Dragonsteel
Resource
Like sunsteel, dragonsteel is one of the most important metals ever discovered. Where dragonsteel differs is that it is extremely resistant to magic. Though initially difficult to work with, artifacts, constructs, and buildings made from dragonsteel become nearly indestructible once the godsmiths actually get the enchantments to take.

|---|---|---|
| A boosted character’s starting items | 1 | 50 |
| Dreamstone rewards | 20 | 1–20 |
| Not named by the file | 1 | 6 |
