So, for rank Novice and F at least, you have to use Unknown Ores (gotten by metallurgy) x5 as your source metal. That's all fine and good, but what I really want is to be able to convert copper into silver or mythril down into something (really, anything...got way too much of it). Will higher ranks let me change things other than unknown ores, or are the unknown ores the only thing that you can convert with the skill?

From what I understand, you can convert unknown into iron, iron into copper, copper into silver, silver into gold, and gold into mythril. As you rank, you also don't need as many ores to convert (4:1 changes to a 2:1 ratio).

^ This. You can tern them into ore or bars.
You can read more about it
here. You can also get Tin, Zinc, Nickel and Jewels as side products. But you can't go back. So you're stuck with the Mythril. You should probably sell it if you don't need it.

Ah, alright. The way wiki read it sounded like you had to use unknown ores for all of your training, which would've been a pain to do. I guess I'll be doing a lot of copper->silver then, since I can't do anything with mythril. Thanks.

According to JP wiki, the special metals you can get (Tin, Zinc Nickel) currently have no use. They're completely useless.

no big deal, just 3-4 generations later and they possibly will lol

Don't count on that. Cooking was released in G1, and it was never uncapped. Magic Mastery, also released in G1, is not uncapped until G11, or something like that
devCat has a knack for procrastinating.

It's good to keep useless stuff though. You may never know what can be done with them in future releases.

This is a win skill. My friend has r2 and he thinks at r1 he can take 2 unknown ores and make 1 iron ingot. On Alexina Unknown Ores sell pretty well at 2k per stack. He can make 5 iron ingots for 2k EA. and resell them for 7.5k. Thats a win all day long.
