to the low Mohs hardness (1.5) and melting point (600 K) of pure lead.
