Ingot

Ingots are materials found in Little Empire.
==Types==
Ingots appear in five different types:
* - The most common type of ingot, these ingots are obtained from low-level equipment and most if not all jewelry.
* - Slightly rarer compared to iron ingots, brass ingots can be obtained from low and medium-level equipment, along with most if not all jewelry.
* - Fairly rare ingots, gold ingots can be obtained from medium and high-level equipment along with some higher level jewelry.
* - High quality ingots only obtainable from high-level equipment.
* - Extremely rare ingots only obtainable from breaking down relics.
==Use==
Ingots play an important role for upgrading Hero medals. As the Hero's medal level increases, more ingots are required from the same type, along with additional ingot types up to Mithril.
Ingots are also used to upgrade technology after it has reached level 7, requiring either a mix of iron and gold, or copper and mithril depending on what the technology is. 
They are also used for unit bond strengthening. With the exception of the attack bond (which requires rune fragments instead of a second ingot type), all other bonds require iron along with gold or mithril ingots.
Mithril ingots are required to upgrade relics and Pharaoh equipment into Sea Monster, Abyss, Elemental and Ancient equipment respectively, alongside Magic Spar and Sea Stones (Order Keys are also required for Ancient).
Demonite ingots are required to upgrade relics.
